THEATRIX

Blue Bells on Stage

Theatre is an influential learning in students' lives. Creativity can flourish, academics can improve, and means of self-expression can be developed. It is important to have mandatory theatre sessions in every esteemed Educational institute because when a student participates in these kinds of co-curricular activities, he learns what a class room teaching can't help. Keeping the same in the mind, recently Brahm Dutt Blue Bells Public School organized THEATRIX, an Inter-house Theatre Fest. Four Hindi Classical and Four Shakespearean Plays were showcased to make students feel and cherish the essence of Literature to the fullest. The performance of the students mesmerized the audience and it was really a Herculean task for the esteemed panel of judges to choose the best of the best. Finally on the basis of Creativity, Presentation, Dialogue delivery, Expressions and Fluency ‘Sarojini Naidu House’ was declared as the winner. While addressing the gathering Deputy Director, Academic development and Innovation, Blue Bells Group of Schools Ms.Soumya Gulati lauded the efforts of the students and teachers and gave valuable tips to make the event more relevant and engaging.

AWARENESS CAMPAIGN ON DENGUE PREVENTION

Special Assemblies By Peer Educators

“Awareness is the key to good health.”

At Blue Bells we believe that children can surely make a difference to the society.  In order to do so, they just need to be empowered with the right information and awareness regarding different issues prevalent in the society.  With the aim of sensitizing students with the ways to combat the deadly disease Dengue, special assemblies were held for students of classes III- XII. These sessions were  conducted as a part of the Peer Educator Programme, under the aegis of the Health & Wellness Programme of the school spearheaded by Dr. Alka Saxena, Deputy Director (Health  & Wellness), Blue Bells Group of Schools.

The assembly for primary wing students was held on July 17, 2019 in which they were shown an animated video on Dengue. The video highlighted the causes and symptoms of the disease along with some ways to prevent it. The assemblies for classes IX- XII and VI- VIII were held on July 16, 2019 and July 23,2019 respectively.

Information regarding the prevention of the disease, the breeding condition of the mosquitoes and steps that could be taken to reduce the risk of acquiring the disease were shared with the help of a power point presentation.

At the end of all these sessions, a quiz was conducted to check the understanding of the students about the disease. Students responded very well and showcased sound understanding of the content.

The noteworthy feature of the assembly was that the whole programme was presented by the Health & Wellness Ambassador from class XII, Peer Mentor from class XI and Peer Educators from classes IX-X, under the guidance of the Health & Wellness Team.

Habit of Gaming

No one is immune from addiction; it afflicts people of all ages, races, classes and profession.”

There is no denying in the fact that excessive Internet use can lead to the development of a behavioural addiction. Internet addiction is being considered as a serious threat to the mental health. The excessive use of the Internet has been linked to a variety of negative psychosocial consequences, like decrease in moral values, lack of self-control and emotional desensitization.

Keeping the same concern in consideration, the Cyber Congress Team of Brahm Dutt Blue Bells Public School conducted a Debate on ‘Habit of Gaming’ for the classes IX to XII, on May 21, 2019. The students participated actively with a great dynamism and it was delightful to see the enthusiasm and zeal of the students resulting in the healthy discussion. The students concluded that gaming helps in team building, problem solving, improves brain speed, multitasking and social skills among students. Also they agreed to the fact that anything which exceeds its limit is always proven fatal to the humanity and gaming is no exception.

The debate was concluded with the symptoms and suggestion to remain safe from addiction. The students suggested that to help the addicted students, we should not be judgemental and try to make them realize the importance of Time Management. All in all, it was a well organised and thoughtful activity which served its purpose to the fullest.

Gadgets and Games-My Delight

Technology brings excitement; it helps look into the future, and makes us brave enough to try to shape it. It has been making our lives easier in many ways, but at the same time, the exposure of students to games and gadgets at an early age is affecting them. Games and gadgets are a source of delight among children. They are changing the way the children live, influencing the way they behave and altering the way they think.

At Blue Bells, we understand that a child’s healthy development involves social interaction, creative imaginative play and an engagement with the real, natural world. So, it becomes imperative to gauge how much involved our children are with games and gadgets. Keeping this in mind, a self assessment exercise on ‘Gadgets and Games-My Delight’ was conducted for the students of classes III-V. Students attempted a variety of questions about their involvement with gadgets and games. The activity helped the teachers to know more about their students and make an action plan to bring awareness among the students.
