Reading Beyond Books: Reflections on Stories, Values, and Learning - Sunbeam School Ballia

Today, I attended the Good School session where Brinda Ma’am read the book My Family and Other Animals. The story was really amazing and fantastic. It beautifully showed how much Gerald loved animals and how curious he was about nature. Ma’am also told us about the good and caring nature of his mother, which made the story even more interesting and heart-touching. The session was very exciting and enjoyable. I loved listening to the story, and it helped me understand the importance of love for animals and family. Overall, it was a wonderful and memorable session.

The reading session by Jugjiv Sir under the Good School Alliance program was very informative and enjoyable. He explained the text simply and clearly, which helped us understand better. The session improved our reading, pronunciation, and comprehension skills. Sir encouraged us to read aloud and asked questions, making the class interactive and interesting. I learned many new words and their meanings. Overall, the session was very useful and motivating, and it inspired me to develop a regular reading habit.

The Good School Alliance reading session on 8 February helped me understand that literature is not only a source of knowledge but also a guide for learning important values and responsibilities in life.

The first session was conducted by Brinda Ma’am, who introduced us to the book My Family and Other Animals. Through the reading, we learned how literature can beautifully describe childhood curiosity, family relationships, and the wonders of nature. The session became more thoughtful when a student asked a question about whether duty or emotion is more important. The example of a police officer whose son had committed a crime made us think deeply about honesty, fairness, and moral responsibility. It helped us realise how difficult it can be to balance personal feelings with professional duty.

The second session was conducted by Jugjiv Sir, who discussed the book What You Are Looking For Is in the Library. He explained how books and libraries can guide us in finding answers through learning and self-reflection. The session encouraged us to develop reading habits and to believe that knowledge and patience help us overcome challenges in life.

In conclusion, the reading session was both informative and inspiring. It improved our understanding of literature and encouraged us to think ethically and responsibly. The experience showed us how reading plays an important role in decision-making.

In today’s session, firstly Ms. Brinda Ghosh Ma’am read the book My Family and Other Animals. This story was amazing and marvellous. Ma’am had not just read the story; she also told us about many small creatures and animals. This session was very attractive and exciting.

The next session with Jugjiv Singh Sir was also amazing because he teaches stories in an exciting way, in which every student enjoys the session. He read the book What You Are Looking For Is in the Library. It was a very interesting and knowledgeable story for all the students and teachers. After that, he asked some questions related to the story. Later, we saw and read the reflections in Hindi and English. We were very happy after reading our own written reflections, which showed the students’ performance in reading and writing.

This class is not just about reading; it is all about enjoyment and fun with Good School members. I thank every single person of Good School Alliance for giving us this wonderful opportunity to learn new things in many new ways.

Thank you
