WENDY TIMES News Letter March – May 2015

“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”

We believe that a small step in the right direction will blaze a trail on the pathway of success,

unprecedented and humongous, bringing to the fore talents in multifarious fields.

Hearty greetings to all! Just as spring heralds new life , warmth and brightness , the pitter patter of feet

in the School corridors indicate that the school year has not only begun, but is well on its way to being

one that is filled with fun and activities. Surely by now everybody, particularly the new admissions have

become familiar with the school and its way of life. Every Wendyites‘ is fairly occupied and is looking

forward to something – be it club work or inter house competition. We have great plans for the school

and hope to inspire all of you to become regular contributors. Do not forget that creativity resides in all

of you, students and teachers alike, and we are going to make numerous attempts to unleash it. My Best

Wishes to all the students, staff members and Academic Heads.

The Power of Positive Thinking

G r o w t h, E x p a n s i o n, Success three aspects that every person in today's fast paced competitive

world seeks. Striving to achieve these aspects is our goal The power of positive thinking which admits in

a person's mind favorable thoughts, words and images is a mental attitude that results in happiness,

joy, good health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. When the attitude is positive we

entertain pleasant feelings and productive images, and see in our mind what we really want to happen.

We are able to broadcast goodwill, happiness and success. Positive Time management is not just for

adults, putting basic management techniques into practice benefits children immensely. Best way to

enable them to understand time is to organize their daily activities. A simple chart if prepared weekly,

outlining special activities of each day will encourage children to develop a habit of referring to the

chart every morning. Gradually as children learn basic time concepts such as weeks and months a

calendar may be placed in their bedroom. They can cross out the days or countdown until special events

such as birthdays, anniversaries or the end of the term. I would like to share few strategies to help

children manage their time: thinking builds in us self confidence and people around us sense our

thoughts and are affected by the aura around us. Positive thinking helps remove in us all negative

thoughts that only result in negative and unhappy moods and action. People around us sense our

thoughts. They are more disposed to us if we are positive, and they dislike and avoid anyone

broadcasting negativity. When the mind is negative, poisons are released in the blood, which cause

more unhappiness and negativity. This leads to failure, frustration and disappointment. The power of

positive thinking is boundless. The Power of Positive Thinking Positive thinking gives us that never

ceasing flow of energy, peace of mind and a feeling that nothing can defeat us. The hard tragedies of life

do not dominate us as positive thinking helps minimize them. To facilitate the successful outcome of

positive thinking we have to change our actions to support that thinking. If we fail to do this we may

land up being our own worst enemy. Keeping in mind the future rewards of positive thinking, starting

the day with positive thinking and counting your blessings will help utilize the power of power of

positive thinking and keep us on the path to 'Success'.

Utilisation of Holidays

Holidays, undoubtedly provide us different kinds of pleasures and pleasant diversions. While holidays

refresh both body and mind and break the monotony of school, it is important to see to it that holidays

are properly utilized. It has been rightly said that,” All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” This is

one of the reasons why schools compulsorily feature holidays in their school calendar. There are many

ways to spend purposeful holidays and this differs from person to person. While planning a holiday, it

becomes essential to spend them wisely and carefully. To cite an example, sightseeing is an innocent and

useful way of spending the holidays. Travelling helps expand the mind and adds knowledge. Students

are greatly benefitted by this. We should be careful not to overstrain our mind and body during the

holidays or we may find ourselves completely fatigued and exhausted when we return to school. On the

other hand, holidays should prepare us for work with greater relish and aptitude. Holidays are well

spent when we return to work with redoubled vigour and energy. Holidays are the best time to learn

new things and think about setting goals for the next academic year to improve and achieve good

grades. Reading books gives a great value to your time and you are going to get a lot out of it. Taking

ample rest and getting good sleep during holidays is also important. Some students can utilize holidays

to improve their handwriting, read more magazines, watch some useful channels on television such as,

B.B.C, Animal Planet, Discovery etc. In short, holidays are the best days to improve yourself in your

weak areas of work. Holidays are days given to improve and rejuvenate yourself. So do plan your

holiday and utilize it to the best of your ability. Happy Summer Holidays!

� Activities & Competitions ( Junior Wing) Co curricular activities can help students to become well-rounded. The ranges of options in

primary schools helps students narrow down their interests and discover their passions.

Cocurriculars provide the opportunity for hands-on application of classroom lessons. Children

who participate in co curricular activities develop a healthy sense of competition yet learn to be

gracious in defeat. Co curricular provide opportunities for children to take initiative and learn

effective leadership skills. They also provide an appropriate outlet for expressing feelings,

helping kids learn to communicate and offering tangible rewards for hard work.

- Sarita Gupta (Junior Wing In –Charge)

1. Paper Collage (April 30, 2015)

As young children explore paint by putting it all over their hands, or create collages with torn paper,

it's noticeable how involved they get in their activities. Children delight in exploring and creating with

art materials. These art experiences help children develop many life skills.

2. Hand Painting Activity (April 13, 2015)

Apart from the usual drawing and colouring techniques, hand-painting can be a joyful experience for

your toddler, allowing them to have more space for creativity and thereby paving their way to create

unique works of art specific to their imagination. Hand-painting can be a rewarding experience, since it

builds colour and shape recognition skills, allowing your child to explore their sense of touch with

different textured materials. It is also great for fine-tuning their motor skills. Using a little imagination

and exploring a range of different methods, you can create amazing artworks with your child. And the

great thing about hand and finger paintings is that they’re always going to be unique, since they’ll

feature your child’s individual fingerprints!

6. Red Day Celebrations

One of the most interesting and perhaps the hardest concepts to teach a child is “colors”. But at the same

time they love anything bright and colorful, isn’t the fact very interesting?

We at Wendy have our own ways to introduce to our little angels to different concepts, so our innovative

team left a long lasting impression of “Red” color, on the little minds by celebrating our Red Colour day

at a grand Scale. Cute faces all dressed in the red colors, had a red colour food in their meals as well.

Activities like Red Ball Racing, Tippi Tippi Tap… further strengthened the red color recognition. The

little ones enjoyed their day to the fullest & got learned their red colour as well.

Summer Camp 2015( 1st May- 15th May )

There is something magical about a summer camp experience. Camp is an independent experience that

shapes one’s character and life — a controlled, safe environment where children and youth are able to

make their own decisions about simple things (what activity they want to do , or what clothes they are

going to wear) and about important things (who they will hang out with . . . who will be their friends).

Camp is a place where kids interact with people face-to-face and, at the same time, learn about

themselves and others around a camp.

Camps give kids a chance to practice being the best they can be. They experience a place designed to

create happy memories and encourage self-expression. They have the opportunity to climb towers, ride

horses, shoot an arrow, and even experience the success of winning the big game! It stays with them

forever. In Wendy our Camp the kids learnt many activities in a fun way like- Art & Craft, Music,

Dance, Taekwondo, Basket Ball, Chess, Carom, Swimming, Skating etc. The camp ended with Lots of

Competition in Dance, Music, Taekwondo and swimming and a party at Phool Bagh and then splash

activity in the swimming pool!!!!!

- Camp Coordinator

Manish Gupta, Father of Sarthak Gupta (Grade I) says………

As parents, our hopes and jobs are to ready our kids to be productive, independent, and

capable people — to prepare them to thrive without us. Camp offers a way for kids to

start developing those skills in the best possible environment. It makes me a bit sad every

time my son runs off to join his cabin group without even a look back . . . and at the same

time, I burst with pride watching him growing into a happy, independent, tolerant, open,

confident, and capable person. I know that we will have plenty to talk about when he gets

home from camp. I also know he will remember the trust and gift of his time at camp, and

it will add to him for the rest of his life.

Trip to Nanital- Ranikhet- Jim Corbett

(5thMay -10th May) - From Trip Coordinator Diary

In today’s world we hardly have the time to take a note of our mind. Rarely do we stop to listen what our body and

mind are saying. We are so preoccupied with our busy lives that we have chosen to become mechanised people,

rather than be the natural human being God had created. For, how many times do we notice the falling leaves in the

winter, how many times do we enjoy the chirping of birds in the autumn and how many times do we enjoy those

wonderful drops of rain trying to kiss us.

We Wendyites went for the trip to Nanital- Ranikhet- Jim Corbett.

Nanital is a beautiful hill station in Himalayas. There are temples also at Nanital. Naina Devi temple is near the

‘Flats’ the large flat ground which is carved out of the lake itself due to landslides in olden times. It is near the

Mallital area. On this side of the lake lies the Mall road. We enjoyed the walk alongside the lake periphery covering

four kilometers in one day. It was very interesting. We visited Hanumangarhi also .The place has two main

markets-the Tibetan Market & the Upper Market. Both the markets are near the famous Naini Devi Temple.

However, keep the “candles” right at the top of your shopping list .These candles are a speciality artifact of Nanital.

You can get them in various colours and shapes, as well as sizes. We stayed at Hotel Himalayas which was very

beautiful. We also visited lover & suicide point, Himalaya Darshan etc.

Ranikhet is a hill station and cantonment town in Almora district in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. It is the home

for the Military Hospital, Kumaon Regiment (KRC) and Naga Regiment and is maintained by the Indian Army. The

Flora and Fauna is extremely beautiful we all were spell bound. We saw the Golf course, visited Kali Mandir, a 100

years old temple.

We also visited Jim Corbett National Park is the oldest national park in India and was established in 1936 as Hailey

National Park to protect the endangered Bengal tiger. We stayed in a beautiful Resort called ‘Hum –Tum Resort

situated on the bank of the river. Students enjoyed in the garden of the resort which was heavily laden with

Mangoes and Lichies. They went to the river then had pool party and night party on dancing floor. Early Morning

went to Gypsy Safari in national park. They saw deers, monkeys, beautiful birds, flowers, trees, had a quick

glimpse of tiger. They went to museum, then Girija temple, did many adventurous sports like rap ling, monkey

jump, water rafting, river crossing etc. To conclude it was a beautiful trip and the students were reluctant to come

back home.
