Storytelling: A Bridge to Creativity and Connection - Sunbeam School Ballia

Jai Hind, everyone,

This was my third session (though I could join only for the last 20–25 minutes), and once again, it was amazing—full of insights on reading techniques, explanation patterns, and the art of weaving stories through narration.

Today’s session reminded me that storytelling is more than just words—it’s a bridge between minds, turning ideas into experiences. When students share their visions, they don’t just imagine the future; they begin to shape it. Imagination fuels possibility, and stories breathe life into it. Our role is to listen, encourage, and believe in the power of their dreams.

Overall, the session was truly fruitful, offering many practical methods we can adopt in our own teaching.

Thank you, and Jai Hind.

Jai Hind, everyone,

Every Sunday’s session leaves me inspired, and today was no different. The techniques shared for reading, explaining, and narrating stories opened up new ways to engage learners. It proved that storytelling goes beyond speaking—it builds connections, sparks creativity, and helps shape young minds for the future.

Truly, it was a rewarding session with plenty of ideas to bring into the classroom.

Sunday Sessions that Inspire Reading and Thinking - Sunbeam School, Ballia

True growth begins when we take charge of our actions, work on bettering ourselves, and inspire others through what we do. By being responsible, open to improvement, and setting a positive example, we create a ripple of change that reaches far beyond us. The best part of today’s session was the focus on quality time rather than quantity. During the session, 

I shared this thought: "If you want to buy jeans without looking at the price, you must study without looking at the time."

Jai Hind, dear readers,

I am Aayush Kumar Singh from Class 10 A, and this is my reflection on today’s session.

Study like you’re shopping for a luxury item—focus on the quality, not the cost. The best results don’t come from watching the clock, but from immersing yourself completely in the work.

Another way to put it: Dedicate yourself to learning with the same unwavering focus you’d have when purchasing something without looking at the price tag. True wealth isn’t measured in hours spent, but in the depth of knowledge gained.

Or simply: When you’re truly invested in your goals, you stop counting the hours you put in. Success isn’t about the quantity of time you spend, but the quality of the effort you make.

Thank you, and Jai Hind.

I am Saksham Gupta of Class 6E, and I am going to tell you about the session named "My Good School." It takes place every Sunday to help us improve our reading skills. This platform not only strengthens our reading but also sharpens our thinking power.

About the Story

Today, the story was "Weathering the Storm" by our mentor, Ms. Brinda Ghosh. She is an amazing teacher, and I really enjoyed the way she told the story.

I would also recommend that other readers join these classes every Sunday. They will definitely help improve your reading.

Reflections on the Travels of Guru Nanak Dev Ji - Lotus Petals Senior Secondary School

LOTUS PETAL SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL.pdf by Manisha Khanna


Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s journeys taught us that the world is our classroom. Meeting people of different faiths and cultures, he shared messages of kindness, equality, and truth.

We learned that wisdom grows when we listen, respect differences, and stand against injustice. His travels remind us to live with compassion and curiosity, seeing every person as part of one human family.

Like petals of a Lotus, we are each unique — yet together, we can spread light, just as he did.
