What is Kindness? Kindness is Everything. Kindness is all the different ways both big and small we express care, concern, and consideration for ourselves and those with whom we share the world. Kindness exists as a smile, heartfelt words of encouragement, thoughtful gestures of affection, and compassionate acts of generosity so many of us witness, perform, and receive as we move through life. In a world filled with struggle and pain, kindness is like a deep cleansing breath that rejuvenates and refreshes us with its goodness, and gives us the strength to persevere despite our troubles. Kindness is a reminder of why we’re here and how we can each use our lives to help others. Swarnim International School is celebrating the Kindness Week and we started Day 1 to Day 5.

Students of the primary section of SIS demonstrated this through yoga postures like tree pose (Vrikshasana) and warrior pose (Veer Bhadrasana) in the classroom. The senior students of 6-8 performed the different steps of Suryanamaskara in an elegantly coordinated manner which seemed almost like poetry in motion.

Students and parents showed their inquisitiveness and interest for the series of digital media workshops conducted by Ms. Aditi Jhunjhunwala. They could easily pick up and effectively implement more than the rudimentary aspects and features of the application taught by Aditi Maam.

In fact, students might potentially form a penchant for engaging and developing different mini-projects of their own through the application which would allow their creativity to blossom further and gain valuable technical skills.

Fruits are nature’s gift to mankind. Fruits have always found a way into our daily diet because of their innumerable benefits.

Eid is all about wearing new clothes of kindness which never wear off. It's about putting the aroma of love and spreading it everywhere. Most importantly, it's about wishing for health, happiness and prosperity for all. Our Eid celebration was essentially about praying to the almighty for strength to endure every difficulty and also healing the planet and ushering in a healthier society for all. Pre-Primary students wore white as it's a colour of peace and simplicity. They were shown a short video which taught them the values of sharing and caring. Children made cards and wrote down their messages on them. Food, drinks and henna are some of the essential ingredients of Eid celebration.

Science is everywhere in our lives. It is there in the largest heavenly body and it is there in the smallest atom around us. Science is not just about books but it surrounds us every second of our lives. National Science day is celebrated on the 28th of February every year. It is celebrated because renowned scientist Dr. C.V. Raman discovered the Raman Effect, the process of scattering of light particles by molecules of a medium, on this day in the year 1928. Students of Classes 3 to 7 learnt about Dr. Ramans life and his works. Through his life the students learnt that nature inspired him to find out the secrets of science. They were asked what inspires them to learn science. They made posters and also talked about their favourite topics. It was overwhelming to see the response of the students. We believe that we could inspire them to be critical thinkers and future scientists of our country.
