GRANDPARENT FORUM We are thankful to the grandfather of Sanskriti (P2-D) who agreed to spend quality time with our students and enlightened them with his valuable story telling session. As the grandfather Mr. Sharad Kumar Shrivastav is a writer and writes story books for children. He read out a beautiful self-written story about a little girl and her doll. It was a very interactive session. Students too came forward to tell stories. He also talked about how laziness affects our life negatively and that we should always be enthusiastic and energetic
while doing every activity. It was a meaningful session with the grandparent. It was a great learning experience for our students. Students showed a lot of interest and enthusiasm during the session and couldn t thank nanaji enough for coming and reading out his selfwritten stories. EXCURSION TO QUTUB MINAR 12.9.17 We at Gyan Bharati School focus on overall development of the students by helping them explore different arenas in various fields. While our purpose is essentially to educate, it can also be a fun bonding experience for everyone involved. In an effort to fulfil one such experience of travelling in a group, children of class P 2 were taken for an excursion to Qutub Minar(Mehrauli) on 12.9.2017 ( Tuesday). As a part of pre-activity, before children were taken for
the heritage view they were told about famous Indian historical monuments which are counted as the second tallest minar of India. It was constructed in 1192 by the Qutab-ud-din Aibak and completed later by his one of the successor named Iltutmish. Children were amazed to see the tall building of 73 metres having 379 steps or staircases from just an arm distance. The children were explained about the similar shapes as that of Qutub Minar. When children came back they drew Qutub Minar and also three similar shaped things. The children thoroughly enjoyed fun filled experience with their peers.
