STUDENT SPOTLIGHT The gifted and creative student Muhammad Sohaib has written and illustrated his own comic book series, which is an amazing accomplishment. His love of painting and storytelling has allowed him to finish a whole series, drawing readers in with his distinct characters and gripping narratives. Never one to sit back and enjoy himself, he's already started his second comic book series, honing his skills and motivating everyone around him.

CEDAR READER MINDFULLNESS MOMENTS

WE'RE THRILLED TO SUGGEST CATHERINE GILBERT MURDOCK'S THE BOOK OF BOY THIS WEEK. THIS GRIPPING BOOK, WHICH IS SET IN MEDIAEVAL EUROPE, IS ON A YOUNG CHILD WHO SETS OFF ON A MISSION OF SELFDISCOVERY AND ATONEMENT. INTENSELY CAPTIVATING AND RICHLY ATMOSPHERIC, IT COMBINES ADVENTURE WITH SERIOUS THEMES OF BRAVERY AND IDENTITY.

KEEP A DEDICATED NOTEPAD FOR DOODLING, OR YOUR OWN SMALL CREATIVE UNIVERSE. TAKE A PEN AND PAPER BREAK AND LET YOUR CREATIVITY RUN WILD WHENEVER YOUR MIND GETS WORN OUT OR YOU NEED A BREAK FROM STUDYING. DRAW WHATEVER COMES TO MIND, BE IT A FUNNY CARTOON CHARACTER, A SERIES OF SQUIGGLES, OR EVEN A COLLECTION OF ADORABLE LITTLE CREATURES ALL UP IN SUNGLASSES! THE BEST PART? DOODLEING IS ALL ABOUT HAVING FUN AND ALLOWING YOUR THOUGHTS TO ROAM; THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY TO DO IT. YOU MAY DISCOVER THAT DOODLEING FOR A SHORT WHILE HELPS YOU TO DECOMPRESS AND GENERATE FRESH CONCEPTS AND THOUGHTS. FURTHERMORE, LOOKING BACK ON YOUR DOODLING NOTEBOOK CAN MAKE YOU CHUCKLE AND SMILE. SO WHENEVER YOU NEED A MENTAL VACATION, FEEL FREE TO UNLEASH YOUR INNER ARTIST!

ARSHAD NADEEM

LEGENDARY PAKISTANI JAVELIN THROWER ARSHAD NADEEM HAS LEFT HIS IMPRINT ON THE WORLD SCENE WITH HIS EXCEPTIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS. HIS OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT AT THE TOKYO 2020 OLYMPICS, WHEN HE BECAME THE FIRST PAKISTANI ATHLETE TO QUALIFY FOR THE JAVELIN THROW FINALS, WON HIM FAME ON A GLOBAL SCALE. HIS REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT OF WINNING A GOLD MEDAL IN THE 2023 WORLD ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS DEMONSTRATED HIS EXTRAORDINARY TALENT, PERSEVERANCE, AND HARD WORK, AND IT CEMENTED HIS PLACE AS A NATIONAL HERO. PAKISTAN IS PROUD OF ARSHAD'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS, WHICH HAVE ALSO SERVED AS AN INSPIRATION TO THE NATION'S YOUNGER ATHLETES.

Juno lab

OUR LEARNERS RECENTLY ENGAGED IN A HANDS-ON ACTIVITY, DISSECTING A HIBISCUS FLOWER TO EXPLORE AND IDENTIFY ITS VARIOUS PARTS. THIS EXERCISE ALLOWED THEM TO CLOSELY EXAMINE THE FLOWER'S ANATOMY, INCLUDING THE PETALS, STAMEN, AND PISTIL, DEEPENING THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF PLANT BIOLOGY. BY OBSERVING THESE INTRICATE DETAILS UP CLOSE, STUDENTS GAINED A GREATER APPRECIATION FOR THE COMPLEXITY AND BEAUTY OF THE NATURAL WORLD, FOSTERING CURIOSITY AND ENHANCING THEIR CONNECTION TO THE SUBJECT MATTER.
