THE POWEROF PLAY
In general, play is a developmental task, a process
of exploring and experiencing the world. Children
confront situations that stimulate real life when they
play and by enacting them they acquire the abilities
necessary to master these situations. Play helps to
prepare children for a world that belongs to adults, as
well as to learn, many fundamental life skills.
The values of play:
Recent research has shown that play is childhood
stimulates the brain and the body and that it is the
best resource to make learning easier.
Imagination and creativity are the skills
that benet the most from play. Apart
from the intellectual aspect, a childs
social, emotional and physicalpotential can be developed also.
It is thus an indispensable
activity for a childs integral
development.
The reality is that a quantity
of toys will never trump quality.
Focus on a few toys that will challenge
development.
For sustaining interest in toys it is important to
rotate their availability, so as to avoid your child from
getting bored with one particular toy. Toys are one of
the most important tools in play. The childs age can be
a guide in choosing a toy. The purpose of educationa
toys is to give children greater learning opportunities
The value of toys is that children learn better through
interesting and challenging activities, which are no
too complicated and dicult. When a child perform
a new activity successfully, they feel motivated to do
it again or a more complicated version, hence learningnew skills. Children need a variety of toys to stimulate
all their senses. Some of the toys should oer speci
features that can be touched, observed and analysed
in order to understand concepts like fast & slow
light & heavy, thin & fat. In this way, children wil
base their learning on experience and adul
explanation.
Opportunity to play in dieren
environment is also very enriching
One should hence provide youchild with certain toys for outdoo
activities. Playing outdoors allow
a child to stretch themselve
physically which they cannot do
indoors. Outdoors they can run
around unhindered and develop
strength and tness in kicking o
hitting a ball or climbing. It is importan
for children to play outside whenever possible.
ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACKA DULL BOY.

Hard times, today have become
a part of our lives, be it adults
or children. Parenting today
has become a totally new and
difficult job for reasons no
one can explain.
As parents, we have begun toexpect our children to perform
miracles at every stage of life,
be it studies or extracurricular
activities.
In this fast moving
world, where most of the
parents are working, they
give less and less time to their
children, but expect that
their child performs inacademics and other
fields.
Generally it so
happens, due to
shortage of time, parents
bribe their children with
goodies, if they get a good grade
in school, little thinking that they
are imbibing wrong values in the
childs minds. We complain about
corruption in the society, but see
corruption has begun at home.
This is a wrong practice, which is
rampant in todays world.
Parents for a certain reason want
their child to be a jack of all because
there is so much competition
everywhere. They continuously
compare their childs likes, dislikes,
strength, weaknesses with
either their friends, classmates
etc.
Arent we putting a lot of stress
on them? They are doing so
many things in such a short
time.Television and mobiles
have taken the place of open
gardens and outdoor play. Who is
responsible for this? I think we
all know the answer but
somehow ignore and avoid it.
A humble request to one and
all please let the child remain
a child and enjoy his/her
childhood.
Some tips:(1) Give quality time
to your child.
(2) Have a healthy
conversation.
(3) Motivate them at every
stage of life.
(4) Encourage them to play
outdoor games.
These are just small things, which
can help the child to become
independent and a strong individual.
A lovely saying by Shri Rajesh Reddy
Mere dil ke ek kone main masoom
sa ek bachchha
Dekhkar bado ki duniya, Bada hone
se darta hai.

MY TRIP TO IMAGICA
The Family of Rabbits
NEERJA BHATTClass 2 C
PRIYA SHAHClass 5 G
I had an exciting trip to Imagica in October. I went with my familyand friends. There were 17 of us. There were so many thrill rideslike Nitro, Scream machine, Gold Rush, D2 etc. I went for Gold
Rush the big roller coaster ride twice, which I think was the best!Another ride which I liked was Mr. India, in which the famouscharacters of Anil Kapoor, Sri Devi, and Calendar, take us throughthe simulated car ride of Imagica, and saving the children from the villain, Mogambo!Rajasauras was another thrilling ride in which we ride a boat, get attached by dinosaurs andeventually have a roller coaster ride in the water!Last, but not the least, the Princess Castle, TheCinderella Shoe, and the Imagica parade in the eveningmade the place very lively.We spent almost 11 hours having fun at Imagica andstayed there till 9 p.m, until the wonderland closed.
In the evening lightings Imagica seemed like a dreamworld, the world from which I never want to come out.While coming out of the gates, we could only remindourselves of the Imagica song which goes as follows:Imagica Imagica
Yeh to hai apna imagination,
Yehi pe crazy ho jayega,
Yeh to hai family fun ka destination,
Yehi pe masti me time ud jayega,
Imagica . Yae yae ya Imagica Yae yae ya ,Imagica its truly magical!
I would definitely recommend a trip to Imagica, and would love to visit again!
Once upon a time in a beautiful jungle there lived a family of
rabbits. The mothers name was Snowbell, the brother was Jackand the sister was called Snowy. One sunny morning the threewent in search of a juicy green patch of grass. In no time theyfound the perfect patch of green wholesome grass. They tuckedinto the succulent food.While they were eating a tiger came near the patch. As we all knowrabbits are afraid of tigers and the three bolted as soon as thetiger. They saw Pinky, the elephant across the river, and shouted toher for help. She stretched her long trunk across the narrow river.The rabbits hopped on to her trunk and then climbed on to her back. Pinky splashed somemuddy water on the tiger and the tiger ran away.

A sister is the one, who lls your life with thrills.But sometimes due to her, you eat bitter pills.
If shes is elder then alls well and good,
Shell give new toys and make tasty food.
But go to her only when shes in a good moodOtherwise in anger, shell always be rude.
However, things are dierent if shes small
Shell beat you by kicking and slapping you, in spite of you being tall.So, if you have a naughty little sister, I can imagine the stress given to you.
Dont worry friend, I have one in my house too.
We are Anonymous. We are Legion.We do not forgive. We do not forget.Expect us.Im sure the above lines look a bitstrange to you. But these are not
just any lines. These are the lines ofrevolution, according to Anonymous,a hacktivist group which has gainedquite some attention in the past fewyears. Anonymous does not workunder a leader or anything of thatsort, it is a group of hackers who areagainst censorship of the internetand the breach of privacy done bythe national intelligence agencies.Anonymous is believed to havestarted on the image sharingwebsite 4chan, starting initially asa group of trollers, or people whomake jokes out of other people for
entertainment. Slowly they startedto grow in number and started toshift towards social issues. In 2008,they launched their rst hacktivismoperation, Operation Chanologyagainst The Church of Scientologyafter the church issued aninfringement letter against a 4chanmember for leaking Tom Cruisesvideo about the religion. The groupresponded by launching multiple
attacks on the churchs server.The video they uploaded gainedthousands of views.Anonymous members, calledAnons usually wear Guy Fawkesmasks and are known to keep theiridentities secret. They have beenlabelled as freedom ghters anddigital Robin Hoods by manypeople. In 2012, they were voted byTime magazine as one of the 100most inuential people on theearth.
Anonymous, until now have carriesout hundreds of movementsagainst various governments andorganizations like PayPal, Sony, Visa,MasterCard and also the FBI. The

surveillance and censorship.
They have carried out not only
hacks but also protests in public
Thousands of people wear the Guy

movements opposing certain policies
and rules of the organisations.
Governments have taken various
steps to shut down this radical group
but have not been able to fully shutdown the organization. Thousands
of hackers have been detained but
the organization is still functional
Their activities have reduced to quite
an extent, but it wont be a surprise if
they strike again anytime soon.
Such organizations have shown time
and again what common people can
do to voice their opinions.

PAUCITY OF TIME
ELEMENTS OF ELOQUENCE
On 27th August 2014, going throughthe daily newspaper, reading aboutissues like the new party-in-powersplans and committees, the exciting
US Open results, Business andEconomy, the soaring Forex andSensex values, I stopped.....withmy whole heart and soul at a cornerand realised that something ofmuch colossal signicance has beenbelittled by our country. The newsread, Stalked and harassed Rohtakteens and lives, and Americandream. My heart pounced but Imanaged to keep it to my wits..!!
Both the girls, Madhu and Nikitashared a dream: a life in America,a world free from Rohtak. The twoteens were being harassed andfollowed by young men. The lewdremarks, their atrocities knew nobounds when these tormentorstroubled and stalked themincessantly. The two girls wereworking hard to fulll their and their
families dream of making to theUnited States of America.People often question that suchincidents take place in the countrytime and out and the conditionswill certainly not improve so whatsthe point of such news?But itsimportant to bring light to such
cases as these form the substantialcomponent of our wreckingsociety! Is it really worth makingbig international deals, or attending
huge conferences, or the strikingdown of the collegium system, orthe formation of the new partysparliamentary board, or othersuch political operations, when thecountry is not able to protect twoinnocent girls from three straydogs!!.With due respect to the
prestigious Constitution of ourcountry, when our constitutionprovides every citizen to residein any part of the country withassurance and refuge, then why thetwo girls were deprived from thisright?? Our homeland has failed toprovide its daughters a shelter, a
shelter where they can live withsafety, security and care, wherethe society doesnt question theicharacter for being harassed.None of us is familiar with their dayto day brutalities and so we are noone to judge their call of action.Even after so many heinous crimetaking place in the country and the
never ending court procedures andhearings, we are always back tosquare one! Its time for all the girlto proclaim that the fate of theiexistence is in their hands and noone can seize hold of their dignityand self esteem! These probehave proved to be exemplary for athe females that they themselvewill have to safeguard and armou
their lives........Because India wiwait. It will wait to see anotheNirbhaya grow, dream, relish thefake promises and commitmentof the society and then subside intoa helpless end as India has muchmacro problems to deal with thensuch iota issues.
Shakespeare was not a genius. Hewas, without the distant shadowof a doubt, the most wonderfulwriter who ever breathed. Butnot a genius. No angels handedhim his lines, no fairies proofreadfor him. Instead, he learnttechniques, he learnt tricks, and
he learnt them well. Genius, aswe tend to talk about it today,is some sort of mysterious andcombustible substance thatburns brightly and burns out. Itsthe strange gift of poets and popstars that allows them to produceone wonderful work in their early

twenties and then nothing. It ismysterious. It is there. It is gone.
Shakespeare didnt started outwith complete success as wecan see in his earlier novels likeTitus Adronicus and loveslabour lost. The novels to be
quite frank were not up to themark and lacked inspiration. Butthen Shakespeare learnt newtricks and developed his writingand improved. Shakespeare didnot consider himself sacred. Hewould often just steal contentfrom other people. However,whatever he stole he improved,and he improved it using theformulas, owers and gures
of rhetoric. A moderate HenryI becomes a great Henry IV.All of his novels were gluttedwith beautiful descriptionsand the way of presentingthese descriptions, the wayof describing the particulartragedy is what makes his plays
great. The tricks that he learntdeveloped his thinking and thatshowed in his writing. But oneof the most important trickthat he learnt was that people,knowingly or unknowingly areattracted to works of alliteration.Such a simple gure of speech
transformed his works.
To prove my point I would referto a verse from a translationof Plutarchs novel by ThomasNorth. The verse was a quitesimple yet beautiful one andShakespeare has adoptedit in Hamlet. The verse wasquite similar in meaning andcomposition but when we ask
a person whether they haveheard about Norths translationor Shakespeares hamlet, theobvious answer would be Hamletbecause it is a much morepopular work and because itcontains one of the few elementsof eloquence. Alliteration.
Shakespeare transforms eachand every word and puts it downin Elizabethan in his well-knownstyle and simply replaces wordswith similar meanings.
As a result, we know Shakespearemore widely and more fondly
than North or Plutarch. Im notsaying Shakespeare was a cheatHe was a wonderful writer andwas much better than anyoneelse. But he simply understoodthe need for rhetoric in literatureand generously provided it. Notonly Shakespeare but also manygreat writers like John Keatshave adopted alliteration. Keatsonce wrote fourteen lines of
Fs and Ss and it was beautifulAll the great writers or the so-called geniuses have created aworld for the readers. A beautifuworld irrespective of the genreAnd the writer creates this worldwith the help of the elements ofeloquence.
LET THERE BE LIGHT!Pitch black save for the glowing embers of coal
The young things toiled away
Damp and unbearably hot
Furrowed brows dripping with sweat
Nimble fngers caked with soot
The children mourned theunfortunate passing
Of Rama in last weeks blast
The board outside proclaimed Saraswati Fireworks
And underneath
(though they couldnt read it)
Let there be light

VANSHIKA THAKURClass 8 C
You are going to meet theCM, these words from RadhikaMaam, our Principal, left mesuper excited, suspicious andconfused at the same time.Next day as per plan, I reached
the Ahmedabad Mirror officein the morning. The programhad been arranged by theMirror team. They were totake hundred children fromdifferent schools and sectionsof the society to sevendifferent places that is theCMs office, fire station, radiostation, railway museum, GIFTcity, DGPs and IPs office andAhmedabad InternationalAirport.The children were divided intoten groups. As time constraintwas there each group wouldvisit only two places. Ourgroup visited the CMs officein Gandhinagar and the GIFTcity. Meeting the CM was awonderful experience. Mrs.
Anandiben Patel had initiallydecided to spend only 30minutes with us but when weall started talking to her andputting our queries to her, shespent about an hour and a half.
She spoke to us like a teacherand not as a CM. We askedher many questions abouther life, her interests, her roleas a CM and her childhood.She answered them all with alot of patience. She is a verydown-to-earth lady despiteher position. She is also verydisciplined and it is an integralpart of her life. After themeeting room interaction wewent to the garden where wewere served chocolates andsweets.Next we headed towards GIFTcity. This tech city aspiresto cater to Indias largefinancial services by offeringglobal firms world classinfrastructure and facilities.
It aims to attract top talent
in the country by providing
them the finest quality of life
within integrated townships.
Its unique architecture and
planning is that attracted me
most. Completion of the city
will take another decade or so.Afterwards we went to Patang,
a revolving restaurant in the
heart of Ahmedabad city. Of
course this was the best part
of the day! We had a lot of fun
there with RJ Megha hosting
the party. We played games
and ate to our fill. I met a lotof other children, many from
municipal schools during this
visit. I loved interacting with
them. But I realised that they
do not get the facilities that we
take so much for granted.This was undoubtedly the
happiest Childrens Day of my
life!

BOOKS FOR A BUBBLY CHILDHOOD: ACHILDRENS DAY SPECIALAnother Childrens Day has come and gone, but ifyou ask me, every single day is their day. More so,when I see the little cherubic faces make their wayinto the library and clamor for their favorite books!Come, lets delve into some of the most lovedchildrens literature from all around the world.
Writing for children is a monumental task, given their fragile, impressionable minds and innite capacity to absorb anyand everything which comes their way. Writers like R.K. Narayan (Malgudi Days, Swami and Friends),Dr.Seuss ( GreenEggs and Ham,The Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish),Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, TheBFG, The Witches) and Eric Carle ( The Very Hungry Caterpillar) have managed this feat admirably.
Slightly older children, in the age group of nine to thirteendelight in reading Enid Blyton (Malory Towers, St.Clares, The
Enchanted Wood series, The Naughtiest Girl), Sukumar Ray (Goopi Gyne Bagha Byne series), Carolyn Keene (Nancy Drew,Hardy Boys series), Geronimo Stilton, The Diary of a Wimpy Kidseries,Aesops Fables, comic book collections like Tintin, Asterix,Archie,Benton, Artemis Fowl series, the Percy Jackson series,short stories by Sudha Murty,Ruskin Bond,the Chronicles ofNarnia series etcetera. Older children have varied tastes, rangingfrom Harry Potter,Lord of the Rings, Twilight, Sherlock Holmes to
P.G.Wodehouse, Shakespeare, The Fault in Our Stars, The Hunger Games, horror story collections by R.L.Stine, RayBradbury,Satyajit Ray,Roald Dahl and many more.
The reading and attention span of children is very less, therefore, it takes agenius of a high order to create a story and visuals compelling enough forthem to read the entire book. The authors and books mentioned here areonly a starting point, many children read beyond their years, displayingimmense maturity and a level of understanding at par with adults. To get achild to read something which is purely for fun, and which wont be testedin the classroom nor will fetch him marks is a task of herculean proportions.I do my hat to all the childrens writers who have managed to carve asplendid niche for themselves in their target market, the impressionableyoung mind.

Childrens Day...a day that is celebrated in very few countries and fortunately India
is one of them! When Chacha Nehru suggested his birthday to be celebrated as a
day for children, the idea was welcomed with great enthusiasm. Being a child is not
easy, as you have learned over the past years, so on this day you can simply forget
everything else and enjoy life.
An idea! Why dont you simply enjoy each day of life and make every day Childrens
Day?! Of course, I dont mean giving up your studies and playing games all the me,
but enjoying whatever you do with full enthusiasm. Whether you are at home, in
school or outside, live your life to the full. Be happy with what you have and let others be happy too. Make it a mission
to put a smile on every face. Start with your home and spread the joy to your school and outside world. The happy faces
all around you will add to your joy and soon every day will be a Childrens Day!
Come on give it a try...what can go wrong?!
Meanwhile I have wrien a few lines for all young and young at heart people-
Colours of the sun merge into one,
When I see you my child after a long weary day
I forget my worry and the burdens that I carry
When you smile in welcome, it works like a balm
The day does not seem long, with a song in my heart I say
Come Ladli! Come lets go out and play...
