Teachers Training workshop on Classroom Management was conducted by CBSE on 9th & 10th September, 2017 at Delhi Public School, Allahabad Added on: 12 Sep 2017
The improvement of teaching qualities is a high priority in any educational system. Teachers are assigned the role of change agents and are presented with new challenges e.g. to make education global, permanent, flexible enough to serve in any environment (in or out of the classroom) for life and reflective of the community. Teachers have to learn to adapt creatively to changes in content and to prepare generations who are universal, critical, and creative and who have firm identities with their socio-cultural background. However, a realistic approach to in-service teacher training programme/ workshop should consider that teachers are ordinary human beings with their virtues, defects, duties and rights.
In this regard the training workshop on Classroom Management was conducted by CBSE on 9th& 10th September, 2017 at Delhi Public School, Allahabad. 66 teachers from different schools participated in the workshop.

The Guests of Honour in their speeches congratulated the achievers and said that in this competitive world one must pursue excellence and for this it is very important for the students to have a pre-defined goal. This was followed by a beautiful instrumental song presented by the students of the school, giving the message—that when someone wants to get something from his heart he tries to get it with all his efforts and will power and if the will power is strong, anything can be achieved. This performance was succeeded by an enthralling song and a dance performance through which the students mesmerized the audience.
SAVE THE EARTH Added on: 01 Jun 2016
Earth day, a time when people round the world hold events to honour our home planet. It's a day to think about our planet and what we can do to keep it special, to think about saving water and energy, reducing pollution, recycling, protecting our animals, trees and plants and generally getting children interested in protecting their environment.
The three R's: Recycle, Reuse and Reduce were discussed in the class.
Children of classes Pre-Nursery, Nursery and Prep also learnt to observe, create and remain in touch with the ever changing world and to develop a caring attitude towards the earth by learning to recycle and use materials for art and crafts rather than throwing them away.
Students were asked to bring plastic bottles to use them to make different crafts. They painted the bottles to make Octopus and Piglet and enjoyed the activity.

FOR THE LOVE OF WORDS! April 20 ,2016 Added on: 01 Jun 2016
On April 20, 2016 a Language Talk was given before the students of classes 8-12 in the auditorium of DPS Allahabad. Mr. Dhruv Sharma, the mastermind of Logophilia was the resource person. The Language Talk was basically an introductory session(ahead of the main workshops)in which the students were given an insight into learning to recognise words of English language via some specific methods .In this session the students were acquainted with the historical background of English language that dates back to the time when Greek and Latin were used mostly. Some startling facts concerning the number of words in some languages, including English were also divulged to the students (here English tops the list with more than 10 lakh words). Some instances related to figuring out a word from English language by splitting it into two parts were also displayed which the students found most interesting. The pupils found the Talk intriguingly informative and practical and many of them got themselves registered for the Logophilia Workshop which were to follow from April 22-23, 2016. The Workshop on the dates aforementioned turned out to be more utilitarian in an engrossing manner. The students, ahead of the workshops were looking forward to striking a closer understanding as regards deciphering an English word which they are not familiar with. Their expectation was comprehensively catered to in the Workshops as the knowledge they gained, many of them firmly believe would help them with English language throughout their lives. Studying a word etymologically(specially by dint of an etymon)not only helped pupils to grasp a particular word interestingly easily, it also enabled them to decode so many other words too in the similar fashion as the pupils were now familiar to the very root of the words they had emerged from.
During the Workshop a test was also conducted to check the students` understanding related with words of English language. The short listed students will make it to the other competitions of higher level which the Team Logophilia has planned to organise with other schools, colleges and Universities across India. Logophilia was an unprecedented experience for the students of DPS Allahabad as they loved it thoroughly participated whole. Heartedly, learnt extensively and toiled assiduously to make it to the next level. On the whole, it was a very fruitful event, apart from the academics, being a part of it as well!!
