Campus jottings

Oh! So sweet! Look at them scurrying to class with bags that are bigger than them. These are the children who are going to the future citizens of our country and it is the school's responsibility to mould them. Fun and frolic form a part of life without which life becomes dull and sluggish. School life should be memorable and the experiences of a child have an impact on his future. School is his second home. Besides having fun, a child has to show that he can be trusted and responsible enough during the time spent on campus. Assignments, projects, exams are quite enjoyable, if taken in the right sense. Children who detest them should try and take them in their stride.

In a classroom the back-benchers are at an advantage. They do not need a separate lunch or snack break. All they do is chat and giggle, having tid-bits in between classes that most often result in a hilarious scolding.

The day of excursion is a much-awaited one. But the best part is the day before the school picnic. Sports Day and Annual Day are two of our grand events. Children taking part go off for rehearsal and have a gala time while, the others slog in class. Observation of the night sky reveals the splendours of the universe. And extra-curricular activities like dance and music, are encouraged, so that children get an opportunity to reveal their talents and skills. The canteen has delicious food, and the swimming pool helps us relax after a tiring day - the best thing in summer.
