Mahatma Gandhi, popularly known as the 'Father of the Nation', played a stellar role in India's freedom struggle. To celebrate his birth anniversary with loads of love and gratitude, the students of Presidium Indirapuram came together for a special assembly on Gandhi Jayanti. To start with, the little Presidians enlightened the audience about Gandhi Ji’s great work and his contribution in freedom struggle. The little leaders of tomorrow danced on the song 'bande mein tha dum' to give a beautiful enlightenment about the greatest leader of yesterday. It was truly a patriotic experience for everyone present!

Dance is the conversation of the body with the soul and it is thus, rightly considered as one of the most captivating art forms, which beautifully showcase self-expression. Considering that dance is a great source for boosting creativity, imagination, confidence and focus in young hearts, an 'inter-class dance competition' was organised recently for the pre-primary students of Presidium Indirapuram. Focusing on all-round development and dancing skills of the students, the western dance-themed competition called in our vivacious dancers to set the floor on fire with their energetic performances and enthralled everyone.

If you are going to get anywhere in life, you have to read a lot of books!

Reading is one of the most important skill a child needs to learn to succeed in life as by developing good reading habits, a child not only benefits academically, but in everyday life as well. In order to promote a good reading habit and motivate students to perform and excel, Presidium Indirapuram recently organized an 'intra-class reading competition' for students of grade 2. The Presidians participated enthusiastically in the competition and were continuously practicing reading strategies. Displaying great effort and passion, the little students were motivated and appreciated by the teachers with certificates. The fun-filled contest helped in motivating the 'leaders of tomorrow' to learn and read better.

The International day of Peace is dedicated to world peace, and specially the absence of war and violence.

To save our dying rivers, our young Presidians recently came forward to join their hands and sensitized and motivated many more for the same by supporting Isha Foundation's nationwide campaign - Rally For Rivers. A special assembly was organized to unveil the hard truth that Ganga, Krishna, Narmada, Kaveri – many of our great rivers are depleting fast. Giving the students of Presidium Indirapuram a feeling of responsibility that If we do not act now, the legacy we hand over to the next generation will be one of conflict and deprivation, the assembly was a profound display of enthusiasm. Students also took a pledge to nurture and nourish our rivers back to health.

The dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you on to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth.

 

To express their heartfelt gratitude to the beautiful souls for believing in us, inspiring us in every possible way and making us the proud humans that we are today, our young students celebrated the Teachers’ Day with excitement. The celebration started in the traditional way of paying respect with tilak, sweets and beautiful handmade cards by students themselves. The Presidians of Indirapuram presented some scintillating performances that were packed with energy and created a mesmerizing aura. While we gave certificates to our teachers, Lord Ganesha murtis were gifted to the present VPs. In this event, it was not only the students who performed; but the talents of our teachers were also brought up to the stage.

Splash, splash everywhere; puddles of water here and there!

 

Water play is an inevitable part of a child's life and it also helps in gross motor development and eye hand coordination. Considering this, we recently organized a pool activity for our little Presidians at Indirapuram. The tiny tots from grades nursery enjoyed their splash pool activity in their colourful swimsuits. Bubbling with excitement and enthusiasm, the children relished jumping in the water, splashing water at their friends and playing with each other. It was a memorable and fun-filled experience for all.

Having good general knowledge is an important facet of our personality and helps us win at almost everything. Realizing the vast importance of GK, Presidium Indirapuram thought of giving exposure to the children of grade 1 by conducting an 'intra-class GK quiz competition'. Theme of the competition was 'world around us' and the children were asked to prepare for the related topic. They were divided into 4 teams of 5 members each and they were assessed on different rounds like 'content and knowledge', 'audio visual' and 'rapid fire'. Children answered the questions brilliantly and felt very interested in the quiz as they had really worked hard and prepared for it. Team with the most correct answers won and other teams sportingly applauded for them. It was indeed a well interactive session for the 'leaders of tomorrow'.
