The event started with an invocation prayer by Miss Yangersangla. The timekeeper was Madam Rebika Sharma, Miss Rukhsar Begum managed the powerpoint and Miss Imlikala Longchar was the scorekeeper. Madam Tainla and Miss Eunice Chen were the hosts.

The competition started with the host highlighting the importance of maths by stating that “numeracy skills help in improving attention span, concentration levels, decision making abilities, critical thinking and effective communication skills thereby maximising a child’s potential.”

The competition was represented by 5 teams of 4 participants each from all the 5 sections of class B. The competition had 8 rounds plus 2 audience rounds. Out of the 8 rounds, 2 rounds were activity based rounds namely, number frames round where the students had to match 3 pairs of numbers totalling 10 and directions round where one student representing their team was tasked to draw the directions in a square lines sheet according to the instructions. In both rounds, the student who completed the task first correctly won the rounds. Polaris got the edge over the other teams by winning the number frames round while Smart Earthlings won the directions round.

The rapid fire round, which was the final round, was well contested by all the teams. One participant from each team had to answer addition, doubles and halves equations within 30 seconds. Precious Pearls could correctly answer a maximum of 15 questions followed by Polaris with 14.

The highlight of the competition were the 2 audience rounds where students scrambled to answer questions. Their enthusiasm, confidence and effort to answer earned them special gifts of their choice out of the many.

After showcasing their mental prowess and potential in all the rounds, the first place was deservedly bagged by Polaris followed by Precious Pearls in second place and Heavenly Waters in third place. Our Director, Sir Ketoulhou Sekhose gave away the certificates and prizes to the 3 winning classes as well as certificates to the other 2 classes followed by a photoshoot of each of the 5 classes along with their parents, class teacher and our Director.

Madam Emilo delivered a heartfelt vote of thanks by expressing gratitude to everyone who made the competition an engaging and grand event. Miss Menangmenla closed the event with a benediction prayer.

The main goal of this event was to introduce the kids to the concept of applying their knowledge of numbers and basic mathematics in a real-life scenario while having a blast!

The kids from each Class were divided into 4 groups where they set up their own shops displaying a variety of healthy food items, fruits and crafts specially handmade by the kids themselves just for this exclusive event. The students were assigned the role of Shopkeeper, Assistant Shopkeeper, Recorder, Cashier and Bag Seller. All the participants showed up in their colorful aprons, hats and stickers according to matching themes of their respective stalls and duties.

The shopkeepers gave a detailed explanation of each item in their stalls and with their persuasive skills, did very well in convincing customers and visitors to grab lots of goodies from their shop. Another fun part of the shopkeepers’ duty was the counting of money from the sales and handing the changes back to the customers. This was done by applying simple addition, subtraction, multiple and division just as we see in a regular grocery store.

The recorders kept every detail of the items sold by noting them down in tally sheets while also maintaining accuracy so that the numbers tally with the products. They did their work very diligently so as to avoid any errors.

Special mention to the fruit sellers who did a commendable job in operating the weighing scale. Here they were required to weigh fruits according to the customer’s needs, and not by definite units like 1 kg , 2 kgs etc but everything in between, in the form of fractions. The use of mathematics here was really impressive. Such a joy to watch little kids being so innovative.

To sum it up, one would say this year’s supermarket was one of the best, if not the best so far because we got to witness so many new and exciting items which were on-the-spot for the very first time like Pancakes and Popcorn which was a huge hit among the customers.

Everyone played their roles and duties superbly. The event also received warm feedback and appreciation from visitors, both young and old who enjoyed every bit of it. Looking forward to a much bigger and better Supermarket next year.

Date: 24th February, 2024 

Timing: 8:45 AM to 12:45 PM 

The day commenced at 8:45 AM with a heartfelt prayer, setting the tone for an exciting adventure ahead. A total of 65 students, accompanied by 12 teachers and 4 helpers, embarked on a journey to Niathu Resort.

Niathu Resort welcomed us with lush greenery and the serene beauty of nature, eliciting sheer excitement from the students upon arrival. Throughout the bus journey, the air was filled with melodies as the children joyously sang songs.

The outing provided a refreshing break from classroom routines, fostering camaraderie and joyous exploration beyond the school premises. Witnessing the students immerse themselves in the new environment with boundless enthusiasm was truly heartwarming.

The highlight of the outing was the children’s ecstatic engagement at the playground, where swings, slides, merry-go-rounds, and see-saws ignited their spirits. Their unanimous desire to revisit the resort speaks volumes about the enjoyment experienced.

The excursion not only provided entertainment but also strengthened the bond between students and teachers. Laughter filled the air during group photo sessions, as students eagerly displayed their playful antics for the camera.

After an exhilarating morning, we gathered for a delicious lunch, savoring a variety of dishes. The group photograph session added a touch of humor and joy to the occasion. With spirits uplifted and memories cherished, we embarked on a safe return journey, concluding our outing by 12:45 PM.

The Niathu Resort outing was a resounding success, leaving a lasting impression on both students and teachers alike. It served as a reminder of the importance of experiential learning and shared experiences in nurturing bonds and creating unforgettable moments.

The teachers decorated the classrooms to give a warm welcome to the students with varieties of activities with learning objectives to keep them enthralled the whole day. 

It was a fun day with so many new cute faces around.
