Words of Wonder
The ‘Waking’ Poem
Come on! Wake up! Don't delay!
The sun is rising, starting a day. You can see the golden sky, The nature, the trees, and the birds flying high. It is a start, which moved my sleep, Came to an end, all sorrows and weeps. A magical moment, which change the sight
The sun again rose, showing brightness and might. Did you see, the sun with light, How did it break, the last dark night? How did it show, the new way, How to live, How to stay?
Sreehan Paswan, Class III
The Clever Doe
Once upon a time a doe was grazing in the field. A tiger was watching it for a long time. Then suddenly the tiger leaped in front of the doe. The doe was very frightened to see the tiger and began to run. It ran and ran, but the tiger followed it everywhere. While they were passing through a jungle, a lion saw it and wanted to catch it too. So he also ran beside the tiger to catch the doe. Now the doe was in great trouble. After sometime the doe stopped and said, “I am a cursed doe, the curse is that only one can consume me. And whoever eats it, it has to eat it whole. Whoever eats the remaining part will burn into ashes.” The doe knew that they would start fighting because they both wanted to eat the doe. There was a dangerous battle between the lion and the tiger. While they were fighting, the doe escaped. They kept fighting until they were dead and the deer got saved and returned to its herd.

Fighter: Five freedom fighters I like the most
I like all freedom fighters, the heroes amongst them fought for the freedom of our country. But I like five of them in particular.
First, I like Mahatma Gandhi who was a great worshipper of the truth and non-violence movement. He is known for his Non-Cooperation Movement, Civil Disobedience Movement and Quit India Movement. He is also called (The father of the Nation).
Secondly, I like Lokmanya Tilak. He is known as the “FATHER OF INDIA POLITICAL UNREST”. He aroused the Indian people against the cruel fright rule. His well known words are “Swaraj is my birth right and I shall have it.”
Thirdly, I like Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. He was not satisfied with the peaceful Gandhian way. He was in favour of giving a fight to the British ruled to attain independence. He led the Indian National Army against the English. Some of his famous utterings are:
“Delhi Chalo” and “Give me Blood and I will give you freedom”.
Fourthly, I like Jawaharlal Nehru. He belonged to a very rich family, but he gave up all comforts for the sake of freedom of India. He spent the prime of his life in BRITISH JAILS. He rightly became the first PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA after INDEPENDENCE.
Fifthly, I like Lala Lajpat Rai, he is known as the “LION OF PUNJAB”. He was one of the extremists of Trio Lal-Bal-Pal. He opposed the SIMON COMMISSION and said even lost his life having been fatally assaulted by a cruel BRITISH POLICE OFFICER.

Holidays
I love my holidays, In holidays we can learn good ways. In these days we can play football, It is the best time of all. We can also play ball and bat, And if there is sunlight, you can wear a hat. In these days we do our school projects, And we do it with our energy and other objects. In these days sky becomes blue, And then I stick pictures with glue. I love my holidays, The whole school lovingly hays.
- Adrij Mondal, Class III
My Little Brother
I have little brother called Monty, My brother is very naughty. When I do Maths, He comes to me with snacks. When I want to read, He runs to me with his needs. When I draw a deer, He comes to me to play with a teddy bear. When I am in trouble, He runs to me like a cheering bubble . With all of these he loves me more, And I love him more and more

Kinder Joy
Blessed are those Whose mornings start With the little ones smiles And the books that pile Their endless fights
On the silly wrong and rights I love them all, girl or boy They are my world, my kinder joy.

Why Be a Teacher
If you believe it is important to help children and young men and women acquire knowledge, skills and dispositions essential to productive and satisfying lives, then consider being a teacher.
If you burst with passion for your subject and want to share that passion with others, then consider being a teacher.
If you feel joy in seeing students learn to believe in themselves because you help them achieve what you felt was beyond their grasp, then consider being a teacher.
If you recognise that giving yourself to others and developing others can be one of the most significant and fulfilling ways to live your life, then consider being a teacher.

ForgetWhereICameFrom
Imagine I ,fly, fly and fly
Up in the sky , high high and high
Forget I all left behind I am free and free no bars , dismay May or may not return to this Earth clay
I feel , I reach the land of fairies
Come the tales told by ancestors
So dear so pleasing are they Engrossed by the imageries so fine
Forget I came from where.
Sun goes down
Moon appears in a soothing glowI swim over the seas
With the lovely fairies
So much they love me
Forget I come from where

Super Science
Successful Space Docking Mission
Imagine two spacecraft floating high above Earth, carefully drifting toward each other. Scientists at ISRO held their breath as the two vehicles inched closer... and then—CLICK!—they connected perfectly, just like two puzzle pieces snapping together in space! This incredible event, which India managed in December 2024, is called space docking. Only three other countries Russia, the United States, and China have ever done it before! Space docking is essential because it allows astronauts to transfer between spacecraft, refuel, and even build space stations. India is now one step closer to its dream of launching its own space station by 2035 and even landing astronauts on the Moon by 2040!
Discovery of New Species!
In early 2024, researchers announced the discovery of three new frog species Gracixalus patkaiensis, Alcalus fontinalis, and Nidirana noadihing in the KamlangNamdapha landscape of Arunachal Pradesh. This biodiversity hotspot continues to reveal new species year after year, highlighting its rich and unique ecosystems. Scientists believe that continued research in these remote regions could lead to even more exciting findings, offering deeper insights into India’s vast biodiversity. Protecting these ecosystems not only safeguards these new frog species but also ensures a future where nature’s hidden wonders continue to thrive.
