“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing
that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have
contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your
gratitude.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
And this is what we precisely saw in the Primary School’s
morning assembly attended by students from KG upward. Students learning from
their peers, the essence and the importance of a wonderful festival of North
America called ‘Thanksgiving’. In line with this the children explored
Gratitude as the greatest of all virtues and we had Grade 3 sharing how people
from all around the world express their gratitude for the wonderful things that
we have been blessed with, through a short role play.
It was followed by a
video of ‘The Plymouth rock’ sharing its story and the history of
‘Thanksgiving’.
Form 3 also shared their unit’s summative on “Expressions”
where they chose and adapted the story of ‘The Gruffalo’ by Julia Donaldson as
a skit. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all the students attending the assembly.
It was indeed amazing to see these young talents up on the stage taking charge
of just about everything, right from the casting and the narration to managing
the stage and taking care of all the logistics. The entire assembly was
fabulously coordinated by Grade 3 students and their teachers, Ms. Aruna Jha,
Ms. Meher Khan and Ms. Kaajal Pahwa.
What a great start to a great day!
