The 71st Republic Day was celebrated with great reverence and in all its solemnity at DPS,

Sec-84 Gurugram on 24th January. On the auspicious occasion of Republic day, students

were engaged in many innovative activities, which included the making of tricolor kites using

tear and paste method, tricolor badges and posters to pay homage to our soldiers.

REPUBLIC DAY

“Shades of yellow stimulate our little ones with happiness, energy and optimism…”

With an objective to recapitulate and reinforce the effects of the colour yellow, KG and Nursery

celebrated “Yellow day”. A day dedicated to the yellow colour was marked with children dressed in

different hues and tints of yellow. Children were not only beautifully dressed in their favorite yellow dresses

but also brought yellow objects to make it a complete “Yellow Day”! Tiffins were filled with bananas,

custard, jelly, lemons, mangoes, pineapples etc. A garden with paper sunflowers was also set up in the KG

classes. The teachers were beaming with pride when the confident little commentators described the yellow

objects with expression and flair. Focusing on the theme the teachers planned art and collage activities and

their artwork was displayed on the soft boards. To make the children understand about the significance of

the colour yellow, various colorful activities including drawing, colouring, origami paper craft etc. were

conducted in a lively, vibrant and high - spirited environment. Cheerful Children attired in yellow outfits

were sparkling with optimism and happiness. Beams of yellow carried the promise of a positive future

flashing creative thoughts in the young minds. The motive of celebrating this yellow colour day was to make

the children aware of the colour, its significance and to develop fine motor skills in the students. Yellow- the

colour of wisdom and intellectual energy had a positive influence on our tiny tots.

The medieval period of

Indian history was

vibrantly recreated by

the students of grade

VII, through their

presentations on

political, social,

economic and cultural

aspects of the past. They

enthusiastically made

models of architecture,

scrap books and dynasty

charts. The creativity of

the students was at its

peak in the activity "My

Story: My Words"

where they came

dressed up as great men

and women of the past

and highlighted their

achievements and

failures.. Overall it was

a pleasure to see the

students deeply involved

in bringing back the

glorious past to life.

INNOVATIVE CLASSES

SOCIAL STUDIES

Area and Perimeter are very important terms while dealing with mathematics. In sync with this students

were shown an interactive video to understand how to calculate the area and perimeter of plane figures.

INNOVATIVE CLASSES - MATHEMATICS

The topic symmetry was introduced through a colouring activity in which they drew

symmetrical patterns using poster colours. The activity helped the students to explore their

creative skills and imagination through various symmetrical designs

Students were shown an informative video on Area and Volume to deepen their understanding of the concept. They

learnt different terms such as 1D, 2D shapes, 3D figures, area, volume and units of measurement of area and

volume. The students enjoyed watching the video and enthusiastically participated in the doubt clarification session

related to the topic.

INNOVATIVE CLASSES - Kindergarten

Students of Kindergarten enjoyed making a snowman and brought cold chilly snowflakes a la cotton swabs in

their art files. Moreover, January is usually cold enough to build snowmen and is therefore a perfect chance

to celebrate the International Snowman day. Students also enjoyed dancing to the tune of the animals of the

Arctic regions. With all their groovy moves, they won the hearts of all!

Exploring Adaptations!

The students of grade VI and VII explored and researched on biodiversity found in various regions

around the world. They represented various ecosystems through interesting role – play activities,

excellent models and descriptive charts. This activity taught them the virtue of team work and working in

collaboration.

INNOVATIVE CLASSES - Science

INNOVATIVE CLASSES -ENGLISH

A story writing activity that paved the way for the children of Grade V to pen down their

thoughts and feelings in a new and spontaneous way. Reflection, creativity and self -

expression are the hallmarks of meaningful writing. The group work strengthened their

decision - making skills and enabled them to formulate their own point of view.

Children enjoyed developing their own stories. As said by William Faulkner- "If a story

is in you, it has got to come out."

The children of grade 5 participated wholeheartedly in a quick interactive activity,

which reinforced their understanding and knowledge of synonyms. In the activity, the

children were divided into two groups with each group having one set of words. Both the

groups were handed the challenge of word scavenging for such similar pairs within a

prescribed time limit. It was a fun as well as a meaningful experience for them.

Mathematics DAY

“Math gives us every reason to hope that every problem has a solution”.

In an effort to lay a strong foundation of Mathematics among the students, DPS sector-84 celebrated

Math Day on 31st January 2020.The importance of Mathematics has never been greater than now

and for the foreseeable future. Training students to become adept users of Mathematics and to

appreciate its usefulness is of paramount importance for the future. Students who participated in

various activities displayed spirited enthusiasm, absorbing information and enjoying the stimulating

exercise of the mind. To encourage young learners to get involved, to dispel Math phobia and to

create a love for the subject, to perceive the connection of mathematical concepts with real life

situations, were the primary objectives of the Math Day celebrations. Math Day was held from

Grades I to IX.

Grade I kids enjoyed ‘Shopping with paper money’ where they learn the concept of buying and

selling also. Grade II enjoyed the activity ‘Our World in Shapes’ using geometrical figures. Students

of Grade III participated in Tangram activity, consisting of 5/7 geometric pieces, a popular

mathematical problem solving activity to bring out the best in pupils. Grade IV created beautiful

patterns using Tessellation Kit. Grades VI participated in an activity ‘Compass Art’ wherein they

made beautiful designs by integrating Art with Math and students of grade VIII participated in

‘Nets of Solids’ activity wherein they gave a 3-D shape to their net. The purpose of the Math Day was

to teach the students about basic mathematics in a simple and playful manner. All the activities were

thoroughly enjoyed by the students.

SCIENCE DAY

‘Science begins with wonder, scientific temperament and critical thinking.’

Science day was organized on 31.01.2020 in school where students participated with great

enthusiasm and excitement. Students built amazing models such as the Stress Meter, Smart

Garbage bin, Newton’s Cradle, Hydraulic Elevator, Alexa using Raspberry Pi, Voice controlled

futuristic car, Gyro boy, Candy vending machine and many more. The day proved to be very

enriching and fulfilling in terms of learning and innovation. The event was graced by the school

Pro Vice Chairman Mr. Aditya Paul Lakhanpal, Principal Lt. Cdr (retd.) Vijay Chaudhary and

Headmistress Ms. Sreelekha Sarcar who surveyed the various exhibits displayed by the students

and interacted with them on various models. Their encouragement and appreciation boosted the

confidence of the students. The event provided a platform for scientific exploration and innovations

for the future scientists.

Technophile

“Thriving in the face of Technology Change”.

We at DPS 84 believe in preparing our children to be ‘Future Ready’ by acquainting them with the

latest in technological developments. So we organized our Technology Day full of varied IT activities

integrated with science and math from Grades I to IX. Challenging the mind with tasks helps uncover

the hidden potential of the student and also brings the desired confidence needed for their development,

growth, learning and success. With the above in mind, the students of Grades I and II were involved in

various integrated activities such as educational games, math bingo, find the technology, quiz and key

stroke as a part of Technology Day. Their involvement and creativity during the activities undertaken

helped them learn with great zeal.

Coding is basic literacy in the digital age, and it is important for students to understand and be able to

work with and understand the technology around them.

Keeping this in mind Grades III and IV students were exposed to new ways of learning coding concept

with the help of “Scratch Animation”. They learnt about forever loop, repeat loop, if and else statement;

and many more in a fun way. They coded their own simple and fun games such as "Build musical

band", "Ping ball", “Maze game”, “Catch the balloon” etc.

Skype Session: Learning beyond Classroom:

A skype session was organized for Grade V students with Steve Sherman from South Africa on tips

and tricks of Mathematics. Also students were made aware on how educational networking can be

done across borders using the Skype App.

Kahoot Quiz Masters and Players

Students of Grade VII created online quizzes using the

KAHOOT App on the topics of Math and Science and their peer

fellows enjoyed playing them. This activity motivated them to be

a Self-Learner.

CHATBOTS

.

Chatbots “Our Friends in Need”

AI and Chatbots are buzzwords today and so it is at DPS 84. Our senior students – Ark

Abyudaya of Grade IX, conducted an awareness session for Grade VI students on how

chatbots can be created and the technology behind it. They also elaborated on the logical

flowchart used for the working of chatbots.

Suryansh Gupta of Grade VIII highlighted some of the interesting examples of AI and

futuristic jobs related to AI. Our Grade VI students observed the presentations.

Gamified Learning

Students of Grade VIII were engaged in building Smart homes with auto features using Minecraft

App. They creatively applied their thinking in building sensing doors and other safety features that

can be used for repelling mob attacks.

The entire event provided a platform to the students to showcase their skills, bring out their

creativity, face the challenges and overcome their weaknesses.

COUNSELLING SESSIONS

Exams are around the corner! Grades V to IX are going to utilize the month of

February to prepare for their final examinations. Spiderman’s wise Aunt May

once said – ‘With great power comes great responsibility.’ For our young

students the responsibility of doing well in the exams brings forth a plethora of

competitiveness, a sense of efficiency and a healthy dose of stress. All these are

necessary to do well – but just as superheroes need the help of capes and special

powers so do our young exam warriors.

The school has organized counselling sessions for all grades (V – IX) to combat

exam stress in the best possible manner and we at DPS 84 hope that they will

emerge not only with flying colours but also with dollops of patience and

wisdom to tackle everything that is thrown their way after these interactive

sessions!

Thank you
