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.

Digital Media Workshop with Aditi Jhunjhunwala

06 August, 2021

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. It was quite an intriguing experience for the students and parents alike and that they enjoyed it thoroughly. 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.

Information on the benefits of fruits was also shared through stories, videos and presentations. It was lovely to see the students snack on fruits throughout the week during the break time and enjoy them too.

Every child looks up to his/her father as a superhero and feels proud in saying My Daddy strongest.

Inhale sabr exhale shukr... Wishing all Eid Mubarak.

14 May, 2021

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. So some of our children prepared a drink named 'Sharbat-e-Khaas' with fruits available at home and relished it with great delight. Another group drew palm imprints on paper and made beautiful patterns on them with henna.

Students chanted the famous lines  Early to bed and early to rise, makes us healthy, wealthy and wise! Children were shown a video which highlighted the significance of different good bacteria in our digestion and also explained the threat that the bad bacteria pose to our health. They were asked to identify the different healthy habits and discuss how those can be easily incorporated in our lives. Health, happiness and peace are few things that money can never buy! Thus, our children were encouraged to appreciate the mental well-being of each other as they made kindness cards. Each child wrote a compliment for a friend to uplift the happiness quotient of the class.


National Science Day

28 February, 2021

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.
