PowerPoint PresentationHave you ever explored your kitchen and
noted the things that are in singular and plural or else observed
the things in your house and jotted down how many are compound
words. What about the idea of conducting a survey about vegetables
grown in summer and winter after a brief conversation with the
vegetable vendor. Quite fascinating !!! Noting down the vehicle
numbers in the parking of your building and segregating them as
even and odd numbers. Seems interesting isn't it? MLS I is uniquely
designed for the age group of 6-10 years.
Children in this age Learn by Doing and they are given ample
opportunities to experience concept building through projects. This
age group follows the Project Based Approach which enhances their
skills and makes them future ready with key aspects like critical
thinking, problem solving, logic and reasoning, analyzing and much
more beyond the four walls. Children apply their knowledge and
understanding through over 300 exciting concept based projects in
this age. We give children an edge through its practical learning
by encouraging them to do Application based Projects on every
concept being learnt. MLS-1 Coordinator:
Ms. Mayuri Bhalara
The MLS II operating system has been customized for an effective
transfer of knowledge within the children of age group of 11-13
years. The curious minds of this age group seek logic and reasoning
in every concept which is taught to them. We follow the Apprentice
Based Approach wherein the curriculum uses models and protagonists
to explain concepts and introduce children to a world of vocations
which awaits them ahead of schooling. These are all linked to real
life projects and are useful especially for children to decide
their area of interest. We carve a well planned strategy to ensure
the children a promising future and a hurdle free path to their
career. These strategies comprise of Value based, skilled and an
analytical approach to every situation. Learning through hands on
experience and walking towards fulfilling their emotional and
intellectual need, the children enjoy this exciting phase of life
through interesting teaching- learning strategies. We steer the
focus of the children towards their destination and also ensure
that their journey is well guided, escorted, interesting and
enjoyable! Although it’s virtual, learning is neither compromised
to four walls nor wrote-learning.
MLS-2 Coordinator: Ms.Seema Khanna
It’s hard to believe but we have finished our first 7 months of
school! I know that our students have been working hard in the
classroom and at home to try their best in this “new normal”.So
here are my reflections on the coronavirus, distance learning, and
what the hell it means for TMS Learning. Students and teachers are
on Zoom,Teams and Google classroom delivering “distance learning.”
Things were changing, week to week, then day to day, then what felt
like minute to minute. Emails, updates, text messages and what not.
Everyone had a different plan. Sign everyone up for Google
classroom. No, just, wait. Pass out this form to the students. Send
only videos. Open book test etc. Things were moving, and they were
moving way too fast. How succesfuly and swiftly we did with our PA
and Term I assessment was comandable, but obvious not without the
help of ever suporting parents & gaurdian. We have to be
understanding of what our kids, educators, and families are going
through. During this pandemic, we must place our most marginalized,
targetted, oppressed, and underserved at the center of our focus,
for once. So with all this in mind, what about learning and
education? As we have started to prepare our staff for this
transition, filled with shared docs, zoom meetings, webinars, and
Google classrooms, and virtual platform.
Coordinator (IX-XII) Mr. Sushil Singh
Learning in a positive way can quarantine all your negative
thoughts in a box which can never come to you again. I Anshi Gandhi
want to tell my experience of learning through virtual classes.
Let’s dive and divide this topic into four parts: What are virtual
classes? Why are virtual classes important? Can we use our virtual
classes for learning? Where can we use our learnings? Let’s talk
about the first, what are virtual classes? It is nothing but school
periods but online. The family of our TMS, means our teachers
decided to conduct school by electronic media through apps. Second,
why are virtual classes important? They are important to keep us
safe and secure. During this COVID – 19 situation, we can’t keep a
step outside. So, to keep us safe and continue the process of
learning, virtual classes are the only source which bring school at
home.Due to COVID – 19, we can’t go outside and can’t attend the
school physically. With the help of virtual classes, our school
learning is in continuation without any interruption. Now let’s
jump to the third one, can we use our virtual learnings? The answer
is yes of course. If someone is stressed or some negative thoughts
appear in their mind so, we can motivate that person like our
teachers do and be friends with them. If the classes were not
initiated online, so would have not been able to get knowledge and
get to know new chapters. So, this has to happen to keep us updated
and won’t be getting any nervous anxiety during the exams. Fourth-
where can we use our learnings? Just say “Hakuna Matata”. Do you
know what hakuna matata means? It means “No worries”. We can use
our learning to achieve our dreams and work for them. These
learnings can show their actual performance when followed in a
positive way. My ultimate message to you is to use your learning
and keep doing new things and stay strong and happy in your
life.
ANSHI GANDHI CLASS VII A
Dear ma'am! I would like to appreciate the school and its teachers.
I like to study in this school because the method of teaching is
very unique. I like the MLS textbooks a lot! I also like the idea
of the apprentice manual which urges us to use whatever we learned
from the chapter practically. This school also focuses on our
physical and mental well-being. The way the school organized
everything during the virtual classes was commendable. I would also
like to appreciate all the teachers as mentioned below:
1. English (Vimla Maam): Highly interactive sessions.

Anushka Agarwal, Class VIII A
I am very thankful to the whole team of TMS including teachers. I
would like to thank the teacher for giving us a nice and
understandable learning system. Every teacher has a different style
of learning like some are on virtual white board and black board
that we can see from the camera. Teachers are doing a great job for
students and every teacher of tms has a spirit that learning should
not stop whether it's active class or virtual class. I would like
to again thank all the teachers for giving the same knowledge which
we should get. 1.Vivek sir is on virtual white board(Physics)
2.Vivek sir is teaching us on black board(Maths) 3.Meenakshi mam is
also teaching us on black board. Meenakshi mams DOL are very
knowledgeable and that helps us for the main part topic which she
will teach us. (Biology) 4.Vimla mam first tells us to do all the
exercises and then we all discuss so we all have a better
understanding and learning.(English) 5.Dipali mam reads the chapter
than tell meaning of each line and then we read the chapter so we

able to learn easily and she finds very nice videos for us.(Hindi)
9.Priyanka mam teaches us very nice practicals that are very
helpful and interesting too.(Computer) Raina Class VIII - A
Healthy competition inspires kids to do their best and become more
inquisitive. These abilities prepare children for future situations
of all kinds.
Knowing the spelling of a word makes the representation of it
sturdy and accessible for fluent reading.
In Spell Bee children learn a stream of words at a time which is a
good memory booster.
In order to enhance the knowledge base of children at their young
age and also to motivate them to develop a keen interest in
learning new words, Spell Bee competition was organized for our
Millennial of Classes I to III through a virtual platform.
Various rounds comprising puzzle, jumbled words , word building,
dictation etc. were conducted through which children enriched their
vocabulary and competitive spirit and also developed self
confidence. The competition gave an enthralling opportunity for the
children to stimulate their cognitive skills and also to gain
competency over vocabulary which is an essential component to excel
at reading and writing.
Our eyes are the windows to the outer world. They are to be given
the greatest care as they are the sources who introduce us to the
surroundings around us. A self defence/safety workshop was held to
introduce the self safety concepts to the students. Since in this
lockdown everybody has accepted the concept of online learning as
the new model of learning, for self safety is equally important to
go ahead without a break. Many important info were shared with the
children regarding how to reduce screen time, avoid playing any
screen games and adjusting the brightness of the screen. The major
highlight of the workshop was the eye and neck exercises that were
introduced to the children where in they can practice after every
class to relax themselves during the break. As a widely accepted
concept, online learning is now a parallel learning along with self
care.
We, at TMS, always believe in making classes more interactive and
allow learners to focus more on practice instead of just theory,
even in a virtual environment too. Today, with the help of the
expedition app, we showed how one can add virtual objects to the
real world and can study it better. It helped our learners to
correlate virtual examples and added gaming elements to support
textbook content.
Learners enjoyed the new experience and also they were motivated to
download it and were explained the whole process. Few learners did
it instantly and also presented their screen and focused their
elements on various objects like table, floor , bed and appreciated
it.
“A picture is a poem without words” - Horace
Art is a multi dimensional approach through our thoughts and
imaginations and when this comes on a surface, it blooms. It's not
limited to be defined as one's talent but all of us are born with
an artistic touch. Our brain works out infinite thoughts and
through the window of our eyes, we bring it to reality on the
paper. To facilitate visual literacy and communication, virtual
Doodle Art festival was celebrated at TMS where learners of class 4
and 5 participated enthusiastically. Doodle art is usually called
scribblings which has now gained huge popularity because of
contrasting ideas put into it. It is made without lifting up the
drawing tool which is fun as well as challenging. They had
different sessions where they learnt doodle art, logo doodle,
phrasal / thoughts doodling, Rangoli with coloured rice, how to
make home made clay and also the basics of self portrait. A demo
session was held to make them aware of the backgrounds, tools used,
presentation etc. Our kids came out with vibrant and awe-striking
art forms. They truly proved it that you show the kids the beauty
in them and they will paint the whole canvas for you.
As TMS, Surat's one of the objectives is to be the torch bearers of
that change which will create the silent evolution to transform the
lives of our students through Education. So, on similar lines,
today ADOLESCENCE AWARENESS - GIRLS EXEMPLARY WEBINAR was conducted
to empower girls of grade VI to VIII with age appropriate and
relevant information, healthy attitudes to enable them to respond
in positive, responsible ways. Our guest of honour was DR. KAJAL
MANGUKIYA - Director of Orkid medlife hospital and is one of the
dedicated gynecologists.
She imparted our students with knowledge about Adolescence
behavior, onset of puberty and related hygiene which was highly
interactive, engaging and impactful which led our budding minds to
pose various questions based on the same. Here are some glimpses of
it......
Great Changes Come with Small Steps (TMS News Reporter)
Humans are considered to be social beings. We humans can't live an
isolated life without communicating with each other. And this
communication is sometimes face to face, sometimes through telecom
or other means of media. People nowadays have a very busy schedule
in their daily lives, they pick up the latest news while having
morning tea/ coffee or while driving. So in this busy world we need
a good reporter for delivering us the updates.
Here is our rising reporter Anshi Gandhi from grade VII A ready
with her latest news for TMS Tantalising Talks. Her enthusiasm,
dedication, way of delivering speech and above all the she proper
and perfect use of technology in making this video is just worth
mentioning.
It is rightly said by Nelson Mandela, ‘Our rich and varied cultural
heritage has a profound power to help build our nation’. The blend
of multiple cultural and traditional diversity, the dignity and
pride of being a citizen of a colourful country, cherishing
festivities, numerous delicacies, alluring attires and where every
happiness is a celebration and what not.! India is known as the
best example of Unity in Diversity where our heritage is not mere
just a model or inheritance of beliefs, they are the assets and
grace of our hearts. The World Heritage day with the theme ‘Shared
Culture, Shared Heritage, Shared Responsibility’ was celebrated
virtually by the TMS family. The virtual celebration displayed
colourful attires, glistening eyes and delightful faces excited to
speak their thoughts out. The students of class 4 & 5 chose the
categories as per their choices out of Depict, Poster making and
Elocution and they did a wonderful presentation by making posters,
talking about different states and their culture, food, attire,
festivals, heritage sites along with beautiful dance performances
on screen. The significance of the celebration is to make our
future generation as well as the present to be aware of the
beautiful collage of assets we have in our country which we should
be always proud of because it is we who are responsible to carry
the pride ahead.

• Celebrating Heritage day is one of the finest ways to encourage
social cohesion. It promotes the awareness about the diversity of
culture heritage and also the relevance of heritage in our way
ahead.
• With an aim to sensitize the children about their rich cultural
heritage, World Heritage day was celebrated at TMS Surat. Children
dressed up in traditional attires gave a short presentation about
customs and traditions related to the region they are
representing.
• They also prepared a popular dish of that region.
• The teachers motivated and advised the students to preserve and
conserve the cultural heritage.
• In spite of the restricted availability of the resources our
children exhibited great zeal and enthusiasm which gently made us
recall the famous proverb
• "Where there is a will there is s way"
• Thus the event enabled the students to experience the varied
flavour of the country's rich cultural legacy and also to embrace
the beauty of diverse and unique cultures.
Man is a social being.In order to live in the society it is our
duty to provide help to each other and ensure that everyone lead a
serene life.Based on this fact students of Class II performed a
role play on community helpers wherein they portrayed the role of
different community helpers like gardener, blacksmith, carpenter.
Thus the students understood the valuable service rendered by our
community helpers
BHARAT DESH KI SHAAN HAI HINDI , HUM SAB KI PEHCHAN HAI HINDI.
Taking the above slogan a little too seriously, our children of
Class I at The Millennium School Surat, very proudly displayed an
amazing understanding of the Hindi language as they made creative
expressions on the paper of the various single varnas and gradually
progressed towards Hindi words which they learnt by joining the
varnas. The children showed control over the language with good
reading , speaking and writing skills and also the children
projected a good understanding of the use of matras. The
wonderfully decorated charts also gave an insight into the artist
hidden in every child as the children presented their learning
outcomes in a very creative manner.
"Living beings need plants to live-they consume them for their
existence."
Learners of Grade-II at TMS were made aware of the significance of
plants in our life through a germination activity wherein they
planted seeds in the soil, kept them in different conditions,
watered them and monitored the progress each day. They were
fascinated to see the tiny plant evolving out of the seed they have
planted and learnt how the hard seed coat gives the baby plant
protection until the favourable conditions are available to
grow.
The activity provided the children with an amazing science lesson
that the food we eat actually begins its journey from the
ground.
Activity- based learning plays a vital role in primary education as
it encourages the kids to get physically and mentally involved in
the learning process.
In order to blend creativity with the learning process, students of
Class II made a Verb Tree by displaying the different words on it
in a creative way. Various household materials and craft papers
were used by the children.
Along with reinforcing the topic the activity equipped the kids
with an amazing platform to showcase their creativity.
In the minds of our young readers, reading generates curiosity and
creates a hunger to gain more knowledge.This in turn helps the
child to progress in studies, not only in English language but also
in other subjects. Reading sessions are conducted to enhance
children’s vocabulary skills.
Circle Time is used mainly to
encourages unity, respect and working
together towards a shared vision.
During the circle time, teacher starts the
day with prayer/ Shloka chanting along
with the thought of the day. Teacher
motivates students to discuss any one
moral value of life every day. Various
days celebration like Yoga day,
Mother’s day International girl child day,
children’s day etc are also conducted
during circle time.
‘Learning is fun’. The children always learn by doing the practical
work. They had learnt different types of nouns by making the cake
in the kitchen. The cooking became passion for children while
learning nouns. They came to know about countable and uncountable
nouns with the help of ingredients which are required for making
cake.
They baked cake under their mothers ‘guidance. They enjoyed a lot
while doing this activity and shared their experience in the class.
It became the innovative way of learning for them.
BY ARTI THAKAR (English Teacher)
Allow yourself to be bored and see it as something good. Embrace
boredom and your mind will occupy itself. You could end up painting
— or writing — a masterpiece.
The above lines are correctly said. The time when almost the entire
world was struggling to handle the situation of the pandemic and
lockdown, the little artists of TMS were busy filling colors to
their imaginations. The lockdown was unable to lock their creative
minds, which were wide open to think differently. Their creativity
and artistic touch have no boundaries. Here are some glimpses of
the beautiful art pieces made by the students of class VII who are
not only amazing artists but also know how to bring their
imaginations to life.
BY PARAMITA (English Teacher)
"Children are not to be molded, they are the people to be unfolded"
Learning has always been a part of our lives ever since we started
exploring the world, be it at home or school. Learning doesn't need
a classroom and when play becomes a part of the process, it's
something that is imprinted forever. It is not only about
encouraging kids to learn, it's more about encouraging them to be
mentally and physically involved in the learning processes. Here is
a glimpse of a fun activity of grade V , during the online classes
where learners had to enact and grab the items of different sports
they love and household items along with dance actions to make them
understand the skeletal and muscular system of our body. They were
introduced to different types of the bones they have in the body
and also how the bone and the muscle coordination help them to
fetch and hold things along with performing different body
actions.
BY TANYA (English & EVS Teacher)

(2020-21) - - ‘ ’ ‘- /’
Virtual Parent-Teacher Meets (PTMs) are organized where, the
teachers discuss the child's strengths, concerns, action plans and
future goals, with the parents, which are then monitored by the
respective teacher and coordinator. During virtual PTMs, teachers
interact/connect with 5 parents each day. Parents-Teacher
conferences play a vital and integral role in a child's all round
development. A well- planned and positive involvement of both
teacher and parents in a child' educational journey makes a huge
difference in bringing out the best of a learner's physical, mental
and emotional advancement. He/ she can come out of the cocoon to
become beautiful like a butterfly. Though the educational scenario
is wholly on a new platform during this academic year 2020-21, we
have not missed a single chance to keep in touch with our parents
at certain intervals through virtual meets. We organise slot wise
virtual PTMs where the teachers interact with five parents each day
and share our views , queries, concerns, strengths, action plans
and our future goals for the further development of the learners to
the fullest. These visions are then taken care of by the concerned
teacher and the respective coordinator. This united efforts and
collaborative hard work will surely make the Millennials shine in
near future.
The Mentorship program is a beautiful initiative to socialize and
involve children with their mentors so that the learning process
can be facilitated with knowledge, skills and for a bigger aim of
nurturing self sufficiency to set goals and achieve them.
Debates are an important part of all the school years because
school is the best platform to be provided to the kids to frame
their ideas and present publicly. The school years are the
foundational years where such kind of formal talks are to be taught
to the children which helps to inculcate the values and concepts of
research, analysis, exploration and investigation. However the data
collection is an important part but your voice and the ability to
catch hold the attention of the audience is the major role you
play.
An introductory formal talking session was held between the
teachers and the students where they were introduced to different
types of debates and the key points to remember. The highlight of
the debate was the catchy and innovative topics such as pros and
cons of social media, animal cloning, fast food chains, preferences
of story books of cartoons, zoos or wildlife parks, money and
talent vs luck etc where in the learners presented their
perspective with confidence. It is always a learning experience to
hold and attend such intellectual sessions and this is how we
create lifelong learners.
“To be a champion, compete; to be a great champion, compete with
the best; but to be the greatest champion, compete with yourself.”
Matshona Dhliwayo Learning can be anywhere anytime. Our TMS
Students are the best examples of that. They have participated in
many online competitions among them one was “Spin A Yarn “which was
the best example of their creativity and enthusiasm. TMS Surat
stars were divided into groups and they have depicted a story in
the form of pictures or acting. The children have also dressed
according to their story. The story was selected by themselves and
it was narrated by them on virtual platform one by one. It was
truly amazing experience for both teachers and students.The
competitive nature of children was really appreciable. It helped
children to build up their speaking ability and fluency in
English.According to the name of competition how the yarn will be
converted to cloth slowly one by one , the same way the children
have continued the story one by one. They have provided the best
example of their ability to do something in this pandemic situation
and hope it will be carried on.
"Hai jis se desh ki shaan, meri Hindi bhasha hai mahaan". With this
slogan we at Millennium School Surat celebrated the Hindi Diwas
Programme on the virtual platform on 14th September 2020. Our
children from Grade I to Grade V reinforced the importance and
beauty of Hindi language as they celebrated Hindi Divas with full
energy, enthusiasm and vigor. It was interesting to hear our little
ones recite poems of great Hindi poets like Shri Harivansh Rai
Bachan. Forceful speeches and lovely performances ranging from
historical characters like Rani Laxmibai, Mahatma Gandhiji to an
Indian jawan pouring out his feelings for his nation further
enhanced the celebration. Beautiful posters of Hindi Divas adorned
the backdrop when the children performed. This celebration in
itself is a matter of great pride for us and it is proof enough
that Hindi is and will always remain an important language and in
it's advancement lies our progress. Jai Hind.
That’s the thing about the books. They let you travel without
moving your feet’ Books have always been an eternal part of our
lives. They let us dive through tides of beautiful imagination,
adding up to our vocabulary and contents to our memory lanes.
They are the treasure of endless knowledge, stories and
information. Make them your best friends because they are going to
boost your ideas and thought process and make you smarter
everyday.
15th August, Independence day was the day which marked the
beginning of the new era for our multicultural, multilingual land
and brought freedom of living. It was a joyful breeze throughout
when the national leaders took the nation chores in their hands.
When our country which is the perfect epitome of Unity in
Diversity, was gearing up for the 74th Independence day
celebration, keeping to the constraints of the present situation in
mind, TMS went on for a virtual celebration because the zeal of
innate patriotism and love for our Hindustan seeks no boundaries.
To ensure the enthusiasm and the pride of celebrating our nation's
freedom, various activities like poster making, slogans, speech,
preparing tricolour dishes, PPT and video presentations and
enacting freedom fighters were held live alongwith the National
Anthem. In this pandemic without holding any limitations in our
hearts, the live session exhibited dutiful citizens who were
costumed in tricolour which is the symbol of our freedom, courage,
peace and unity. The students and the teachers were high spirited
and expressed their fondness for our motherland because this land
of Himalayas, pilgrimage, culture and diversity will always be our
pride and our first love. Jai Hind, Jai Bharat.
Students of TMS Surat celebrated Independence Day to promote
nationalism and patriotism towards the nation. It is not only the
day to remember the sacrifice of our freedom fighters which serves
as a beacon of light for the development of our country but also
time to show our gratitude towards their contribution towards our
nation.
Our children prepared a special assembly, sang rhythmic patriotic
songs and made wonderful posters to exhibit and respect their love
towards our motherland.
Children spoke confidently on the topic - “My Contribution to my
Nation". Wherein children urged the need to respect the
contributions of our senior citizens to the society by obeying them
and taking good care of them.
They also emphasized on the three R's reduce,reuse,recycle to make
our country pollution free. They propagated the slogan, “I will
follow the 3 R's - Reduce , Reuse and Recycle to save our
environment”
They also promised themselves to set their hearts to make India the
land of opportunities, growth, and prosperity with their words,
deeds, and acts. They would contribute to India by doing any social
service that can enhance the development and progress of India. It
was overwhelming and heartening to hear our children discuss their
ideas on conservation of trees, water , electricity and maintaining
cleanliness in the country. Thus the celebration en kindled the
zeal of patriotism in the minds of children and they were able to
uplift the sense of human excellence and enjoy the spirit of
freedom.
If you have to put someone on a pedestal, put teachers. They are
society’s heroes. – Guy Kawasaki Amidst the lockdown, not been able
to see their idols and role models physically, how could have the
children missed celebrating the day dedicated to the communicators
across generations and culture, the compassionate hearts that are
responsible for shaping the future of our nation, The Teachers!
They are the ones who push the children to their limits and bring
out the best creativity from them. Be it shaping the ideas and
opinions, appreciation, providing guidance, inspiration, motivating
to keep their academic goals on track, teachers cum educators have
always been there with the commencement of the beautiful journey at
every stage a child goes through during his/her education. From
being patient and passionate for their work, instead of being a
teacher they have always been second parents to the children. It is
truly said that if there were no teachers, all other professions
would not exist because they are our inspiration to dream big and
thrive to conquer the world. To greet their gurus, the students of
Grade 4 to 8, hosted a surprise virtual celebration full of love
and giggles where they presented beautiful poems, messages, dance
performances, art and craft work to express their fondness for
their loving educators. They exhibited a great example of teamwork
working as anchors, artists, editors and performers. The students
left no stone unturned as they made every bit feel special and
nothing could have been a better eye pleaser than seeing them
showering warmth and joy towards their lockdown saviours and
evergreen heroes of the society because it is always the teacher
who creates a society of education on the foundation of dedication
and willingness. And that’s what keeps us flourishing throughout
our lives.
By Students of Class VIII
Father is a child's first superhero. The heart of a father is the
masterpiece of nature. He adds beauty to our life which no one else
can. He does everything to bring a smile on the face of his child.
In order to honor fatherhood and the influence of fathers in
society. Father's day was celebrated with great excitement at TMS
Surat (Class I -II).
Children made marvelous cards, badges and wrote wonderful messages
on it to portray their love for their fathers.
Teachers instilled the value of respect and responsibility in
children and made this a very special day for fathers
"IT TAKES SOMEONE BRAVE TO BE A MOTHER, SOMEONE STRONG TO RAISE A
CHILD AND SOMEONE SPECIAL TO LOVE SOMEONE MORE THAN HERSELF" To
cherish and to celebrate this Mother's Day, our enthusiastic
students have showcased their creativity by making cards, poems and
a much more for their mothers.. "AN ENTHUSIASTIC HEART FIND
OPPORTUNITIES EVERYWHERE" This pandemic situation has not stopped
the excitement of students to show their love towards motherhood,
care, love and affection of their mothers this Mother's Day.
“Heroes are made in the hour of defeat. Success is, therefore, well
described as a series of glorious defeats.” 2nd October, 1869 was
the day when our nation got its precious jewel in the name of
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. He is not only the father of nation but
also was an epitope of patience, equality and bravery. His
philosophies of ahimsa, truth, bravery, untouchability and equality
have been prevailing all around the nation and that is why we take
pride in celebrating the day as Gandhi jayanti, the day of Mahatma.
He was a simple man with vast ideas. Although known and respected
as the biggest contributor in the freedom of our country but he was
also a very good writer and nominated five times for Nobel peace
prize. To keep his philosophies glorified and to spread the message
all around by our younger generation, a virtual celebration was
held at TMS where a special assembly was arranged by students of
grade IV to VIII. Bapu's memories were cherished by singing
beautiful prayer Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram, talking about his
philosophies, his contribution to our country, presenting posters
and how he became Bapu of our nation. GREAT CHANGES COME WITH SMALL
STEP (CRITICAL THINKERS) If there was a 4th monkey out of
Gandhiji's 3 famous monkeys, what would it depict? An interesting
task was taken over by all the children was to contribute a 4th
monkeys to the group of three monkeys of bapu and shared their
beautiful views as if there would have been the 4th monkey, what
message it would have given. It was wonderful listening to the
children as they presented the fourth monkey's messages as
equality, honesty, bravery, education, security, Liberty, unity,
etc. Here's a glimpse of the day.
• Gandhi Jayanti is a national holiday in India
celebrated on 2nd October. This day is
celebrated in the honor of the birthday of the
Father of the nation, Mohandas Karamchand
Gandhi, popularly known as Mahatma Gandhi
or Bapuji. Internationally this day is celebrated
as the International Day of Non-Violence as
Gandhiji was the preacher of non-violence. He
is a symbol of peace and truth. Our students at
TMS remember Gandhi's ideology and paid
homage to him through poem,song.elocution
and storytelling.
"The more you celebrate your life the more you have in your life to
celebrate" No matter what the surroundings are, adding colours and
rhythm to every page of your life brings up a new smile. Although
the lockdown has boundaries to physically enjoy festivities but TMS
family is always prepared to shimmer with fun, frolic and
excitement. To honour goddess Durga, the feminine form of divinity,
her beautiful nine forms and nine nights festivity, a virtual garba
celebration was held from RTF to class XII. The blend of colours,
attires, love for the festival and energy with a positive flow were
enlightening for everyone who joined the virtual celebration.
The event started with a beautiful prayer offering to Maa Durga and
further was followed by the garba tunes and steps that jiggled our

physical celebration. Take a look at the glimpses of wonderful
performances which will fill your heart with prosperity and
happiness.
