halom Hills International School, with the objective of acquainting the students of Class X with the various forms/ denominations of money, told the children to collect as many denominations of currency notes/coins, and paste them safely in a scrapbook. The students showed great interest in the activity, and collected various types of coins – even coins of 5p and 20p values, which have become a rare sight these days. The children learnt about ‘cheques’ and ‘plastic money’, and how deposits in banks are considered as a form of money.
Pond, pond, my beautiful pond! With so many fish of whom I’m fond! There are yellow ones and red ones but green are so few, They make a pretty picture, oh what a lovely view! A little girl is rowing a boat and singing a song It’s so lovely, the fish swim along! The girl is so happy she says aloud, I wish I could swim and float like the cloud!” Mili Sharma Class: 4, Matrikiran, Sohna Road
