Reflections from an Engaging Reading and Learning Session - Sunbeam School Ballia

In today’s reading session, Brinda ma’am completed a chapter that described the richness of Corfu Island through vivid descriptions of various characters such as Quasimodo, Achilles, the Rose-Beetle Man, the tortoise, and others. I also learned some new words like pantomime (an art form that uses only facial expressions, similar to Bharatanatyam), gramophone, and bowler hat. Ma’am explained all the terms beautifully and also gave us homework to learn more about the Achilles Hills. She emphasised the importance of imagining the descriptions to better understand the text.

Manisha ma’am taught us another chapter about four boys who decided to climb a glacier. She explained the importance of knowing about a place in advance and carrying the required equipment before climbing any mountain. Manisha ma’am also asked us to write about our own journey and travel experiences. I would like to mention my first trip to Dehradun with two of my lovely friends and a teacher. During this journey, I enjoyed myself a lot and learned many new things. It was a memorable experience that I will never forget.

Along with this, Jugjiv Sir shared an essential fact about the Saryu River, which connects Dehradun to Ayodhya.

I attended the Good School Alliance Session today. There was a discussion of the chapter “My Family and Other Animals.” The lesson explanation was straightforward and enjoyable, which helped me understand the characters and the chapter’s main message clearly. I really enjoyed the discussion because it made the lesson lively and easy to relate to real life.

After that, the reflections were read. It was interesting to listen to them as everyone shared unique ideas and perspectives. This activity helped me reflect more deeply and motivated me to improve my own reflection writing.

Overall, the class was interactive, enjoyable, and a meaningful learning experience for me.

In today’s reading session, Brinda ma’am completed a chapter describing the beauty and richness of Corfu Island. We read about interesting characters like Quasimodo, Achilles, the Rose-Beetle Man, and the tortoise. I also learned new words such as pantomime, gramophone, and bowler hat. Ma’am explained everything very nicely and asked us to imagine the scenes to better understand the chapter. She also gave us homework to find out more about the Achilles Hills.

Later, Manisha ma’am taught us a chapter about four boys who decided to climb a glacier. She explained the importance of proper planning and carrying the right equipment before travelling or climbing mountains.

Today, I attended an exciting and inspiring session in my school where Manisha ma’am read a beautiful story about four brave people planning to climb Mount Snowy Mountain Glacier. The story also mentioned the mysterious Yeti, a mythical creature believed to live in hilly areas, which made the session even more exciting and enjoyable. We discussed many valuable qualities, such as teamwork, courage, and positive thinking, which motivated me a lot. Overall, the session was fantastic and memorable for me.

Today’s reading session at the Good School, conducted by Jugjiv Sir, was invaluable and enjoyable. I learned to read clearly, with proper pronunciation, and to pause correctly at full stops and commas. Jugjiv Sir explained the importance of reading with expression, which made the text easier to understand. This session improved my confidence and helped me develop better reading habits. Overall, it was a productive session, and I learned many valuable skills.

The reading session featuring Jugjiv Sir and Brinda Ghosh was an absolute delight. Jugjiv Sir’s storytelling stood out for his impeccable punctuation and crisp pronunciation, which ensured every nuance of the narrative was captured. His use of dynamic facial expressions and vocal modulation added a layer of depth, making the characters and settings feel tangible.

The story itself was inherently interesting, but his masterful delivery transformed it into an immersive experience. By listening attentively, I was able to fully appreciate the humour and charm of the piece. It was a thoroughly enjoyable session that highlighted the beauty of oral storytelling.
