Learning Life Skills Through Sunday School - Sunbeam School Lahartara

 

Sunday school gives us more than just knowledge—it helps us build important life skills. Through stories, discussions, and reflections, we learn how to think deeply, express ourselves, and connect lessons to real-life situations. It teaches us values like courage, patience, kindness, and gratitude, which guide our everyday actions. Sunday school also strengthens our ability to listen, understand others, and grow as individuals. Each session becomes a step toward becoming more thoughtful, confident, and aware, helping us develop skills that shape both our character and our future.

Learning Through Stories and Reading - Sunbeam Bhagwanpur

In today’s session at My Good School, Kartik Sir gave us a task. He gave us words like ‘jungle,’ 'binoculars,’ and ‘lamp,’ and asked us to make pairs, sentences, and stories using those words.

In the class, Sir read some students’ stories. They were amazing and eye-catching. Sir also gave us some tips and tricks for making our stories more attractive and presentable. It was exciting, and I learned how to write eye-catching stories.

After that, Jugjiv Sir started a story named “What You Are Looking For Is in the Library.” In this story, a girl was searching for something in the library. She asked the librarian for a book, and the librarian recommended one with amazing stories. I felt very interested in the story.

Samiksha Jaiswal, VI G

If I talk about My Good School, the most important thing I learned is proper reading. Teachers read with expression, and even stories that are not very interesting can feel very engaging. I loved some sentences in the story, like, “I can’t talk to you. Get your boss here.” I learnt the expressions one should use in such imperative sentences to make the understanding effective.

There was a character named Kiriyama who worked in an official production company. In this company, employees had to work all day beyond their regular working hours. That is why he was very exhausted. However, when he received office calls during lunch, he became happy.

Also, Manisha Ma’am asked us a hypothetical question: If you had to work at a job that you don’t like all day, how would you feel? If I’m honest, I would feel exhausted and irritated. Then she asked, if the work is something you like, how would you feel in that situation? For some time, most probably, I would enjoy it, but after that, I might not like it as much.

After that, we learned that being a good listener is very important. Through an example of customer service, we learned that a smiling customer means a satisfied customer. Sometimes, a person just wants to be listened to.

From this session, I learned how to be a good listener, writer, and communicator.

Gauri Agarwal, VIII F

Today at My Good School, we were given a task. Some words were given by Sir, and everyone had to use those pairs of words to make sentences that contained the explained elements. We also had to turn them into a narrative tale.

The activity was very interesting and exciting. I had a great time listening to everyone’s stories. Sir also gave everyone tips and tricks to make our own stories more eye-catching and interesting than others.

Some stories were very breathtaking and exceptional to hear. There were many things I learned in the class, such as doing things without anyone’s help and making our minds more playful with words and sentences. Creating such tales and completing such tasks can make our brains much better at using words.

Next, we listened to a story titled “What You Are Looking For Is in the Library.” The story is about a person who wanted to find something. When she asked the librarian, the librarian gave her a book to read. It was a fascinating story and really surprised me. The story had a mix of emotions and values, and together they were a perfect combination.

The story also had twists and turns that highlighted important parts and made it more interesting. Honestly, it was a perfect, amazing, and thoughtful story that had deep truth hidden in it. This story is for people of all ages and can be read easily by everyone.

The Importance of Reading in a Student’s Life - Sunbeam School Ballia

Jai Hind all,

The discussion on the book My Family and Other Animals helped me understand how reading can deepen our understanding of nature, family relationships, and human emotions. Through the session, I realised that books are not only helpful for academic learning but also play an essential role in shaping our thoughts and feelings.

The session encouraged me to read more carefully and reflect on the messages embedded in stories. Overall, the reading session was enjoyable and informative, and it helped me understand the true importance of reading in a student’s life.

Reflections on Today's Sunday Session

At the beginning of the session, Kartik Sir taught us two important aspects of book writing through examples and small tasks: creating the mood of a story and describing a person without actually naming them. Later, Brinda Ma’am introduced a new chapter from the new book, which was based entirely on these two concepts. It served as a perfect example of what we had just learned. Through this session, I learnt new things, new words, and new ways of writing. Along with them, Jugjiv Sir, Vikram Sir, Minakshi Ma’am, and Manisha Ma’am all contributed to making the session smooth and engaging.

Lessons from the Guru–Chela Tradition - Sunbeam School Suncity

After watching this episode, I understood the guru–chela (mentor–seeker) relationship as a living bond rather than just a title. The way Guru Nanak ji patiently prepared Bhai Lehna to receive the "spiritual baton" showed me that a real teacher quietly shapes a student's character over time—not through miracles, but through daily example, guidance, and trust.

Mayank Malani

The video made me reflect on my own attitude as a learner. Bhai Lehna's humility, obedience, and willingness to do any seva without questioning reminded me that authentic learning requires surrendering the ego and openness to correction. I realised that if I want real growth, I must accept feedback as Bhai Lehna did—seeing it as a blessing that polishes me, not as an insult.

Adwik Gupta

I was especially moved by the idea that Guru Nanak ji chose Bhai Lehna as his successor based on inner spiritual merit rather than blood relations or social status. In a world where preference is often given to family and power, this decision taught me that leadership should be given to the most deserving and sincere person, no matter their background. It challenged me to rethink how I judge people and to value inner qualities over external labels.

Ajeya Vardhan

The visuals of Guru Nanak ji travelling to different places and interacting with people of many beliefs helped me see oneness in a practical way, not just as a big word. Seeing him engage respectfully in dialogue with diverse communities made me realise that I must also listen to and learn from those who think differently, instead of trying to prove myself right all the time. This inspired me to see diversity in my classroom and society as an opportunity to grow spiritually.

Divyansh Kumar

The episode changed the way I look at success in life. Guru Nanak Ji and Bhai Lehna showed that the highest success is not money or fame, but living a life of service, compassion, and truth. Their example motivated me to set goals that include helping others, being honest, and staying connected to the Divine, rather than chasing only marks, careers, and material achievements.

Sunday Reading Session and YES Workshop - Sunbeam Bhagwanpur

Today, we learnt about the foundations of effective communication in the YES workshop by Kartik Sir. I learnt about the importance of maintaining humility and sensitivity to become a better speaker. Other than this, being alert to factors like positive body language, eye contact, and smiling makes us connect better with our audience.

Then, in the chapter Artificial Environment, we learnt how urban spaces can actually contribute to preserving animals, especially the endangered ones. I learnt about agrarian deserts, which changed my idea about deserts being arid regions and lacking trees.

Shristi Prasad

Sunbeam Bhagwanpur

In today's YES workshop by Karthik Sir, we got to learn about the importance of maintaining communication skills. We also learnt about the various essentials of communication, like sensitivity, humility, and sounding compelling enough to ensure effective, positive communication. If one maintains eye contact, body language, appropriate hand gestures, and a smile on one’s face, along with being aware of the content one is speaking, one will engage the crowd better. To become a better public speaker, besides understanding one’s crowd or audience, one needs to develop these qualities in oneself.

In the chapter Artificial Environment, Brinda Ma’am read out the disadvantages and advantages of artificial environments that affect animals. Besides talking about pet houses, cages, and zoos, we also learnt about deserts like agrarian deserts that have thousands of plants and house several animals, making us call them animal farms.

We also learnt about the role of animals in human activities like farms for grazing and logging. Sometimes animals are not happy because no one asks them whether they wish to work or not, so we as humans should not lose our humanity while forcing animals to work for us.

Sunbeam Bhagwanpur

In a world where AI is taking the lead in guiding the generation on how to present themselves suitably—be it an office presentation, a simple debate, or a speech delivery at the morning assembly—genuine human communication is suffering a setback. Humans are failing to communicate their emotions to each other through words. Wasn't verbal communication a primitive method among humans? So why are we failing today?

We had Kartik Sir in the Sunday YES session with us to tell the generation the basic pointers for effective communication—things like sensitivity, humility, being astute, sounding compelling enough, and such that one remembers our words and understands us.

Today's generation is indeed very sensitive. So, to convey our thoughts without hurting anyone's emotions is a big deal. Social media is a boon and a bane that way. Chatbots are there to emotionally sustain us as well as destroy us. Therefore, it is indeed very important to ensure that we are becoming better at communicating so that we have less dependency on AI for communication.

Meaningful Sunday School Session - Sunbeam Ballia

Today I attended a Good School Alliance session with Kartik Sir, Jugjiv Sir, and Manisha Ma’am. They spoke about good communication, empathy, kindness, and being humble with everyone. In the end, there was a question-and-answer session where students shared their doubts, and they answered them with a lot of patience and clarity. It was a simple but very positive and inspiring session.

— Ishika Singh, 9th A

In today’s session, firstly, Mr Jugjiv Singh Sir introduced the great personality, Mr Kartik Sir. He told us about the “Construct Communication Paradigm,” in which he explained the types of communication. He also told us about:

1. Competition

2. Noise

3. Deficit

4. Sameness

5. Apathy

6. AI

7. Global Stage

And the main topic of today’s session was communication.

This session was really awesome 

I really thank Mr Jugjiv Singh Sir for giving us this amazing opportunity to learn new things and improve our vocabulary 

— Talat Bano, 5C, Sunbeam School Ballia

Today’s Good School Alliance session was the most unique and interesting session. In the first session, we had a very special personality with us — Mr Kartik Sir. He is a writer, educator, and mental health advocate. The first session was about “Effective Communication.” In this class, I learnt about empathy, kindness, and many more values. This class helped me communicate with people positively.

We also had Mrs Brinda Ma’am. She read the story “Inner Life of Animals.” Through this story, we learnt about the feelings of animals. I also learnt how deep and strong the emotions of animals are, just like humans.

At the end, I would like to share that both the sessions were really inspiring, knowledgeable, and full of emotions.

 Thank you!!

Honesty: A Timeless Value from the Good School Session- Sunbeam School, Ballia

Today's Reflection on Good School Session

Today's session was truly inspiring and encouraging. In our reading session with Manisha Ma’am and Jugjiv Sir, we explored the book “ईमानदारी” (Honesty) through the exemplary lives of Lal Bahadur Shastri, Abraham Lincoln, and others. We learned about the significance of honesty in a student’s life and how parents and teachers can instill this value in young minds.

One key takeaway that resonated with me was: “We should always be honest and follow the right path, regardless of what others think about us.” This lesson has left a lasting impact on me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to reflect on it.

Thank you to Manisha Ma’am and Jugjiv Sir for such a thought-provoking session.

Jai Hind, dear readers

I am Aayush Kumar Singh, writing this reflection on the session taken by Manisha Khanna Ma’am.

In today’s session, Manisha Ma’am shared how people still carry deep faith and honesty. She told us how, during namaz, shopkeepers leave their shops open and go for prayer. Customers come, take what they need, and leave the money there before going.

This really touched me because it shows that even in today’s world, where we often hear about dishonesty and selfishness, there are still places and people where trust is alive. It is inspiring to see that values like honesty, responsibility, and respect are still being practiced today.

The session reminded me that trust is not just an old value but something we can live by even now. If we act truthfully and responsibly, we can also strengthen this culture of faith and honesty in our surroundings.

Sunbeam Lahartara: Reading Our Minds Aloud

 

Educating with Empathy.pptx by Manisha Khanna

At our Sunday School, we immerse ourselves in a vibrant environment where every story and activity teaches us valuable lessons and resonates with our hearts. If we could share our thoughts, you would see how deeply we cherish each moment spent together.

During the Youth Engaging Society Workshop with Shikha Ma’am, we discovered the importance of empathy. We learned to listen to others patiently and to understand feelings beyond our own. We practised kindness, not only through our words but also through simple acts that can brighten someone's day. We also realized the value of determination—when challenges arise, courage and persistence guide us toward success.

Our Sunday School experience was more than a class; it was a gentle reminder that values shape who we are. We carry these lessons forward, proud to be Sunbeamians who believe in touching lives with empathy, spreading kindness, and facing every challenge with determination.

Beyond Marks: Raising World Ready Children - Sunbeam School, Lahartara

 

Confident Kids, Strong Futures - MY GOOD SCHOOL .pptx by students of Sunbeam School, Lahartara and posted on their behalf by Manisha Khanna, our GSA Principal.

In today's fast-paced and competitive world, every parent must ask themselves an important question: Are we only preparing our children for exams, or are we also preparing them for life? Good marks may open doors, but confidence, emotional strength, decision-making skills, effective communication, and strong moral values help children thrive. These qualities empower them to handle challenges, build meaningful relationships, and navigate the complexities of adulthood independently. A balanced upbringing means teaching children not just how to study, but also how to live with purpose, empathy, and resilience. Let's move beyond textbooks and help our children become well-rounded individuals ready to face the world with strength and wisdom.

Jataka Tales & The Hidden Life of Trees

How can trees create their own microclimate?

The author explains that trees create leafy humus that can store moisture, and their branches can slow winds and create calmer air within the forest. Over time, these conditions reduce evaporation and create moist soil with better water storage, allowing more trees to thrive.

 by (Sanskriti- VI)

In "The Peacock Wings," what I gather is that our life choices should prioritize goodness, embracing both the flaws and beauty of others.

by (Aadya- VI)

Woody Climate Control

When the annual leaffall of beech trees occurs, it creates an alkaline humus that has the capacity to store a significant amount of water.

People Should Value A Good Life - Shubhangi Kashyap

What is a good life?

It is more than just the accumulation of possessions or the attainment of fleeting pleasures, the good life is a tapestry woven from the threads of happiness, fulfilment and purpose. It’s about cherishing the simple joys that enrich our days and nourish our souls. 

The good life is not a destination, but a journey ...

A journey of discovery and growth…

“In life’s sweet dance, we find our song,

Each moment fleeting, yet ever strong,

Cherish the joy, embrace the strife,

For in the good life, we find true life…”

Reading For Pleasure and more from Sunbeam School Lahartara

READING FOR PLEASURE

We say that books are our best friends. to become their friends, we have to read them.

Reading gives us the opportunity to build ourselves; it helps us stand in front of people confidently.

People say that real life is not similar to books; it is all rubbish. Books prepare us for our lives. I also prefer to read books because they help me to be more creative, confident, and charismatic from within.

WE GET LITERATE BY STUDYING, AND WE GET EDUCATED BY READING.

LEARNING CAN ONLY HAPPEN IF THE LEARNING ATMOSPHERE IS POSITIVE

Life is no "brief candle" for me. It is a sort of "suffering torch," which I have a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before passing it on to future generations.

I am also exploring as much as I can.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TEACHERS IN OUR LIVES

Teachers are those who make children knowledgeable and cultured. A teacher is a beautiful gift given by God, as God is the creator of the whole world and a teacher is the creator of an entire nation. A teacher is such an important creature in the life of a student, who, through his knowledge, patience, and love, gives a strong shape to a student’s whole life. A teacher shares academic knowledge and ethical values and assimilates moral values that help us shape our personalities as better human beings. Teachers play a major role in shaping students' lives and futures.

My Golden Journey With My Good School and more from Sunbeam Hostel Lahartara

My Golden Journey With My Good School

At first, I wasn't interested in reading. I thought that it was only a waste of time. Still, at the age of 12, my grandfather recommended a book. He said that if you like to study political science and history, you should read "Why I Assassinated Mahatma Gandhi" by "Nathuram Godse." I gave it a try, and I loved it. After that, I read more and more books, but when I joined My Good School, I felt that this was the place for me. Like we say, 'Birds with the same feather flock together'. For readers, My Good School is a paradise from my perspective. A famous quote by Fran Lebowitz that I carry in my mind is, "Think before you speak and read before you think." Every Sunday, I learn a new perspective to go with. A huge thanks to My Good School for this because the school teaches me values to live by.

How Learning Can Happen

Learning happens when we start experiencing. The learning process begins when we start experiencing things in our surroundings. Whether through reading or listening. When we read it, it is the biggest weapon to win all the battles of life. Listening to TED talks and podcasts increases our learning, and we learn new words.

Learning always makes a change in oneself, so never stop reading, writing, and listening.

"Learning is never done without mistakes and passion".

Diyanshu Agarwal IX-D

 

No one has achieved success in the past or present and has not done any hard work. Also, they had yet to achieve success on their first attempt. Success comes to those who find out their mistakes and improve on them. They take the time and opportunities to come; they create the opportunities and manage the time to do so. This is the best and easiest way to achieve good things in their lives.
