Annual Sports Day

Posted by harishree in Slider Comments Off

September 3, 2016

Hari Shree Vidyalayam celebrated its Annual Sports Day – a day to commemorate Sport and Sportsmanship, on 3^rd September at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. The Primary classes had their session in the morning whereas classes VI to XII had theirs in the afternoon.

It was a spirited competition between the houses – Agni, Vayu, Prithvi and Akash, without losing sight of the spirit of the game and fair play. The march past of the houses was an exercise in coordination and team effort. Sporting events like track and field, shot put, long jump and relay saw the students push their limits and give it their all.

Leading the way – our sports captains, council members and sporting champions

Salute to the Flag

An oath to uphold the spirit of the game

Marching away in unison

The flame of goodwill and harmony to represent the spirit of the games

The teams all ready to begin the events for the day

Serenity, peace and flexibility – class VI yoga demonstration

Finishing line, here we come…

Obstacles are no barrier for us

The Primary Sporting events is on a roll

Winners we all are…

Let’s put our best foot forward

A leap of faith

Overjoyed!

Parents in action….may the best team win!

Ensuring a litter free Sports Day – Our pride, the Green brigade

Krishna Jayanthi Celebrations

August 25, 2016

The presence of Lord Krishna was felt in the campus through the activities held in school as part of the Krishna Jayanthi celebrations. Beautifully painted Krishna’s feet decorated the school corridors from the entrance all the way till the pooja altar in the Vrindavan courtyard. Children painted colourful peacock feathers in their art classes.

The assembly was abuzz with speeches and songs to mark the occasion. Verses from the Bhagavad Gita were also recited. Bringing alive the stories of Krishna’s ‘kreeda’ in Gokulam, Hari Shree conducted its first ever ‘matka’ breaking event for the four houses. This inter house activity was met with great enthusiasm and fervour by the students, teachers, admin staff and akkas and annas.

Peacock feathers, a work of art

Krishna’s eternal message, the Bhagavad Gita

The day after Janmashtami ‘raasleelas’ are performed to remember the childhood memories of Lord Krishna. One such famous act is breaking the’ matka’ or ‘uriyadi’ as it is called in Tamizh. The Child-God Krishna and his friends used to form human pyramids to break pots hung from the ceilings of the neighbourhood houses in Gokulam in order to steal curd and butter.

We follow the same tradition till date; however, the earthen pot is filled with flowers, fruits and prize money. The ‘Matka breaking’ game teaches us team work, unity, co-ordination and to focus in order to achieve our goal.

- MS Pranav of Class IX on the significance of ‘Matka Breaking’

Balance, agility and lots of fun

Perfect timing!

As a school we endeavour to incorporate a balanced curriculum that not only helps the children stay rooted to our culture but also nurtures them to contribute to world harmony by becoming global citizens in the true sense of the term.

Empowering the Akkas and Annas

The Class IX students of Hari Shree Vidyalayam drew inspiration from the country’s cherished Gandhian ideals and decided to base their History/Civics internal assessment on improving the welfare of the school Ayyamas, Akkas and Annas. It was an effort to contribute to the well being of our invaluable support staff while recognizing their contribution towards the school community.

Each section of Class IX was divided into three groups with their own unique agendas.

Group 1 – Promotion of cottage industries

The first group interviewed a group of ayyammas and annas, to understand their hobbies outside school and the nature of the cottage industry they would like to be involved with. Based on their response, students procured material and spent quality time with the Ayyamas and Annas teaching them activities like basket-weaving and painting.

Group 2 – Propagation of health and hygiene

The second group performed a skit on maintaining hygiene. The skit was adapted to simulate scenarios which the ayyammas might face at school and even at home with friends and family. The play was set in Tamil and presented in an appealing and funny way, so that the ayyammas would have no trouble understanding it. It ended with a Tamil animated video depicting reasons why health and hygiene are important.

Group 3 – Teaching Basic Spoken English and etiquette

The third group helped a group of ayyamas and akkas with spoken English, reading, writing and simple etiquette. The group was aware that ayyamas were having trouble reading class names in English and the Roman numerals on the plaques outside the classes. During an interactive session, the students taught Roman numerals and simple English phrases that might come in handy while doing their daily chores. They were also given pointers on etiquette while attending to parents and visitors coming to school.

As Mahatma Gandhi said, “You must be the change you want to see in the world.” This little act of goodwill made an obvious difference, and the smile it brought to faces was unforgettable.
