The teachers and children remembered Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, our first

Prime Minister, and celebrated the love that he had for all children with a

host of fun-filled activities. The celebrations began with a prayer

conducted by the teachers. It was a day wherein fun and frolic dominated, after the grind and rigour of academics in the

morning. The teachers presented a light-hearted assembly dedicated to their students. They entertained the students

with a brain-teasing quiz, a thought for the day, a hilarious mime

act. So the day was with the theme “With love from teachers to

students”.

Kids go where there is excitement, they stay where there is love…………

An extempore competition was held for the students of classes IX and X. Extempore is the art of speaking with clarity and the ability to encapsulate one’s thoughts with precision. Students were given interesting and thought provoking topics like All is well, face to face or face book, Laughter - the best medicine and so on to voice their opinion. The session was very relevant to the psyche of today’s youth.

On 18th November students of class VIII, IX and X were taken to Yes Bank on an Educational Visit. Students were

introduced to the various banking segments and departments like the locker, safety Valt and so on. Banking forms an

integral part of our everyday life and this experience for the children at an early age goes a long way in creating

conducive learning opportunities.

“Memories of school Educational trips are among the most prominent of the formative year”

In times when there is a dire need of waste management

and cleanliness, it is essential to awaken the youth towards

recycling and reusing materials that otherwise contribute

to wastage. The students of the primary wing at BTS

brought plastic bottles, old photo frames, CD's, bangles,

newspapers etc. to repurpose them into something new

and creative. This activity was thoroughly enjoyed by the

students as it allowed them to come up with innovative

ideas. The essence of making "best out of waste"

empowered them to utilize scrap to create beautiful as well

as useful items to decorate their homes and school

campus.

with both teachers and students. The performances encompassed various styles of classical and folk numbers which
