Apart from the regular and EVS classes held through November 2017, two very significant days were recently observed at our Sri Aurobindo Siksha Kendra (school) in Bishnupur.
On November 17, the Mother’s Maha Samadhi day was observed. The school organized a small programme on that day commencing with meditation in front of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother’s photographs. Following this, a teacher gave a talk on the Mother’s life and explained how she plays an important role in our lives and how she has contributed to the society at large. A video of her life was also shared with the children.
The students and staff of the school started Siddhi day on November 24 with a small meditation. The spiritual significance of the day was also explained to the students.
The students, with the help of the teachers, engaged in the following activities in November 2017 at the school: Learning conversation in English; identifying and learning about different plants and pasting leaves during the EVS class; planting winter plants and becoming conscious of cleanliness by cleaning the school premises.
On November 4, a parents–teachers meeting was held. Meanwhile from November 6th, the students prepared for the third term examination scheduled to start on December 1.
