We need to encourage our children for outdoor play instead of being addicted to battery operated toys which lead to lack of communication skills, physical and mental health. Play develops different domains in a child: 1. Cognitive domain – Improve memory, stimulate growth, academic tasks, emotional growth and building self-confidence. 2. Social domain – Meet new friends, outdoor activity with friends which develops empathy, compassion sharing and verbal nonverbal skills. 3. Physical domain – It develops in reducing stress, injury, depression, fatigue, increases agility, coordination, balance and fine motor development. 4. Emotional domain – The child develops and gains self-confidence, increase self-esteem, develops feel good factor, appraise their strength, abilities, and develops sense of accomplishment. Play allows the child to be healthy, socially acceptable, emotionally balanced and will reduce their aggression to make them more acceptable in their surroundings. Let us create an environment where our children can experience the age old games like lagori, saath pittu, gutte, lattu, gilli danda, dope khel etc. So let us free our children from the bondage of guided technology driven games and explore the fields, grounds. Let them fall, get hurt and grow as stronger individuals. More power to play! REFLECTION SENIOR BUZZ -Grade _VIIE___ From the Principal’’s Desk

The Power of Play
Our children are racing against time in this technology
driven world. The word ‘Play’ is being replaced by
technology, strict schedules, guided and structured
activities and monitored learning. ‘Play’ is fast
disappearing from the life of our young children which is
leading to many growing up challenges.
Play is an integral part of a child’s growing up process which cannot take a back sit instead it
has to be very much a part of the curriculum and deserves equal importance in the child’s
development. Lack of play is turning our children into depressed, hostile and obese. It’s time
we let our children play with openness without being bound by rules, structure and time.
We need to encourage our children for outdoor play instead of being addicted to battery
operated toys which lead to lack of communication skills, physical and mental health.

Academic activities
Nostalgia….Dakia daak laya
Tring.. tring.. the bell of the postman and feverish excitement of rushing to fetch my
letter and open it with shaking hands, the sparkle in the eyes to read what the loved one
has written…… Yes, it turns us nostalgic to remember the good old days when words
were penned down from the bottom of our hearts. Those words were real and not virtual.
The students class 7 of Delhi Public School, Nashik tried to turn the clock back when
they wrote letters to each other expressing beautifully their thoughts. The excitement of
the students during this activity aroused in them an interest for a long forgotten
practice. They wrote the letters enthusiastically, posted them and on receiving the letters
their joy knew no bounds. Their faces showed it all. Such an interesting activity will be
carried in their hearts forever and who knows someday the good old days might return.
Peer teaching for Science and Social science

each other through group discussion. They demonstrated the topic giving various
illustrations and with the help of collage activity.
