Unfolding History: A Visit to Keezhadi Museum, Madurai by PYP-4 and PYP-5 Students

Recently, the students of PYP-4 and PYP-5 of Ela Green School went on a fun and thrilling field trip to the Keezhadi Museum in Madurai. The Keezhadi Museum was a great educational excursion for the students as they were able to learn a lot about the history and culture of Tamil Nadu. The museum is dedicated to archaeological research and opens the merits of Ancient Tamil civilization, which is essential to know evolution of the region in the context of World History.

Some Snapshots from the Ancient History

Upon entering the museum, students were greeted with a wonderful collection of artifacts including pots, tools, ornaments, and other evidence from the Sangam period almost 2000 years ago. The excavation at Keezhadi has revealed interesting evidence of an urban settlement close to the River Vaigai and this museum represents those findings in the form of many displays. Children’s curiosity was well peaked when they saw how various pottery pieces that were brought on the site were engraved with Tamil letters which also suggests that the people at that time were likely able to read and write. They were also able to appreciate early towns’ organization, farming activities, and the way of life that this ancient civilization was based on. They were interested in how these discoveries are very important in bridging the present Tamil culture with the history of the language.

Interactive Learning and Discussions

While on that excursion, the children had several interactions with the museums’ informants who shew them around and gave speeches about each exhibit. The exciting aspect of the trip was that all of them were able to pose questions and even to increase their knowledge about historical studies and archaeology. For PYP-4 and PYP-5 students, however, the journey to Keezhadi was not simply another field trip to the museum – it was an immersive excursion that turned textbook knowledge into practical activities. They grasped the idea by being combined with practical experience which is the essence of the inquiry learning they had been engaging in.

A Call To Tomorrow’s Pilots

A couple of days ago these students appreciated the significance of each of the exhibited objects and the reasons for the need to protect one’s past as well as one’s present. They also comprehended the importance of archaeology in reverse engineering oblivion and how it is fundamental to our current society. The journey made them fascinated with the past and encouraged several of them to think about the importance of an archaeologist or a historian in the contemporary world.

Independence Day Celebrations at Ela Green School

At Ela Green School, Independence Day is a treasured event commemorating our country’s journey and the responsibilities accompanying freedom. This year’s celebration was a vibrant and significant day filled with patriotism, cultural pride, and community spirit.

Flag Hoisting and National Anthem

The day began with the ceremonial hoisting of our flag, a moment that brought about great joy in every heart. The school sang the national anthem together as the tricolor soared into the sky, creating an environment of togetherness and respect. By starting with this gesture of patriotic feeling, we were reminded how important it is to us to celebrate this particular liberty.

Chief Guest Address: Mr. MGK Gopikannan

We had Mr. MGK Gopikannan, Chairman of Maraimalai Nagar Municipality, as our chief guest, for which we were honored. Mr. Gopikannan, known for his community-based approaches, highlighted citizen responsibility in his talk. He called on everybody to partake in actions that are life-changing yet beneficial to others by reminding them that real independence means taking care of others also. His speech was a call for action that prompted change not only in students but also among staff, thus leading to a positive contribution to society.

Reflections by Mr. Shanmugam and Ms Shanthibhai

One of the highlights of the day was when reflections from Mr. Shanmugam and Ms. Shanthibhai were shared, giving insights into India’s journey during all these years. They commented on the development witnessed since independence-related education, technology, social equality, etc. Their words were both celebrations of achievements made so far and reminders that steps still need to be taken toward true equity and development.

Cultural Performances

In a series of cultural performances, our students displayed their talents, celebrating India’s rich heritage. These performances included traditional dances from different states and patriotic songs that touched the soul, showing strength in the diversity of our country. The notable moment was when they enacted some parts of India’s freedom struggle in a drama that was educational as well as emotional.

Art and Essay Competitions

Before Independence Day, there were art and essay contests where students took part under the themes of patriotism and the future of India. The level of creativity demonstrated by the students was almost unbelievable; the young ones brought out their visions for a better India through their work. The winners were announced during this occasion with their pieces put on display for everyone to see, thus giving another dimension to activities carried out that day.

Pledge to Serve the Nation

Finally, all students as well as staff made a pledge that marked an end to celebrations, reminding us about being committed to democratic values and civic consciousness. This commitment was renewed among pupils as they swore allegiance; it was not only about accepting independence but also living it every other day.

Conclusion

The Independence Day at Ela Green School was filled with reflections, pride, and motivation. Ranging from powerful speeches to lively cultural events, this gathering reinforced our commitment to what makes us who we are as citizens. Our present should remind us always that we should continue the tale of India’s advancing story so that today’s liberties will be preserved and strengthened for those yet unborn.

The spirit of independence was the true embodiment of this year’s celebration, leaving everyone with a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper appreciation for our cherished liberties.

Ela Green School: Teachers’ Workshops that Make Professional Development Fun

Take conference meetings, for instance. They can be the main reason why you have a penchant for looking at your wristwatch every five minutes, just wishing that it would come to an end already. At Ela Green School, we believe that professional development should not feel like a punishment packed with dull PPTs and tedious assessments. We instead create captivating and memorable workshops that not only improve job skills but also promote community feeling and enthusiasm amongst our teachers.

The Essence of Fun in Learning

Our workshops at Ela Green School are designed to engage more than just your mind. Learning is most effective when it is enjoyable and interactive. Our professional development sessions are aimed at keeping our educators fully engaged so that they leave with insights as well as a reenergized passion for teaching.

Team-Building for Better Collaboration

One of the highlights of our professional development program is the team-building exercise specifically designed for facilitators. These activities are crafted to help teachers bond and understand each other better, paving the way for happy and productive collaboration meetings. By creating a sense of camaraderie through mutual respect, we establish a positive working atmosphere, which benefits both our educators and students.

A Glimpse into Our Fun Workshops

Visualize a workshop where learning is dynamic, the atmosphere is lively, and each participant actively participates. That’s how Ela Green School workshops look if you want them to be this way. We incorporate various forms of interactive games, talks with pupils, or hands-on experiences into our series of sessions so that teachers remain engaged from beginning to end.

One recent workshop involved group-building exercises, which were both demanding and entertaining. The instructors were divided into small groups where they were given various assignments requiring creativity, cooperation, and problem-solving, among others. From constructing bridges out of day-to-day materials to tackling intricate puzzles, these tasks sought to underscore the importance of teamwork and effective communication.

Why Our Workshops Stand Out

Our method of professional development is unique in that it is centered on our educators’ well-being and involvement. We know that when teachers are excited about learning new things as well as growing, they bring back that enthusiasm to the classroom, thereby creating a positive ripple effect for the benefit of our entire school community.

Looking Forward to the Next Session

The feedback from our workshops has been overwhelmingly positive, with many teachers asking, "When's the next session?" Such reactions affirm that our approach works. Every workshop concludes with a sense of inspiration, which makes all participants feel connected and willing to embrace novel techniques and strategies in their teaching.

Conclusion

Professional development at Ela Green School is fun and rewarding. Our workshops are more than just activities; they are moments where professional growth occurs, leading to bonding and future preparation among educators. Through interactive sessions where everyone interacts with one another actively, we try as much as possible to make sure that we not only teach but also enthuse our instructors.

For those looking to break away from the traditional and often tedious professional development routines, Ela Green School offers a refreshing alternative. You may find it hard to believe, but this is what our workshops look like: they will always keep you yearning for further enlightenment during your training periods. Join us in making teacher training something worthwhile such that even policymakers would like to participate in it eagerly.

Come and see us at Ela Green School if you want to explore the revolutionary ways of professional development or how we make fun out of learning. If you would like additional details about our workshops, kindly visit our website or reach us through our office. Let every meeting and workshop become a platform for growth, collaboration, and enjoyment!

Embracing Learning: Insights from Ela Green School’s Grade EYP 3 Student-Led Conference

Learning at Ela Green School is not limited to the classrooms, but a colorful depiction of real-life encounters and practical experiences. Recently, there was a student-led conference where students from grade EYP 3 showcased what they had learned through engaging activities and presentations. When looking back at their achievements, I remember being amused by the question, “Which sounds better: ‘You’re 5’5 ft’ or ‘You’re 20 Kitkats long?’” This single question captures the true nature of learning at Ela Green School, described as an expedition that involves exploration, inventiveness, and significant relationships.

Exploring Measurement Creatively

This student-led conference by Grade EYP 3 pupils showed how far they have gone in holistic schooling. The little ones did not only listen actively while being taught; rather, they took part fully in various activities that may involve standard and non-standard measurements as well. They used idiomatic expressions such as ‘you are 20 kitkats long’ instead of traditional metric measurement tools that measured objects, thus demonstrating their full understanding of mathematical principles and resulting in high levels of curiosity and imagination.

Addressing Global Challenges: Climate Action

Apart from mathematics, these students also spoke passionately about pressing global issues centered on global warming. These young minds displayed a level of maturity when it came to environmental problems and the need for sustainability during this presentation. It was not just their knowledge that made them stand apart from the rest; it was their empathy towards others as well as their activism that called for making positive change.

Engaging with Nature: Animal Interactions

One of the things that brought this conference alive was students interacting with animals and exploring the characteristics of environments where animals live. Rather than relying on textbooks alone, they went out into nature themselves. Thus, this practicum helped deepen our understanding of ecosystems and taught us to be protectors of wildlife.

Beyond Textbooks: Real-World Connections

The emphasis on experimental learning and meaningful connections is what sets Ela Green School apart. It develops students into leaders of the future who are knowledgeable not only in terms of information but also caring and innovative for the world. The school does this by encouraging children to explore beyond what they have been told in class, thus acquiring a desire for knowledge based on curiosity.

Nurturing Curiosity and Empathy

Seeing the EYP 3 classes’ confidence, ingenuity, and passion during the conference, I can firmly say that their future seems bright. Learning is not just tuition at Ela Green School; it’s a path toward self-knowledge, compassion, and possibilities without end. This was evident in the Grade EYP 3 student-led conference, which celebrated growth through learning and impacting positively on others’ lives.

Empowering Excellence: Highlights from Ela Green school's Student-led Conference

Introduction

The nurturing of academic excellence as well as the promotion of empowerment and self-expression are some of our beliefs at Ela Green School. Our recent Student-Led Conference (SLC) were a proof to this notion whereby our little ones took charge themselves, displaying their achievements, talents and growth during the year. We will now explore SLC in vibrant Ela Green’s world to appreciate brilliance amongst our learners.

Empowering Young Leaders:

It was a truly breathtaking experience seeing our students take the stage with no fear throughout SLC. They did presentations that were captivating, conducted experiments, collected data, recited rhymes and displayed artifacts that reflected on their learning journey. This method not only showcased their academic prowess but also brought into focus their creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

Celebrating Achievements:

For our students, the SLС became an open floor where they shared their accomplishments in academics with their parents and teachers. Each presentation was a proof of all the sweat they poured out in that year through commitment and hard work.Parents together with teachers were amazed by how much our students knew and understood.

Confidence in Communication:

Perhaps one of the most outstanding things about SLC was how confident children addressed their parents. The way these young boys articulated what they have achieved over time, challenges faced and goals ahead left people mesmerized with good communication skills depicted hence making them confident enough to share with others what they have owned about the education process.

Visually Engaging Experience:

The SLC was not just informative; it was visually attractive as well. Our students acted as MCs who confidently used microphones in guiding audiences through presentations. The combination of technology, creativity and confidence made SLC memorable for teachers as well as parents.

Conclusion

Ela Green School’s Student Led Conference celebrated student empowerment; it was an epitome of academic success and effective communication. It was a joyful event that saw our young leaders showcase their achievements and development, permanently etching in the minds of those who attended it. We anticipate more such occasions for our students to be at the helm, inspiring others on their educational path.

The Effervescence Day in Ela Green School

Unveiling Nature's Marvels: Guna Caves Explored

“Guna Caves,"  whose other name is Devil’s Kitchen, has become the talk of the town at Ela Green School recently. At an impressive height of 2,200 metres above sea level, the caves have provided an interesting subject for students and lecturers alike. It is amazing how such formations from nature as this cave can evoke our interest and awe.

Landforms: Nature’s Architectural Masterpieces

Landforms are world architecture at its best; haven’t we all once had a picture taken with hands arched on top of some mountain tips? The Effervescence Day at Ela Green School celebrated various breath-taking landforms that define our planet. Students contemplated these nature wonders’ beauty and worth, from beautiful mountains to wide plateaus, serene islands to dry deserts.

EYP 2 Presents: A Journey Through Time and Terrain

One unforgettable day in Ela Green School was recently experienced during “Effervescence Day,” when students were able to demonstrate their talents and skills in EYP 2 through spectacular performances. The theme of the day was centred on landforms; therefore, students’ presentations breathed life into every second of the movie clip from the Ice Age through detailed research work as well as captivating exhibits. It was a journey across space as well as history that made us appreciate fascinating works of geology.

Bringing the Ice Age to Life: Creative Interpretations

The EYP 2 creativity was evident in the way they interpreted ‘Ice Age’. They recreated every part, starting from frozen landscapes to memorable characters, with great care so that their passion for learning and telling stories could be exhibited. This was a testimony that imagination bears witness while exploring different epochs or places, which brings happiness.

The Power of Contagious Energy: Highlights from Effervescence DayThere was so much excitement in the air during “Effervescence Day." The EYP 2 students were so passionate and enthusiastic in their presentations that they figuratively shook the ground on which people stood. On this day, the school community came together to marvel at nature’s wonders and how its young minds are able to stretch even beyond.

Celebrating Creativity and Curiosity: Reflections on a Memorable Event

 Innovate, inspire, and leave indelible marks behind is the role of education as we ponder the memorable moments of “Effervescence Day.” Such events at Ela Green School go beyond just enhancing our academic lives; they also lead us into exploration and discovery far from classrooms. It was a day of honouring creativity, curiosity, and, above all, looking ahead positively.

Conclusion: Inspiring Tomorrow's Leaders

"The Effervescence Day" celebrated at Ela Green School was more than just a talent show; it emphasised what schools do: make future leaders through learning for life.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

At Ela Green School, our aim has always been to provide a transformative educational environment that is beyond traditional education and where students can excel academically, socially, and environmentally. We want a world where learning is not bounded by walls, thus creating compassionate people who are aware of global initiatives. Our vision is to be a beacon of excellence for holistic education and to create learners who are focused on making positive changes in their societies.

The school’s Vision

Ela Green School envisions that, along with education, every child should develop a deep connection with nature and be a socially responsible person contributing to a sustainable environment. Ela Green School aims to enlighten that education and sustainability shape a compassionate and empowered citizen.

Aims and Objectives

Our objectives are ambitious yet necessary for sustainable development. We plan to cut down carbon emissions by 50% below 2025 levels and achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. A yearly report showing progress will be given out every year so as to ensure we remain transparent on our journey towards sustainability.

Detailed Carbon Footprint Analysis for 2023

In 2018, as we began,the school had an insignificant effect on carbon emissions; as we grew,we decided to report the carbon emissions.We use Karbonwise,our sustainability partner,to effectively monitor the CO2 emissions and the outcomes of the carbon emissions report for 2023 are:

Scope 1: Emissions: These include direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by Ela Green School, like fuel sources at site, fugitive emissions, and company vehicles totaling up to 87.8 tCO2e/yr.

Scope 2 Emissions: These pertain to indirect emissions associated with electricity purchased through the State Utility Grid (specifically CO2 emissions from electricity drawn from the grid), estimated at around 56.1 tCO2e/yr.

Scope 3: Emission: indirect emissions within the value chain of Ela Green School in the form of goods and services purchased, business travel, occupant commuting, etc. 8.2 tCO2e/yr for transport, 0.7 tCO2e/yr for business travel; scope three emissions contribute 42.3% to our carbon footprints.

Insights into Our Sustainability Initiatives

Our journey with Karbonwise has been significant in tracking down and reducing our carbon footprint. Ela Green School is proud to be the first school in the world that is LEED Platinum certified under the rating system v4.1 Existing Buildings: Interiors category. Our sustainability initiatives include emission reductions, offsetting emissions, and transparency in reporting. We insist on public transport for our students and staff members; we buy fair trade products; we support small businesses; and we engage with local residents.

Future Strategies and Goals

In the future, we will keep cutting emissions, establish sustainable practices, and engage with the community on a larger scale. Our forthcoming strategies include holding open days for other schools so that they can learn from us regarding sustainability measures and set specific target levels of performance and report regularly on these parameters of performance.

Conclusion

Ela Green emphasises that sustainability is not just a goal but a lifestyle. We strive to create an environment that promotes environmental consciousness, innovation, and collaboration among us all. Together, we can make today’s society more sustainable so as to prepare it for tomorrow’s generation, who are more resilient than ever before. A journey towards making this place more eco-friendly continues unabatedly; therefore, any partners or thoughts within these lines are welcome by management.

Empowering Young Minds: A Look into Elagreen School's Student-Led Conference by Grade PYP-3

At Elagreen School, students are not limited to books and exams; their education is all about making them independent thinkers. The recent student-led conference by the Grade PYP-3 children demonstrated immense growth and talent that will forever remain in people’s memories.

Empowering Students Through Action: A Unique Approach to Learning

We bet that our favourite hobby in May was melting ice cubes in our mouths." This introduction, which is a little strange, sets the tone for the kind of innovative and hands-on learning experiences provided at Elagreen School. The Student-Led conference for PYP-3 students was not just about presentations; it entailed turning ideas into action. Consequently, a number of fun learning activities have been used by students to demonstrate their grasp of concepts and apply them in real-life situations.

From Balloons to Brilliant Minds: Unleashing Creativity and Curiosity

Blowing balloons? So they blew up our minds with their otherworldly research skills and experiments. The PYP-3 students displayed various projects and events indicative of their creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking abilities. Science experiments and art projects were all manifestations of their love for knowledge and exploration.

Parental Involvement and Impactful Interactions

The most significant part of the student-led conference was when the children were interacting with their parents. They realised that they were passionate about learning rather than rote memorization as they presented the assignments together with what they had done in class. On this occasion, the parents couldn’t help being astonished by how confident, well-spoken, and deep their children are on these subjects. As such, it marked a moment of pride for both parties (students’ parents), thus proving the necessity of supportive learning environments.

Lessons Learned and Future Aspirations

The student’s conference did not only show what has been learned but also exposed a growth mindset with resilience among the learners involved. They embraced challenges, learned from mistakes made, and celebrated achievements wholeheartedly. Young learners like these wish to tread where others have not dared go before so as to solve complex problems, thereby making a positive impact on people’s lives.

Conclusion: Nurturing Tomorrow's Leaders Today

Elagreen School’s focus on student-centred learning and empowerment can be seen in events such as the Student-Led Conference by Grade PYP-3. This approach allows students to take charge of their learning process and express their ideas with confidence, thereby moulding them into leaders of tomorrow. As we commemorate their successful venture, we hope that they will continue to grow even more victorious in the years ahead.

Unleashing the Spirit of Collaboration: Inside the People Jam at Ela Green School

Introduction: Celebrating Unity and Creativity

Creativity and collaboration make the hallways of Ela Green School alive with a buzz. It’s not just about being academically excellent here, but it’s about producing all-rounded individuals who can easily navigate the complexities of life. For instance, People Jam was an event that brought out such spirit of working together.

Learning Through Organization: PYP 4 Students Take Charge

Learning about organization involves understanding how a group of individuals collaborate to accomplish a particular objective. In this instance, PYP 4 students organized a series of games, along with a prize distribution and cultural activities, under the event name "People Jam" on March 4, 2024. This experience provided students with valuable hands-on experience in event organization.

Crafting the Vision: From Concept to Reality

What then is People Jam? It is more than an event; it is a celebration of oneness, creativity and diversity as well. Picture a vibrant circus where laughter fills the air, friends unite to embrace joys that are shared. That is people jamming in short.

Hands-On Learning: The Journey of Growth

However, People Jam did not just offer fun; it also created room for learning experiences that could lead to growth. During various activities planned by students, they improved their leadership skills, understood how important communication and collaboration were as well as appreciated teamwork better than before. Indeed these are lessons that go beyond school’s walls into building blocks for what lies ahead in life.

Celebrating Diversity: Cultural Showcase

The climax of People Jam was the cultural activities, where different students displayed their customs and traditions. From dance presentations to music, it was a festivity of diversity that united individuals from diverse cultures in the spirit of oneness.

Fun and Games: A Carnival of Joy

Oh yes! Not to forget the games we played. People Jam had interesting challenges such as treasure hunts and puzzle-solving for everyone’s liking. The spectators also caught this infection since they can still not stop taking part in the merriment.

Recognition and Pride: Celebrating Achievement

Certainly, no event is complete without appreciation and so was People Jam. Prizes were given to winners at the end of the day for all types of games and contests; though, what mattered most, truly rewarding them all was that each one experienced personal fulfillment by being part of something wonderful.

Conclusion: Memories of Mirth and Fellowship

It was another memorable day at Ela Green School, the laughter and friendship vibrated in the atmosphere. Although People Jam is just a singular event, it will remain significant for a long while. It shows how strong collaboration can be, how enjoyable it is to share experiences, and how amazing diversity is. And yet again at Ela Green School, it’s only one more day in exploration and development.

In Pursuit of Mythical Glory: Fantasy vs. Reality

The mythological phoenix rising from its own ashes and childhood dreams of dragons soaring through the heavens are just two examples of how fantastic creatures have long captivated our imaginations.

Navigating Life's Journey: Lessons from the Field
