Our School — A Happy Place

EVS

Our School — A Happy Place

School is one of the most important places in a child's life — not just for reading and writing, but for learning to live together, share, cooperate, and grow as individuals.

  • Parts of a school:
  • Classrooms: Where lessons are taught; we read, write, ask questions, and learn.
  • Library: Filled with books for exploring knowledge beyond textbooks.
  • Laboratory: Equipment for science experiments and hands-on activities.
  • Playground: For games, exercise, and developing teamwork.
  • Office: Where the principal and staff manage school activities.
  • Kitchen/Canteen: Where mid-day meals are prepared and served.
  • People in a school:
  • Principal: Head of the school; manages everything.
  • Teachers: Teach, guide, and support students every day.
  • Librarian: Manages the library; helps students find books.
  • Support staff (peons, cooks, office staff): Keep the school running smoothly.

What do we learn?
We learn subjects — Hindi, English, Maths, EVS, Art, Music, and P.E. We also learn values like respect, honesty, kindness, and teamwork. These prepare us to be responsible citizens.

School rules: Rules keep the school safe, clean, and organised. Coming on time respects teachers and classmates. Keeping the school clean benefits everyone. Discipline learned here helps us throughout life.

Example 1

Students visit the library weekly to borrow books, improving language skills and imagination.

Example 2

During morning assembly, students sing the national anthem, say a prayer, and hear a thought for the day — building unity and discipline.

Example 3

On Sports Day, children run races and play team games, developing fitness, teamwork, and fair play.

Example 4

In science class, students test whether sandy or clay soil absorbs water faster — a hands-on lab experiment.

Example 5

Riya saw the school dustbin overflowing and informed the peon immediately. This small act shows responsibility and care for the school community.

Common mistakes

Students often think only classroom lessons matter. Activities on the playground, in the library, and during assemblies are equally important for overall growth.

Summary

School is a happy community where we learn academics, values, and life skills. Every person — teacher, principal, or support staff — plays a vital role. Respecting everyone and following rules makes our school a joyful place.
