Where focus goes energy follows – Tony Robbins

My heart pounds out of my chest, my seared lungs barely using the shallow breaths I take in. Sweat pours

down my forehead in sheets as I dodge each blow dealt by my opponent, trying to retaliate as quickly as

my weak legs can. SMACK! My foot hits my opponent on the side of his head- hard! Temporarily

stunning him, I follow up with a quick reverse punch to the chest, scoring another point. Hurry!!! – Zuzu

FIELD TRIPS

“We must teach the way students learn.”

- Pedro Nogeura

Zuzu loves to visit places, meet people,

learn new things. Hence, DPS gives every

year Zuzu and his friends the opportunity to

go out for Field Trips to learn new things in

the way they want. The main objective of

conducting a field trip for students is to

reinforce experiential and contextual

learning. Field trips are a way of enhancing

classroom learning by making real world

connections. The trips give students the

opportunity to observe a particular

environment that enables first-hand

experience of what they are learning. In

addition, students achieve a higher level of

critical thinking when they evaluate their

own learning compared with what they get

exposed to, and they are able to modify their

knowledge based on their personal

experiences. Field trips also offer students

and teachers the opportunity to interact

outside of the classroom, thus enhancing their bonding with each other and improving their social and life

skills.

Zuzu’s little friends from Grades 1 & 2 visited Chocolate Factory where they have explained the ingredients,

the preparation and the packing. Zuzu’s little masters from Grades 3 & 4 visited Tribal Museum where

students understood the Tribals are the heritage of our own nation and also gathered information of their

living styles, dance forms, eating habits and cultures of varied Tribes across the country. They returned with

good amount of information which was assessed by the worksheet.

THE TIMES NIE COLOUR SPLASH

DPS, Nadergul encourages Zuzu and his friends to participate not only in external exams, sports and

also in fine arts. One of most popular newspapers The Times of India conducted state wide art

competition with the name – The Times NIE Colour Splash. More than 700 children participated from

all over the state. Zuzu is so excited to announce 4 of his friends reached the finals and B. Akshaya

from Grade 6 secured second place and won a moment, certificate and the bag.

Zuzu remembers how cold the month was!! Even the lights were cold!! The jumping, pumping children’s

day, Fearless Field Trips, Smashing sports achievements, dashing Diwali celebrations and sportive Parent’s

sports meet took away all the cold and chill from Zuzu’s mind.

Zuzu with the winning spirit of “India Book of Records” and many more sport achievements recounts his

amazing journey of the month of Autumn – November.
