all must be busy getting your books and things ready for school.I am sure you all had a wonderful break which like i must have mentioned earlier was well learned.

Some of you must have travelled abroad,or must have gone to visit family.Some must have stayed home and attended summer classes,learning new things and making new

friends.Whatever you did i am sure you enjoyed.What you must remember is

to thank  your parents for all they have done to make sure you had a good time.

Be grateful for all you have. Share your experiences with you friends and remember

-listen to them and be happy for them- dont envy them.

Your Pearls of Wisdom:

1.  Always be Grateful for all you have.

2.  Appreciate others and listen to them and make them happy.

3.  Always remember the magic word Thank You.

Today is the 5th of june….Lets all join hands and celebrate:

WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY.

Mahatma Gandhi wrote “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need,

but not every man’s greed”.

This very simply means that the planet called earth on which we live is like

our mother which provides us all we need to live(that is why we call it

Mother Earth.)What do we need to live ?We need water to drink ,air to

breathe and food to eat.So you see kids the earth  just like your mum gives you all these things..Without her

we could’nt survive.And yet we keep mistreating her.Now to reverse this lets

each one of us do our share.Lets first see a few pictures.

Kids  let us all promise to save our mother earth.

Here are our pearls of wisdom:

1.   Each one plant one.( a plant)

2.  Gift a plant.-Flowers look beautiful on plants.

3.  Save water.-you can decide how to do that.-remember dont waste water

in your school bottle.Fill only half the bottle and refill if you need more.

4.  No to plastic.-remind your mum and maid to use a paper or better still

a cloth bag.You can wash and reuse it.

5.  Keep your surrounding clean.-Separate wet and dry waste,

.

6.  Try to reuse things.

Here are pictures of a beautiful world lets try to keep it this way.

Are’nt the pictures beautiful.It’s put to us to save the world.Each one in

his\her own little way.Cheers- start this very minute and remember to share

with your friends .Make this a weekend game.

A very special day for India.This is the day when the constitution of India

was implemented. It mentions the rights and duties of every Indian.

Hello kids,

I am writing almost after 3 months.The last time we shared things was

in December.I have been wanting to write for sometime but somehow just

did’nt get down to it.Now here is something to think about and that is

“TIME AND TIDE WAIT FOR NO MAN”.The tide comes in every twelve hours.

There is nothing that can stop it.The time too just clicks away minute by

minute.We just can’t ask time to stop.What is important is to do or complete

whatever comes in your mind.Don’t put away things for another time.

Remember,if you postpone doing something you may just feel sorry why you

did not do what you wanted to do -maybe it becomes too late .

As you grow up you will learn about the famous sufi poet Kabri- he wrote many

dohas-couplets(a couplet means a 2 line poem).One of them i will write –

“Kal kare so aaj kar,                       

Aaj kare so ab,                                     Sant Kabir

Pal main parley hoyegi,

Bahuri karega kab?”

To explain very simply-You should complete your work now instead of delaying-

You may not get another chance .

Remember time cannot stop.Never wait for tomorrow.

These last 3 months we have had quite a few festivals.I will just put up a few

pictures with values:-

Makar sankranti-the kite flying festival.It is a harvest festival celebrated

in almost all parts of india.In the south as pongal and in punjab as maghi.Many

melas or fairs are held on this day.The most famous is the kumbh mela held

every 12 years.

check the art and craft section for some fun.

December is the last month of the year.Do you know how many months

in a year?Thats right 12 months.The year is full of exiciting days and events.

Its for us to make them happy ones ,doing things to remember not only

by ourselves but also by others.We need to care and share with the less

fortunate, have gratitude and learn to be happy and thankful(satisfied)

for all we have.Christmas is a festival of joy and happiness.Read below:-

Pearls of Wisdom:-

I am sure you had great fun during Christmas ,buying gifts,visiting santa

and attending parties.You must have had your annual or Christmas concert

just before your Christmas vacation.Now you must back in school getting

ready for your final exams.

A little bit of fun even though Christmas is over.Go to the art section and

learn to make an angel.

Merry Christmas(Sorry I’m a month late)

The festivals of lights- Diwali -was last month.We have all enjoyed ourselves

Many of us waited every night for the 5 days of Diwali just to burst crackers.

Its great fun the sparkles bombs and rockets.Something to know about sound

Sound is all around us-louder during the day and softer at night.Each sound is different

Do you know how sound is produced?Sound is produced whenever an

object is made to vibrate or move rapidly backwards and forwards.A

simple way to feel vibration is to hold a balloon that touches the front of a spesker

when music is playing.Try it-  did you feel the balloon vibrate?Most

vibrations are too quick to see.As you grow and come to higher classes you will

learn more about sound.

The loudness of a sound is measured in decibels -db- look at the picture

below and see how loud a sound somethings you see almost daily make-

How can we help –

1.  Speak softly dont scream.

2.  Enjoy music but not so loud so that others get disturbed.

3.  Use the horn only if you have to-learn to be a little patient.This is for

your dad/mum or your driver.

4.  Dont bang doors and windows.You know by doing so you may only

damage them.Learn to gently close them -it dosent take time-try.

We all know that we hear with our ears.We enjoy soft and musical

sounds.Very loud sound are painful and disturbing,and loud sounds can

lead to permanent ear damage sometimes deafness.Have a look at the

picture below this is how your ear is outside and inside.You’ll learn about

it as you grow up.

Well lets all try each one in their own little way to control sound pollution.

Lets start with”Talk softly dont scream”. Enjoy music and also watch

our favourite programme on the tv ….but remember not very loud.It’s

not far to disturb others.Have you ever tried to sit out in a park at home

or near the sea and just close your eyes and quietly listen.You’ll be

surprised at all the different sounds you can hear,try and identify them

it can be fun.You’ll get a nice feeling try.
