RPS Gurugram 89 - Activities (Junior)

 तरक्की की है राह पे चल रहा, मेरा प्रदेश न्यारा, शिक्षा का है विकास यहां पे, है नंबर वन हरियाणा !  Haryana was established on November 1, 1966, and we celebrate Haryana Day on this day. Haryana is a state which lies in the northern region of India although Haryana is not a very large state in the country but holds a lot of significance for the nation. It is a state which is rich in agriculture, industries and is best known for producing the best athletes for the country especially in the field of wrestling and boxing.  RPSIS-89  planned Haryana Day activity for classes I-V. Children wrote about any one or two specific important features of Haryana with respect to the following:  1. Divisions 2. Rivers 3. Cuisines 4. Language 5. Dresses Children participated well and the best ones was displayed on the boards .

 Haryana means the “Land of God” and we certainly have Gods residing on our auspicious land. Haryana was constituted on November 1, 1966. Since, this day we celebrate every year November 1 as Haryana day. Haryana is well known for it’s folk music, dance, handicrafts, pottery and weaving.  To make the students aware about the state, a “Haryana day activity” was organised for the students of GRADE 1&2. The students were told to write few lines about the state and even draw pictures. Students wrote such good things about the state, that we were surprised as been so small they all know so much. Few students even draw beautiful pictures in which they exhibited about the well known things of Haryana. It was really amazing how the students were taking so much interest to know about the importance of the Haryana state and even sharing their knowledge as well.

  Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. Halloween is a fun day observed in various parts of the world on 31st Oct every year. Ancient people believed that ghosts come back on earth on Halloween, there fore it is associated with the idea of good fortune. It is the most anticipated celebration of the fall season for the young children. To keep up this spirit, Pre-Primary kids of RPS Sec-89 geared up to celebrate this festival by dressing up as characters of Halloween for Fancy Dress Activity. The students also eagerly and enthusiastically made scary handmade crafts like puffy ghosts and also enjoyed watching Halloween Movie. It was indeed a fun day for the kids.  

 The Festival illuminates the Earth as well as the Skies and brings joy to abound in this world. It is a festival when the whole of India transcends into a land of myriad lamps. Deepavali, the Festival of Lights has all the charm, grandeur and splendour that can even illuminate our minds and hearts while also promoting the much-needed peace, harmony and brotherhood in the society. It is a festival that unifies every religion, every home and every heart. Diwali's essence lies in the sloka, 'Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya' which means “ Lead me from darkness to light.” Similarly, we have to light the lamp of happiness, the lamp of prosperity and the lamp of knowledge to dispel sorrow, poverty as well as disease. To celebrate the spirituality of the festival students for LKG Begonia conducted the assembly. They dressed up as the different characters of Ramayana. They danced beautifully. It was mesmerising to see them performing wonderfully.

 “Life is all about sharing. If we are good at something, pass it on."    -Mary Berry  To emphasize the fact that great satisfaction comes from sharing with others, a special assembly was presented by the students of Class lll Loyalty on 14th October, 2022. The programme began with the prayer, preceded by news headlines and thought of the day. The assembly commenced with the soulful poem . This was followed by a short speech. A glorious skit was also performed by the students which signified the importance of sharing.  Principal ma'am, Ms. Shiva Yadav, appreciated the efforts of the students and shared a few words on the topic Sharing is caring. National Anthem was sung by all the children at the end of the assembly.
