The children dedicated the day to their mothers and expressed their affection through the medium of art. They depicted their innate feelings by preparing special crafts for their mothers. The creativity and imagination of the students was commendable.
The well-being of humanity, the environment and the functioning of the economy, ultimately depend upon the responsible management of the planet s natural resources. To stimulate awareness of environmental issues the World Environment Day was celebrated on 5th June 2015. The celebration constituted songs and skits by students which highlighted the various means to protect the environment. CLASS ASSEMBLIES Class assemblies form an important part of the school day and aid in the formation of vital links within the school community. They help in training the students to behave well, to respect and appreciate the efforts of others. The class assemblies at Yara International School provide a training platform for both teachers and students to share new ideas about cultures, festivals and current affairs. Childhood is like a mirror, which reflects in after life the images first presented to it.
WORLD CHAMPIONS ROLE OF TEACHERS IN OUR LIFE THE SOLAR SYSTEM The best thing to spend on your children is time. The parent teacher meeting held during the term was an interactive session which proved fruitful to everyone. It provided an insight into the various aspects of the teaching-learning process and offered immediate solutions too. At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child s success is the positive involvement of parents.
CONCLUSION: As children grow and learn, they find joy and satisfaction in working closely with their families towards a common goal. School and home can work together to build their skills and knowledge, reinforce values and develop a strong sense of self- worth.
