Our students were made to stay with the boys in the boarding houses so that they may
experience hostel life. Three students stayed in Nimaji House, three in Dataji
House and two in Kanerkhed House. Ms. Usha Pawar and Vaishali Rao stayed in Jankoji
House Guest Room (where Ms. Deepika Tandon- our Principal was the Housemaster).
These houses were in the Junior Campus. For breakfast, lunch and dinner we had
to go to the Senior Campus as the Dining Hall was there.
We visited the entire school campus and attended the School on 19th February. Students of Class VIII and VII were sent to attend four lessons after the Assembly. Ms. Usha Pawar was escorted by Ms. Jaiamala Patil to the Paper Mache Department. We learned to make many things out of paper pulp. We made pen holders, monuments, cards etc,. Every day, after four lessons, rest of the students also joined us. We visited the Tie & Dye Department, Wood Work Department and Stone Carving Department; learnt to tie and dye handkerchiefs with beautiful designs. We carved a heart out of white marble and the name of our Principal.

We
appreciate the work that Scindians do. The opportunity that we got helped
us to get exposure and polish our talent better. In the evening at 4:00 P.M., we played sports in the school's regular games time. We also attended a lot of classroom
activities. We learnt to make many decorative things. The students of The Scindia
School were very friendly and cooperative. It was a wonderful experience. We
are proud to say that we are two 'Indians'- "Fabindians” and
“Scindians”.
Thank you Mr. Samik Ghosh for inviting us to your School. Thanks to Ms. Rakhi
Sharma and Ms. Gurusharan Kaur who made arrangements to make our stay
comfortable at school. Thanks to Ms. Jaimala Patil for being such a great help in the
Art & Craft Dept. We would also like to thank our Principal who gave us this
opportunity and we would like to thank all those who worked behind the curtain to make this possible as a very rich experience. We also visited the
Gwalior Fort and went to shop in the city. We were applauded and
appreciated greatly. This learning experience has made us more creative and
smart.

अपने मन में कुछ भरने की आशा
यह छोटी सी आशा है।
देश से मिटे भ्रष्टाचार,
गरीबी पर हो प्रहार,
काला धन आये देश में ,
लाए फिर से नई बहार,
सोने की चिड़िया कहलाए,
घी दूध की नदियाँ बह जाये
ऐसी ही आशा है।
नेता तो बन जाये जननेता ,
लगे न उनको कि वो है विजेता ,
देश में लाये विकास की गंगा ,
एक परिवार लगे उनको जनता ,
परिवार का मुखिया बन जाए
ऐसी ही आशा है
बच्चों के हाथों में बचपन,
खेलने के लिए हो खिलौने,
पढ़ने को सतरंगी किताबें,
हो बाग़ में सैर सपाटे,
शिक्षा का सम्बल मिल जाए,
बाल मजदूरी फिर खो जाए
ऐसी ही आशा है
औरत का हो सम्मान निराला,
हर हाथ हो उसका रखवाला,
घूमे फिर स्वछंद देश में ,
न हो अपमान न हो तिरस्कार,
बुरी बात सोचें न मन मे,
फिर से पावन बन जाएं

Bose and his contributions towards science
Muskan Rathod/VIIIB/
TH: Shared certain facts on metals, space and gases
Chetan Vaishnav/VIIA/ DH: Spoke about Albert Einstein and his ways of
figuring out things by experimenting. How he believed in understanding than
mugging up.
Avinash Sen/VIIA/ RH: Spoke
about Alexander Graham Bell whose father, grandfather, and brother had been
associated with work on elocution and speech. Both his mother and wife were
deaf. This deeply affected his research on hearing and speech. His experiment
with hearing devices eventually got him to be awarded as the first U.S PATENT
for the telephone in 1876.
Rakesh Suthar/VIIA/

a scientist.His
work on the development of ballistic missile and launch vehicle technology
Jitendra Chipa/VII A/TH: Spoke
about Sir. C.V. Raman.
whose ground breaking work in the field of light scattering earned him the
Nobel Prize in 1930. He discovered that, when light traverses a transparent
material, some of the deflected light changes in wavelength. This phenomenon is
now called Raman Scattering. In 1954, he was honoured with the highest civilian
award in India, the Bharat Ratna.
Science Week Day IV
Archana Koratkar/VB/GH
Explained concepts on Electricity
Yashvi Choudhary/VB/ DH: Spoke
on discovery of Steam engine,
Kapil Bansal/IX-A/ DH: Spoke on
Issac Newton
an English physicist and mathematician who is widely recognised as one of the
most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the scientific
revolution. Newton made seminal contributions to optics. Newton's Principia
formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation, which dominated
scientists' view of the physical universe for the next three centuriesSandesh Singh/IX-A/ DH: Explained about Mercury. It is commonly known as quicksilver and was formerly named hydrargyrum. Mercury is the only metallic element that is liquid at standard conditions for temperature and pressure; the only other element that is liquid under these conditions is bromime, though metals such as caesium, gallium and rubidium melt just above room temperature. Mercury is used in thermometers barometers etc,.
Shashank Singh/IX-A/ DH: Showed an experiment of a candle in which he showed that a candle is lit on both sides. How air moves from high pressure to low pressure and balances the candle.
Aditya Pratap Singh/IXA/GH: Showed experiment
of on floating the eggs in salt water and normal mineral water. A bottle was
taken in which a paper was burnt and put in the bottle. Due to the pressure the
mouth of the bottle expanded and a boiled egg was able to slip inside the
bottle.
