The Sarv Sahodaya Art & Photography Exhibition unfolded on Thursday, 23 November and Friday, 24 November 2023, at Sadhu Vaswani International School for Girls. In the domain of painting, students were immersed in a themed exploration. They were tasked with creating a visual interpretation of “Kabir ke Dohey” by incorporating the given folk arts. Our students, Pragya Khanna and Niharika Thakur of grade XI engaged in the intricate process of depicting Kabir’s verses, namely; “कबीर सो धन संचिए जो आगेकंूहोइ” and “मरखू संग न कीजिए, लोहा जल न तिराई”; using Warli Art from Maharashtra. The ensuing process not only enhanced their artistic skills but also provided a unique lens through which to comprehend profound philosophical concepts. In the photography segment, the theme “Expressions to Impressions” encapsulated the journey from capturing raw emotions to creating lasting impressions. Lavnika Nanda of grade X submitted the photograph titled ‘Ballet of Souls’ and Atharva Chauhan captured ‘Radiant Transformations’. The students delved into the world of visual storytelling, using their lenses to convey the nuanced transitions from initial expressions to enduring imprints. Beyond mastering artistic techniques, they gained a deeper understanding of cultural expressions and the ability to seamlessly intertwine art with literature. We celebrate the students’ accomplishments and the dedication of educators who embraced this initiative. The integration of art into our curriculum not only fostered creativity but also underscored the importance of interdisciplinary learning, laying the foundation for a well-rounded and dynamic educational environment.

Ever imagined turning the theoretical journey of “Separation of Substances” into a thrilling hands-on adventure? The grade VI students did just that by diving into the world of Science, armed with curiosity and their Science kits. No dusty textbooks here—just the sheer joy of handpicking, sieving, and winnowing to unravel mixtures! This learning-by-doing escapade wasn’t just about reinforcing theory; it was an immersive exploration that brought scientific processes to life. Beyond the classroom’s four walls, this class celebrated the power of practical, fun learning experiences.
Picture a learning experience where the mysteries of acids and bases are unlocked not in textbooks but through the enchantment of everyday items… And the seventh graders did just that in their Science class. The task at hand involved deciphering the acidic or basic properties of household substances like toothpaste, detergent, vinegar, lemon juice, and baking soda. Turmeric paper, acting as a pH indicator, transformed this exploration into a vibrant spectacle. Taking the learning experience a step further, students seamlessly integrated art into their scientific endeavor using turmeric paper as a canvas, creating drawings with a soap solution. The chemical interaction, rooted in the basic nature of the solution, added an artistic dimension to the exploration, showcasing the power of multidisciplinary approaches and the fusion of learning, fun and art beyond the confines of traditional classrooms.
“Mathematics is the most beautiful and most powerful creation of the human spirit,” proclaimed mathematician Stefan Banach. In homage to one of India’s greatest mathematicians, Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920), December 22 is observed as National Mathematics Day in India. Ramanujan, celebrated for his remarkable contributions to mathematics, especially in the theory of numbers, is honored on this day. To acquaint students with Ramanujan’s life and achievements, engaging videos and talks were presented. Following the informative sessions, students immersed themselves in innovative math-based activities. Class VI students created personal birth date magic squares inspired by Ramanujan’s famous magic square. In Class VII, mathematical concepts were integrated with their recent visit to the Qutub Minar, exploring rotational symmetry, line symmetry, two-dimensional shapes, ratios, and more. Class VIII students enjoyed a fun-filled group game, “What’s In My Chit?” challenging each other’s math knowledge. Class IX students delved into the mystery of the Möbius Strip, creating interlocked hearts to visualize symmetry in shapes. This celebration was a joyous tribute to Ramanujan, fostering a deeper appreciation for the beauty and power of mathematics among our students.
