‘You don’t have to be a mathematician to have feel for numbers’
To commemorate the Birth Anniversary of the great Indian mathematician, Sir S. Ramanujan, a Math Carnival, ‘Brain-O-Mathelatics’ was organized at Blue Bells Preparatory School.
Dr. Saroj Suman Gulati, Founder Director, Blue Bells Group of Schools graced the occasion and interacted with the students. She was all praise for the students, staff and parents for their collaborative efforts in putting up the gala event.
As part of the Back to School Series, an initiative of Madam Soumya Gulati, Deputy Director, Academic Development and Innovation, Blue Bells Group of Schools, the carnival aimed to give a platform to our kids, to showcase their mathematical skills through games and fun activities.
Mathematics is nothing less than a game, a game that polishes intelligence and boosts concentration. Students of Grades I and II and their parents had their choice of more than a dozen fun and interactive math games and activities that were thoughtfully planned and were spread throughout the brightly decorated grounds and run by the students. Students and parents stopped to capture a memory with Santa at the Selfie Station.
The excitement wasn’t limited to just the games. Throughout the day, excited crowds could be found enjoying all the extra fun at the Creative Corner, Sports Corner and the Food Corner. The young Blue Bellians enjoyed the day thoroughly even while performing on stage, singing, reciting poems and conducting a quiz for the audience.
The little perfect Master chefs enjoyed serving snacks that were prepared by them. Christmas is the best time to spread the festive cheer and experience the joy of giving. The amount received on every sale of the delicious snacks, went towards a noble cause of supporting an NGO.
As part of the Back-to- School Series, a Gallery Walk was also organized for parents to witness the progression of the themes-‘Manipulating Materials’ for Grade II and ‘Landforms’, for Grade I. Explanation of theme boards was done so confidently by the students themselves and the experiments on water were testimony to the fact that students enjoy hands on activities.
The Management and The Headmistress, Ms. Anu Sehgal praised and applauded the students for demonstrating their love for learning mathematics. The overwhelming response of the parents was truly encouraging for all at Blue Bells. The event undoubtedly witnessed the students celebrating the magic of numbers with their parents, teachers and peers. It was indeed a memorable experience for all who visited the grand event!
