Tiny Tots of Zebar Pre-Primary celebrate Sports Day

In recognition of the importance of sports in a child’s life, Zebar School for Children celebrated its Annual Sports Day for children of Junior KG and Playgroup.

The day began with the declaration of the meet, marking the commencement of the ceremony, followed by the lighting of the torch. It was a beautiful sight to behold on a cold winter morning as the tiny tots entertained the audience with a spectacular pyramid and dumbbell show. The children participated in large numbers in engaging and innovative races like Animal Race, Huddle Race, Sack Race, Lemon Spoon Race, Potato Collecting Race, Popcorn Race, Star Plucking Race and Carrot Collecting Race. In the end, children from Junior KG enthralled the audience with their spectacular dance performance on ‘Give me freedom, Give me fire’.

Students of VII A held an assembly on the birth anniversary of Sardar  Vallabhbhai  Patel, the chief architect of modern India. The assembly commenced with a prayer which was followed by the thought of the day. Students performed a skit to highlight his contribution in unifying the country at the time of independence. It also provided an in-depth understanding of the vision, tact, diplomacy and pragmatic approach of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel who integrated 562 princely states with the Union of India and prevented Balkanisation of the newly independent country. The assembly concluded with the National Anthem.

Festive season fills our lives with new positivity, and so does Diwali. Art and Craft diwali activities at Zebar were carried out for the students of grades 7,8 and 9. Students learnt to make beautiful gifting boxes with paper, beautiful lampshades for Diwali, and wall hangings. Students created beautiful boxes and decorated them using stickers, flowers, and accessories. The paper lamps were decorated with colourful stripes, and the wall hangings were made using old recycled items. The students took home the craft items which they had created to decorate their homes for the festival. The students finally left for the Diwali vacation wishing each other, “A Happy and Prosperous Diwali.”

The Annual Science fair of the Middle and Secondary students focussed on preparing a new generation of innovators. On entering the venue, one could feel the pulse and magnitude of the event. The entire campus was abuzz with energy and admiration.

Besides the working models of respiratory systems, circulatory systems and hydraulic tower bridge, the power points prepared by students demonstrated a reasonable degree of innovation and research. Robotics ruled the Science fair this year as one could see various models based on this concept. Students presented a variety of projects including intelligent Robot, Electric cars and Robots, colour Sorter Robot.

The other highlights of the Exhibition were working models on Solar Panels, Solar Mobile charger, the future colony of Mars, Vacuum cleaner and Hydroelectricity dam.

This Exhibition made the younger generation realise the interdependence of science, technology and growth.

To make our students passionate and empathetic towards those who are disadvantaged and in distress, students of grade 9 C visited the RJ Trivedi Suvarna Mandir Trust. The students were accompanied by the teachers and the Academic Advisor of the school Ms. Radhika Iyer. Zebarites carried thoughtful gifts of fruits and biscuits for the inmates of the old age home. Ms. Radhika Iyer gifted shawls to all the inmates.
Zebarites interacted with the Grandpas and Grandmas of the old age home. Some students played Garba while others sat and listened to their stories. This visit gave a deep insight into the students to some of the bitter and disillusioned realities of life, which turned out to be an eye-opener for all. Students averred on their way back to be always with their parents through thick and thin.
