Children love to play with colours and keeping this in mind, an Intra class Colouring Competition was organised for the students of grades Nursery and Prep. Judgement criterion for the competition was neatness and usage of colours. Students thoroughly enjoyed dabbling with bright and beautiful colours and made the pictures come alive. Working with their pencil and colours, unleashing their creative thoughts and ideas on the Drawing Sheets, the competition turned out to be a platform to bring together budding artists to showcase their talent.

School reopening is always a blend of many emotions and feelings. Moreover, returning to school holds lots of excitement in tender hearts of kids. Thus, it is of utmost importance that this day must unfold surprises and should be full of gestures which can welcome kids with warmth, love and care.To make this day more memorable for our little ones, we at Presidium planned various fun filled and child centric activities. Children were welcomed in a traditional way with a tilak and were showered with flowers. Children enjoyed outdoor activities like hoopla ring activity and balls in the basket. The Presidians enjoyed dancing on the beats of songs and getting pictures clicked in different selfie frames️ made by our talented teachers at a special welcome party. It was a wonderful day where teachers and children spent beautiful moments of love and togetherness. 

With summer in full swing, how can we not mention relishing our favourite fruit ever, Mango! Well, for one of our proud Presidians this love for mangoes also got her a big victory. Deepti Bhatnagar recently participated in the Big Boys Lounge Mango Contest and created her very own dessert recipe - Mango Halwa and Mango Ladoos. Her dish was judged by popular Chefs like Nishant Chobey and Sanjay Raina. The judges truly loved her dish and appreciated her for the special creation which made her the proud winner among many other participants. It was a truly Mangolicious summer for our young Chef Deepti!

An Accounting Equation is a mathematical expression which shows that the assets and liabilities of a firm are equal. An Accounting Equation is based on the Dual Aspect Concept of accounting meaning that, every transaction has two aspects- Debit and Credit. We recently conducted a classroom activity for our students based on this very concept. The students were introduced to the idea of preparing a balance sheet. They also learnt that every transaction affects either both sides of the equation or a positive effect on one item and a negative effect on another item on the same side of the accounting equation.

The activity helped us achieve the objective of making the students aware about the effect of a transaction (increase or decrease) on the assets, liabilities, capital, revenue and expenses.

Presidium recently organised a campaign on ‘Say No To Tobacco’ wherein a classroom discussion took place for spreading and informing the negative impact that tobacco has on people’s health, from cancer to chronic respiratory diseases. The campaign also served as a call to action, advocating for effective policies to reduce tobacco consumption and engaging stakeholders across multiple sectors in the fight for tobacco control. This yearly celebration informs the public on the dangers of using tobacco, the business practices of tobacco companies, what WHO is doing to fight the tobacco epidemic, and what people around the world can do to claim their right to health and healthy living and to protect future generations. Every student participated in the discussion and learnt about how Tobacco is the second major cause of death in the world and what is the need of the hour to solve this adversity. They also made posters for their vicinity to spread awareness.

Dance can help restore joy and stability in  lives and ease the tensions in school. In one evaluation, 95 percent of teachers said that, as a result of dancing together, students’ abilities to cooperate and collaborate improved. We are fortunate to have tied up with excellent teachers who are not only experts in their field of dance but are also passionate about teaching their craft to little children. Music is taught by a teacher who not only is an expert; but also understands the needs of children and how to bring out and nurture their musicality. The instruments offered include keyboard, bongo, Congo drums, violin and guitar. The fact that the respective teachers understand children very well is testament to how much they enjoy these classes. In addition to teaching the dance and music sequences, the classes also act as a good opportunity for children to build strength and focus.

Under the theme  ‘Food’ with immense joy and excitement our grade 3 students recently

organised a Food Fair, wherein they learnt about the cultural diversity in India and rejoiced the

different delicacies of various states. The school was wonderfully decorated and each state had

been assigned a different space wherein the students displayed various food items that

belonged to that state. Students were beautifully dressed representing the state and it was a

wonderful sight with colours of cultures everywhere. The students welcomed the guests in the

folk language of the state they were representing. The aroma of the food also made everyone’s

taste buds water and stomach grumble. The fair undoubtedly became one of the most

memorable experience for each one of them. With this experience they learnt that despite of

having different cultures and food choices , we all are equal and important in our own way.

A special assembly was held on the occasion of Buddha Purnima for our Presidians. The theme of the assembly was the eight fold path of life, i.e, Right knowledge,  Right attitude, Right speech, Right action Right means of livelihood, Right effort, Right awareness and Right meditation. The assembly began with school prayer and proceeded with a talk about the importance of Buddha Purnima by students. They expressed their views regarding the life of Gautam Buddha and the importance of non-violence. Students of grade 11th and 12th enacted the story of Lord Buddha and spoke on teachings of Buddha and his eight fold path of life. The students also took part in group meditation. The assembly

included the thought of the day based on the teachings of Gautam Buddha and insisted everyone to follow.
