Students of Grade 3C conducted an assembly on the theme ‘Happiness’. It was intriguing to watch them recite slokas and explain how important it is for us to keep ourselves and our loved ones happy. The props done by the students looked very appealing.
The skit reminded us of the different ways of bringing happiness to others and ourselves. There were scenes of helping others and showing kindness. The dance brightened up the morning with the song on happiness.

Bulletin boards are a powerful learning tool for classrooms.
Bulletin boards serve a crucial part in any educational setting, whether they're used to display the periodic table, the class calendar, or to welcome back students. They certainly brighten up drab and empty walls, but they're more than just a cheerful wall decoration.
Displays on bulletin boards are imaginative methods to spread knowledge, advance education, highlight student work, and promote a sense of community. They are eye-catching displays that have swiftly established themselves as the center of attention in any classroom.
Keeping this in mind and to explore the creative potential in the young minds of our children across all grades at Ekya Byrathi, the children were encouraged to come up with ideas to fill up the bulletin boards outside their classrooms. The results are mind-blowing & inspiring.
This fun-filled activity witnessed enthusiastic participation by all students. All the students were involved and participated actively in the event.

"If wishes were horses, beggars would ride" is a proverb that implies that, if just wishing could make things happen, then even the poorest of people would have everything they wanted.
While most people would want their dreams and aspirations to materialize with very little effort, however, in the real world this type of fairy tale occurrence is hard to come by. Achievements and dream fulfillment are invariably underpinned by diligent effort and consistent hard work.
This said, I also feel that wishing and dreaming of goals are the first steps in making any aspiration a reality. Unless you visualize something, it becomes difficult to actualize it. High performers, especially in sports, are trained to imagine the result they seek. This helps in motivating them to put in the necessary hard work to make the dream a reality. Similarly, as students we aspire to do well in class, join colleges of repute and make a career where the value we bring to our job is recognized and appreciated. However, none of this is even remotely possible without a foundation being created daily through our hard work and perseverance, year by year and class by class. When we excel in any field, it becomes easy to perform, and this is the result the world sees. But the toil and effort that happens behind the scene to reach that level of excellence remain hidden and unseen.
I take a personal cue from this, with my aspirations and dreams. However, I instinctively find myself drifting towards wishing for success, rather than working towards it. To overcome this I always remind myself that in reality, I don’t have a genie who grants me three wishes like Alladin had. Instead, I have to put in the effort to accomplish my goals, just like everyone else. In my opinion, working relentlessly towards your dreams constitutes the journey that defines life.
So, my interpretation of this proverb would be that just wishing for something and hoping it comes true without putting in the required effort to make it happen, is unrealistic and will not result in success.
Thus, if wishes were horses, they would need to be owned, nourished, fed, exercised, and trained, to ride them towards our goals! '
