TWIST AND TURN

We at MBS International School continuously integrate activities that stimulate holistic learning. Origami is one art form which helps this objective greatly.
The skill of Origami not only helps stimulate listening skills (following instructions carefully), it greatly strengthens the fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination etc. Transforming a piece of paper into a three-dimensional object is a unique exercise. It sharpens the attention and concentration ability of the children and lends manual agility.

All the sections of Grade 1 & 2 conducted origami activity on 20th April, 2021. Children participated in this creative venture with great zeal and high spirits.
Children were amazed to see transformation of a flat sheet square of paper into a finished sculpture of boat. Budding stars created unique and exclusive shapes and structures to showcase their finesse in paper craft. They made origami boat and displayed them with great pleasure and gratification. This activity triggered their imagination and enhanced their creative skills.
Origami provided our little ones with wonderful “schematic learning through repeatable actions”. As the teachers virtually demonstrated, children watched closely and listened carefully to the specific instructions and then carried them with originality, neatness and accuracy.
With the origami boat they created the Night Sea Scenery. They made the scene with the help of stars, cotton & white bindi.
The paper folding craft was not only a fun filled experience, but it also proved to be a valuable means to develop artistic skills in the young ones.

TARURAKSHA

“What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror of reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.”

As penned very aptly by Mahatma Gandhi conserving the trees hold a very important role for today’s generation so the future generations are not deprived by their benefits. MBS International School on this Rakshabandhan took a pledge to sensitize its students of their responsibility towards the environment.

Raksha Bandhan centres around tying a thread on the wrist, symbolising the bond between brothers and sisters, and sense of protection and care for each other. Given that trees contribute to the environment by providing oxygen, improving air quality, conserving water, preserving soil and supporting wildlife, other than sustaining human life, trees protect us from great detriments, few activities were planned and executed in the first week of August. The students of classes VI & VII were asked to plant a sapling and tie a rakhi around it and vow to protect it always like we protect our near and dear ones. Classes VIII to X were supposed to design posters on ‘Protect the Trees and they will take care of you’ and Classes XI & XII have to engage themselves with nature by doing creative writing on the topic ‘Write a story about tree surviving a strong wind storm. If a tree had emotions how would it feel about being cut down?’ The activities were symbolic, reinforcing the responsibility of protector (the people) to their protégé (trees).   In the light of large-scale deforestation that is irreversible in many cases, the activities are significant. Students have participated in all the activities making this initiative a success for all of us and most importantly nature.

Hence children of preprimary were engaged in an interesting activity ‘Splish Splash Water Fun’ to celebrate summer season. Children enjoyed the splish splash with coloured water and made a beautiful art work. The smiles, the fun & enjoyment was the highlight of this online class, even parents too were having fun and were taking turns with their child to do splish splash.
