Games, rides, fun and friends were the highlights of celebrations held in private schools on Monday. Back to school after 50 days of vacation, children were happy to meet their friends and share stories of adventures.
Adding to the celebrations, schools had planned especial welcome events for children. In some schools, children rode trains, bicycles and had a merry time with the popular Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.
As the schools re-opened after summer vacations, it was a joyful day for children returning to meet their friends and share memories of their travels. While some students engaged in board games and outdoor sports, many chose to pick a corner and enjoy talking to their bestie.
Welcomed with flowers and songs
Some schools chose to welcome the children with flowers and special motivational songs. “My teachers sang my favourite poem ‘twinkle twinkle’ and even gave me a star,” 6-year-old student Vanya Khandelwal said.
Ensuring that students learn something on the first day, teachers had prepared special series of games to educate children. “We told them stories and taught them numbers through it, which is a fun way to learn,” pre-primary teacher Khushboo Sukhija said.
Induction program for seniors
It was time to get serious and prepare for their future for senior students. For classes IX to XII, induction programmes highlighting the importance of each subject were organised.
Students were prepared for their upcoming session by ensuring that students do not underestimate the importance of any subject. “Students should not feel pressured and if they study basic everyday then it is much easier to learn instead of cramming books before examinations,” educator Nisha Ahmad said.
Rough start with only one shift
While it seemed everything was smooth, students of Agrawal Public School had a rough start for the day. “Normally, there are two shifts in schools, one at 7:15 am for senior students and another at 8:30 am for junior students,” parent association representative Sanjay Mangal said.
However, the school clubbed both and had only second shift running for the entire school. “There was no place in the bus, students had to stand in the bus and go to school,” Mangal said.
