On 8th November we had visitors
in our school that have done a lot for us. Guess who they were? “Our own
GRANDPARENTS”. The day started with a great bang with us there.
We all invited
the grandparents warmly and made them comfortable. Usually our grandparents
help us with all small and big things, so as a small token we helped them and
served all the grandparents food.They enjoyed every bit of
the meal and at the
end they had no space in their tummy. After all the yummy food they all
gathered in the “MPH”. We, grade 5 had prepared a short and fun program for
them. We started with a lovely poem in our mother tongue that was for “Dadaji”.
Our understanding for this poem was that, even if this poem is for Dadaji we
recited it for all the grandparents.
To make this day more exciting we
carried on with a game called “Kaun Banega Chocolatepati”!! The game was if you
answer 5-6 questions you get a chocolate. The questions were not that simple!
For example, one of questions was ‘When did Krish-3 release?’
To make the grandparents remember
their happy childhood we held a game, in which the grandparents had to pick a
chit and do what the chit said. For example lots of memorable and fun things
came up like sing a song, recite a hymn you use to say in school or even you
missed your CHANCE!
As the wonderful day went by, the
last thing came and that was sharing time. In this the grandparents shared
things with us from the past. Grandparents shared with us a big tiger paw
print, ancient coins and a vintage car that was massive to school.We
all were given a ride in the car.A day of sharing and caring for all of us!

Grandparents day! Every child in
pathways loves this day, after all everyone's grandparent's come. Today was a
very great day. The fifth grade students escorted all the grandparents to the
lunch hall and all of them had tasty breakfast.
Then we went to our MPH where
we played games- one of it was called KBC , 'Kaun Banega Choclatepati' .It was a fun-filled
game , just like “Kaun Banega Crorepati” which is game is all about money. The
game made by fifth grade students is a whole lot different. In this, they have
to answer all the questions and win the chocolate being given by our anchor.
What a game it was! The next game the grandparents played was a chit game. It
was great fun too. Three children would go to the seats where the grandparents
were sitting. The children had a bag full of chits and the grandparent had to
pick one chit and do what is written on it. There were many interesting ones -- like sing a prayer that used to
happen in your school, tell the name of
your favourite hero and act like him, express your feelings to someone any many
more.
All these were very interesting chits .Then some of the grandparents came
up and shared some of their experiences. One of the grandparent talked about
the tigers in India. It surely gave us
lot of knowledge. Another grandparent
came up and talked about some of the past things like water pumps, old
telephones and old coins.
We got to know about past things. We had made a box
in the class that contained a message and a letter all the grandparents were
very happy after seeing that. Then when we were taking our grandparents to the
exit, we got a surprise, we saw a vintage car, it was 1936 model owned by
Prithvirajs's grandfather. Such a beautiful car it was, every child in the
fifth grade got a ride in that car, we all loved it a lot and then all the
grandparents left and we went back. THANK YOU GRANDPARENTS. It was indeed a
memorable day.
