All WORK and no FUN makes Rajhansite a dull child....thanks to the outings and various activities, the kids of Rajhans Vidyalaya are active and enthusiastic all through the year.

The Primary kids of Rajhans had their share of outing on 24th November,2011.
The students along with their teachers went to Royal Gardens at Dahisar for a picnic. The excitement and enthusiasm on the day was contagious. They enjoyed to the fullest in the Water Park and looked like little dolphins and mermaids splashing in the pool. After the water , the kids were transported to the world of fantasy. They watched the movie Shrek 2 and danced to their heart's content. This was followed by a Magic Show which fascinated and bewildered one and all.
That's not all...they relished the sumptuous breakfast and elaborate lunch as well. At the end of the day on their return to the school , they maintained the same energy and freshness. They learnt to enjoy, share , appreciate , tolerate and maintain discipline.

 

 

The challenge was to drain the imagination of the students and explore the unknown.

Every child is a genius in his own way, they are gifted with vitality and an analytical bent of mind which was expended in the enrichment of life through the discovery of a new world under the sea.

Every class was allotted a topic and an enquiry based learning meandered…

The primary section, the eager beavers, portrayed in different hues and shapes under water flora and fauna, various treasures and minerals it holds in its bosom. Exciting water sports from ball zorbing to scuba diving kindled the love for adventurous sports.The highlight was the animation characters, toddlers bracing the attire of King Poseidon, mermaids and square pants spongebob. It was innocence personified.

 

As we climbed up to the secondary section a more profound world unravelled. The fifth and sixth graders enthralled the spectators with the names of a variety of scintillating sea cuisines, festivals and dances, even performed the koli dance with alacrity. The models were a kaleidoscope of the immortalised remains of sub-merged civilizations under the sea. Life along the sea shore and oceanography were also some of the topics conceptualised. The eight and the ninth graders mulled through three zones of the sea, various mysteries like the Bermuda triangle, the dead sea, issues that affect the ocean and the silently dying coral reef, the food chain, the mystery of the black deep water smokers. The tenth graders excavated the wealth of the sea, its commercial products, medicines obtained, the glittering jewels extracted from the sea bed. Sea water as a pivotal resource of Tidal energy and desalinisation were some of the topics, delving deeper into knowledge.

 

The projects of the senior secondary students explicated new mining methods, telecom cables, GPS, Sonar and commercial separation techniques. Eventually, the eloquence of poetry and literature based on adventures of the sea, 20,000 leagues below the sea, the ancient mariner, serenaded to the gales of the sea.

Innovation is about being exciting, creative and fun and ultimately it can lead to a learning experience. This exhibition really inspired the young innovators of the future. By highlighting the important role that innovation and creativity play on a day to day basis,it proved to be a huge success.

Like every year, this year too the Sports Day of Rajhans Vidyalaya Primary section was exciting and enjoyable for the participants as well as the audience. The HMPS playground was filled with overwhelming parents, teachers and above all the energetic students, on 22nd December, 2011.

There were races like 100 yard dash, 75 yard dash, filling the water bottle, shopping for mother, daddy's off to work, cap pass relay, one legged relay, bursting the balloons, dressing up the dude and many more.
