A Class Apart FLOWERS DAY CELEBRATED AT TRINITY SCHOOL

W

ith the arrival of colder weather, foggy days and laziness are all too common. To break up the monotony, the Primary Wing of Trinity School celebrated Flower Day by making the environment colourful. On August 27, 2022, our students celebrated Flowers Day on the school grounds.

The concept's goal was to delve into the world of flowers. Children wore dresses, accessories, and hats that were creatively embellished with flowers. They were all dressed beautifully.

The activity was not only refreshing due to the bright flowers, but it also assisted students in differentiating between different flowers and their

colours.

The blossoming buds adorned their classrooms with various flowers. Furthermore, the children were encouraged to share whatever they knew about God's amazing gift to mankind. They discussed the various types of flowers, their significance, and their applications.

This is what we mean when we talk about activity-based learning. Simple concepts such as flowers can be taught to children in novel ways that have a longlasting impact on their minds.

Audio-visual learning, concept reinforcement, motor skill development, and fun-learning all occur concurrently through such activities.

Bliss is in earning big And happiness in settling abroad Such were my fantasies Until one day, the motherland called.

In the past, the nucleus of civilization At present, an active mitochondrion, And in the future, a forerunner to many This country has a huge legacy!

I traversed the antique shades of saffron I explored the uniform white I noticed the diverse green And amused at how it all merged.

Having been rich amongst rags And with a vision to achieve everything under the sun, My nation has shown. That it is second to none.

With a great nation comes great citizenship.

Encouraging unity in diversity, Fostering the economy of our dreams, And remembering those immortal souls Shall we live as law-abiding Indians.

And then did I understand, Bliss is in patriotism. And happiness in national duty! Vande Mataram!

Once, he helped the Pandavas when they were fighting a war with their cousins. He always stood beside dharma and only was Arjun’s charioteer. When Arjun decided to not to fight, Krishna helped him regain his confidence and taught him the righteousness of a warrior. This advice was made into a book known as the Gita.

CITY THRASH FOREST 6-0 HAALAND SCORES BACK-TO-BACK HAT TRICKS

E

rling Haaland scored a hat trick for the second straight game as Manchester City thrashed Nottingham Forest 6-0 in the Premier League on Wednesday. All of the Norway striker’s goals came in the first half at Etihad Stadium, before Joao Cancelo scored a fourth and Julian Alvarez added two more - his first goals for City since his offseason arrival from River Plate - in the second half in the champions’ fourth win in five games of their title defense. Haaland’s three goals against Crystal Palace on Saturday came in a 19minute burst in the second half and he did all his damage against Forest in the space of 26 minutes before halftime, taking his record to a leagueleading nine goals.

It was about keeping doing

smashing a rising shot high into the net from outside the area in the 50th minute and City manager Pep Guardiola was again punching the air when Alvarez, making his first start for City, ran onto Riyad Mahrez’s pass and slipped a finish between goalkeeper Dean Henderson’s legs. Alvarez compounded Forest’s misery by firing a shot in off the underside of the crossbar in the 87th at the end of a counterattack. City has scored 19 goals in its five games, the most in the league.

PERFECT START Arsenal has matched its best ever start to a Premier League season after securing a fifth straight win to open the season by beating Aston Villa 2-1.

Gabriel Martinelli’s 77th-minute goal clinched victory at Emirates Stadium after Arsenal was pegged back by conceding a goal straight from a corner by

UNGUARDED NET Haaland outmuscled his marker to poke home a cross from Phil Foden in the 12th minute and then tapped into an unguarded net in the 23rd after Foden was tackled by Neco Williams just as the winger was about to shoot. By that point, Haaland had only had four touches of the ball. His hat-trick goal came in the 38th and again it was from close range when he nodded home from a central position after John Stones headed the ball back across the face of goal. Cancelo scored the best goal of the night,

Tottenham remained unbeaten after a 1-1 draw at West Ham, for whom club-record signing Lucas Paqueta missed a chance to score a late winner on his debut. West Ham manager David Moyes said before kickoff that Paqueta had not so much as passed a ball to his new teammates after only completing his 52 million pound ($61.6 million) switch from Lyon on Monday. With four minutes remaining, Vladimir Coufal

pulled the ball back and Paqueta on as a 67th-minute substitute got in a mix-up with fellow new signing Emerson Palmieri as they left the ball to each other, 10 meters from goal, instead of taking a shot. Moyes fell to his knees on the touchline. An own-goal from Thilo Kehrer gave Tottenham the lead before Tomas Soucek equalized.

Tomas In the other game, Soucek Bournemouth drew 0-0 at home to Wolverhampton, two days after firing manager Scott Parker.

Douglas Luiz, who did the same in an English League Cup match last week, too. That came against the run of play, with Arsenal dominating the game but only having Gabriel Jesus’ 30th-minute goal - his third of the season - to show for it. Liverpool is battling hard to keep up with the fierce pace set by Arsenal and City, needing a goal in the eighth minute of stoppage time by Fábio Carvalho to claim a dramatic 2-1 win over Newcastle. Alexander Isak gave Newcastle the lead in the 38th on his debut following a move from Real Sociedad on Friday for a club-record fee and was denied a second goal by a narrow offside call. Roberto Firmino swept in a finish from Mohamed Salah’s cross to equalize before a penalty-box melee following a corner saw the ball pop up off the shoulder of Salah, and Carvalho a summer signing from Fulham - reacted quickest to smash into the roof of the net.

I feel I have been batting the same way since the last three-four years. We have a good backing from our captain and the team management that whatever the situation is, you go out and express yourself.

Skipper Rohit Sharma started cautiously before clubbing Hong Kong medium-pace bowler Haroon Arshad for two sixes and a four in a 22run third over. Spinner Ehsan Khan slowed the scoring and seamer Ayush Shukla reaped the benefits in the next over as he took down Rohit with a slow off-cutter. He made 21. Kohli walked into loud cheers from a sparse Indian crowd but struggled to play freely against a disciplined bowling attack which kept the runs down. Kohli finally opened up to get a boundary with a straight drive off leg-spinner Mohammad Ghazanfar and soon found some rhythm as he hit three sixes in his 44-ball knock. KL Rahul and Kohli kept the score ticking with singles and twos with occasional boundaries to put on 56 runs before Ghazanfar broke through with the wicket of Rahul (36). Skipper Nizakat Khan fell to a direct hit from Ravindra Jadeja, who then removed Hayat for 41 with his left-arm spin.
