With the driving question on why bees are disappearing from the ecosystem, Cambridge Grade 1B pledged to work together to preserve the bees. They learnt the life cycle of bees and pollination process. In order to add more value to their cause, the whole class went ahead and planted bee friendly herbal plants in the school campus.

Parents Appreciation Note

It feels nice to be appreciated… Here is a note from one of our parents… proud to have you with us for the last three years.
Dear Teachers/GCIS Team,
I would like to thank you for all the wonderful support given to the overall development of my daughter, Vishnupriya during the past 3 years . GCIS team has initiated many programmes to identify the hidden talents in students. We can also feel noticeable change in Vishnupriya both academically and personally. Last year she got the opportunity for being the Head girl which gave her a platform to explore her leadership qualities. Our school also helped the students to participate in different national level competitions like Olympiad, ACER, Clash Of PI…We appreciate the effort taken by teachers to prepare the practice papers and making the students more confident! My sincere appreciation to all the teachers for their remarkable contribution! Wish you all the best!

An Ode To My Students

The greatest gift I ever got is YOU- my dear students!
You are like budding stars, gleaming upon us
You all are to be treasured!
But never to be measured.
Wonderful memories flood my mind,
As I put my brain to contemplate.
You tell that the termites devoured your math book;
That your vocabulary went down the drain;
That you worked your fingers to the bone on science project;
Just confess that you lost your worksheets…and books TOO!
But that’s not all. Memories flood my mind.
The one whose silly jokes make me convulse with laughter
The one with the best handwriting: the saviour
The one whose sweet smile is so soothing
The one who loves books and excels as a reader- the
storyteller
Who always listens AND who never listens when told to listen
The timid, the unruly, the naughty and the comical one
You make up the classroom…and my life.
Be optimistic, smile relentlessly and keep going
Of course, giving up is not an option for you.
Sure, one day you will live on your own.
You’ll never stop growing.
So on this Children’s Day,
I want you to know that
You own the recipe of euphoria
And YOU are the REASON I show up at school
Every single day!

The little munchkins of Kindergarten were overjoyed to visit the Hal Museum. The Bus journey to the museum was very interesting too. The Kids were amazed to see the aircraft and helicopter models. Many of them kept their teachers busy with all their questions about the various models they saw at the museum. It was indeed a memorable day for our Kindergarteners.
