To the School Again..!!

      After the hectic days of examination, we were back to school the last week... The children had been eagerly waiting for the sub- district level youth festival which was scheduled from 08th November to 10th November.

  The arrival of the month celebrated as "Keralappiravi" in our state as a loving tribute to the official formation of the Kerala State as a part of the State Reorganization in 1956 was appropriately addressed in the morning assembly. To add to my happiness of going back to school, my students of 8B hosted the assembly which was a fiesta of songs, speeches and much more.

      During the break we took from the internship for our exam, the English teacher at the school Mrs. Chandrika, had finished the lessons "Rosa Parks Sat Still" and started the beautiful poem "The Sower". I took off from where she had left and glided to the next poem "The Village Blacksmith" which has much in common with the former poem thematically. In fact, I was a bit skeptical about my pedagogic skills in poetry. However, I felt immensely satisfied after the class, much to my own surprize. Moreover, I could sense that my bonding with the students is getting strong each day.

      The week came to a close with a very positive and inspiring news. Our students, with their talents, hardwork and excellent performance garnered the high school section overall championship with 186 points in Pandalam sub-district level Youth festival held at Thumpamon. As always, they have proved that they are destined to conquer new horizons...!!

A moment of pride
 for the lady in the lead.
