Students‬ of Std 8B conducted a ‪‎classdebate‬ on ‘Advantages and Disadvantages of Television.’ for their English FA Activity. While some students strongly believed that TV deteriorates the mind, others thought it is a necessity for daily life recreation and education.Mrs. Neepa Gajjar, English Teacher, said, "This debate helped the students to be confident, improve their language and learn public speaking skills.”

Muskan Khazanchi, standing for the debate said, "Television is a stress buster for people. The educational channels like national geographic, discovery and animal planet inspires us to learn about the world. TV is also one of the most effective means of recreation and education in the remote villages of the country. On the other hand, Kavya Singh, stood against the notion, "TV is a nuisance for people. Humanity and sensitivity has taken a back seat and TV has become a game of TRP ratings. The programmes have become crude and violent and less educative. It kills the imagination and creativity and adversely affects physical health.”

A healthy debate helps the students to think for themselves, be confident and have opinions on a subject. Holding on to ones opinion while respecting the other's point of view makes them well rounded leaders and citizens of the country.

The models include natural and man made ‪‎resources‬. Forests, Volcano, Mountain, Cave, Water Bodies, Wind Mill, Soil as Water purifier, Petroleum and Houses. "The students presentation skills were good.

With the increase in population and depleting resources, this activity helped the students gain an understanding about the types of resources, efficient use and various measures to save them. While natural resources are obtained from the biosphere like forests and their products, animals, birds, fish and other marine organisms, minerals such as coal and petroleum.

All children need is a little help, a little hope, and somebody who believes in them. :) We recognize that each child is unique and deserves special care. Whenever our kids are confused, feel disappointed, or doubt their capabilities, we are always present, like a rock, to support them. Sometimes we act like a mirror to show them their true worth. This colorful chart outside our kindergarten class displays the list of powerful affirmations for our kids to always remember ♥♥♥♥♥ #ccis_2016 #kindergarten #kidsareunique #colorfulboards #studentsareawesome #ahmedabad #gujarat #educationforall (at Cosmos Castle International School)

Wooden Twigs, Banyan and Peepal Leaves, Ice Cream Sticks, Tiny Green plants, Fruits and Vegetables were some of the commonly used resources.

Students Speak:

“I used to observe the fallen leaves of Arak trees in my village of Mangalore, Karnataka. Unlike anything I’ve ever seen the leaves were so different and hard in texture. I decided to use those fallen leaves to make a hand fan! – Sinchanaa Sandeshkumar

Jainil Patel says, “I’ve made a hut with the help of wood and ice cream sticks. It took me 6 hours to complete the model. The hard work was worth it! ”

Snigdha Saraswat says, “I’ve made a dining table using peepal tree leaves, cucumber and watermelon! It looks so beautiful and refreshing!”

  Dwij says, “I like instruments. I had visualised the coconuts as Tablas and my visualisation led to this creation. I’m happy to see my vision turn into reality.”

I’ve noticed something about people who make a difference in the world: They hold the unshakable conviction that individuals are extremely important, that every life matters. They get excited over one smile. They are willing to feed one stomach, educate one mind, and treat one wound. They aren’t determined to revolutionize the world all at once; they’re satisfied with small changes. Over time, though, the small changes add up. Sometimes they even transform cities and nations, and yes, the world.
