27th November 2015 - Annual Athletic Meet at SRWS
“All work and no play make Jack a dull boy”. This proverb highlights the importance of sports in our life. Participation in games and sports develops a feeling of discipline and sportsman spirit among students. The students learn to accept both victory and defeat with grace. With this thought, S R World School celebrated the Annual Athletic Meet on 27th November 2015. The athletic meet commenced with the oath taking ceremony. This instilled a feeling of camaraderie among the students. The highlights of the day were the colorful performances and fun filled track events by the students. There was significant excitement in the air.
The tiny tots of Pre School presented a musical drill on the beautiful song ‘A beautiful day’. The little ones of Pre-Primary presented a zumba (dance & aerobic workout) which made us all groove over the beats. The students of classes II and III presented a spectacular Yoga performance. Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual discipline which originated in India centuries ago. One of the beauties of the physical practice of yoga is that it supports and sustains us no matter how old or young, fit or frail. The Daisies and Daffodils of class I showed us some great taekwondo techniques. It is indeed important to train our children in such self defence techniques. In this competitive world, many people find it hard to dedicate time for physical exercises. The students of class IV and V showcased an easy method of maintaining a perfect figure through dance aerobics. Watching the students in perfect synchronization was a treat to the eye.
The sporting events included 35m sprint race, house relay race, fun races such as buddy race, candy race, jungle race and various other races. The participants exhibited tremendous amount of zeal and fervour to reach the finish line amid cheers from their friends and teachers. After the completion of the athletic events, the proud winners were honoured by our respected Headmistress, Mrs. Sudha Sadangi with gold, silver and bronze medals. The little sports stars with shining bright faces flaunted their medals and gained appreciation and thunderous applause from one and all.

24th November 2015 – Special Assembly on Guru Nanak Jayanti
“Before becoming a Muslim, a Sikh, a Hindu or a Christian, let’s become a human first.”
- Guru Nanak DevJi
Keeping in view the secular ethos of the school, S R World School celebrated the festival of Guru Nanak Jayanti. Popularly known as Gurupurab, Guru Nanak Jayanti marks the birth anniversary of Sri Guru Nanak DevJi, the founder of Sikhism and the first Guru of the Sikhs. This is one of the most sacred festivals in Sikhism. Apart from Sikhs, Hindus and other followers of Guru Nanak's philosophy also celebrate this festival.
A special assembly was conducted by the tiny tots of Class Pinocchio to mark the occasion and bring home the relevance of the festival to our young generation. The students sang hymns of praise to God and showcased the community lunch, known as ‘Langar’, which is offered to all the people at the Gurudwara Sahib on Guru Nanak Jayanti.
Serenity and calmness floated in the air with the beautiful humming of the shabads. It paved the way for a very fruitful and productive day for all. The festival was celebrated by all the students with great pride and respect.

TUX TYPE ACTIVITY - 20th November 2015
Computer science is an integral part of our lives, shaping virtually everything from the objects around us to the ways in which we communicate, travel, work and play. Having good typing skills is the first step to a learner’s success.
Keyboarding is a motor skill. It is a matter of training fingers to respond correctly and quickly to press the correct key. Our students are expected to have their hands on home row keys, to use the proper finger for each letter, to have their wrists flat and their thumbs on the space bar. And they are expected to know where the keys are, without looking, with practice. Speed is not what is most important. Most important is correct technique. With correct keying, speed will come automatically with time and use, and accuracy will follow.
Teaching children the correct methods of typing while they are young is an important step to ensuring their future success. Keeping this in mind, students of SRWS are given frequent practice and guidance to improve their key typing skills using various softwares one of which is Tux Typing. It is a free program specifically designed for young children. Learning is done through lots of little games starring Tux - the penguin mascot of Linux. Several levels are available for students. A Tux Typing activity was carried out on 20th November 2015 in SRWS and students of classes I to V took keen interest and participated with great zeal and enthusiasm.

An occasion to celebrate Victory over defeat, Light over darkness, Awareness over ignorance…… An occasion to celebrate Life…. May this auspicious occasion light up everyone’s life with happiness, joy and peace.
Diwali, or Deepawali, gets its name from the row of lamps (or deep) that people light in and outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that protects us from spiritual darkness.
The celebration of the festival of lights came alive at S R World School on the 9th of November in the form of a special assembly presented by the tiny tots of Peter Pan.

CELEBRATING VICTORY OF GOOD OVER EVIL
“A time for celebration, A time for victory of good over bad, A time when world sees the example of power of good, Let us continue the same true spirit.”
Keeping the festive spirit alive, Dussehra was celebrated at SRWS in the form of special assemblies conducted by the little students of Class Pre-primary. The basic idea behind such celebrations was not only to familiarize the students with the mythological epics but also to nurture the intrinsic qualities of the students and remove stage fright from their minds.
The students enacted the ‘Ramayana’, glorifying Lord Rama, his valour and righteousness even in difficult times and the battle with Ravana making the audience mesmerized.
Class Pearl showcased the theme of Navratri which means ‘nine nights’ in Sanskrit. The little wonders also depicted the nine forms of Goddess Shakti and staged a beautiful dance performance glorifying the deity.
Class Ruby enchanted everyone present by enacting the Ram Katha song of Luv and Kush – the twin brothers and sons of Rama and Sita, who had left everyone in Lord Rama’s court speechless as they sang the life story of Lord Rama and Sita.
The episode of Sita Haran was wonderfully presented by Class Emerald. The little ones looked adorable as they depicted how Sita, in awe of the golden deer, requested Lord Rama to go after it and how in the absence of both brothers, Ravana, disguised as a hermit, abducted Sita.
Class Sapphire concluded by showcasing the slaying of Ravana, the Ram-Ravan yudh and Rama's coronation with a message that good wins over evil. These mesmerizing performances were witnessed by a spellbound audience from 16th to 20th October.
