From T he Chief Editor's Desk
It gives me immense pleasure to bring out this
issue of our newsletter 'Eagle Eye’. The school
magazine is the mirror that reflects everything
that is happening in the school. At times it becomes very important
for those parents who are not able to attend all the school
programmes because of their professional commitments. You will be
glad to know more about the school and the various activities that
your children are involved in through these pages.
I'd like to voice a deep-seated concern through
this page with the hope that it penetrates the
consciousness of some, if not all. Today,
youngsters are so hooked on to various forms of
Social Media such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Wechat,
Twitter and the like, that they would probably find themselves totally
at a loss if it went off the air for a single day!! Entertainment has been
whittled down to our fingertips, thanks to Temple Run, Candy Crush,
Hay Day etc. and the beautiful English language has been snipped to
a bare minimum!
Our students are a reflection of our own dreams and actions.
We need to stop for a moment and look deeply within ourselves. Are
we really enhancing the quality of our lives by letting gadgets and
their gimmicks rule our lives? Seriously, the time has come to resist
frivolous technology and adapt nature as our teacher. The reverence
for learning needs to be rejuvenated and imbibed in its authentic and
pure form.
Mr. Martin Luther King Jr. had once said, "Intelligence plus character;
that is the goal of true education".
At Presidency School, we aspire to create an atmosphere of reverence
for learning. Our School philosophy is driven by the thought of overall
well being of each student. Students must feel secure, intrigued,
enthused, engaged & empowered leading to a great feeling of being
happy & confident.
I am glad to inform you that a group of students from classes 6 to 9 will
be visiting NASA, USA during the summer holidays in May/June 2015.
This will be a regular feature of Presidency School now onwards. My
team of dedicated teachers is all set to begin with the new academic
year 2015-2016. You will certainly notice lots of changes in the
functioning of the school, especially in academics, in the scholastic
and co-scholastic areas.
Great news for parents residing in Ajmer as a new Pre-Primary branch
of Presidency School i.e. PRESIDENCY KIDZ has opened at Vaishali
Nagar. The new session will also begin from the month of April 2015.
I would like to thank Ms.Minnu Puri, the Chief Editor and her team of
student and teacher writers and editors for bringing out this
newsletter within the committed time frame.
This issue marks the end of the academic year. Beginning with The
Literary Week, we meandered through a maze of activities and
events including the patriotic National Unity Day, our Hon'ble PM's
pet project Swachch Bharat Abhiyan, the solemn Sadbhawana Rally,
the colourful and vibrant Annual Day Function and ended it with the
thrilling and energetic Annual Sports Day.
I would like to make a special mention of all the exceptionally exciting
educational trips that our children have made during this session.
The Jaipur literature fest and the momentous interaction with
Dr.A.P.J.Kalam, the informative visit to the Club Exhibition at
Sanskriti, the School and the amazing trip to Degana to see the
incredible Biodiversity Science Express. I'm quite sure that the
students scheduled to go to NASA are all walking on air in anticipation
of the oncoming midterm excursion in June.
As we prepare for the new session that started on 6th April, we can all
look forward to more exciting trips, exhilarating inter-house activities
and electrifying interactive sessions.
Goodbye till we meet again.
Wish you all a very fulfilling and joyful reading experience.

Activity Based Learning
SUBJECT: ENGLISH
TYPE OF ACTIVITY: ROLE PLAY
OBJECTIVE: Enhancing confidence, being more articulate
and expressive.
TEACHING METHOD: The students of class 5 performed an
interesting play titled 'Tenali paints a horse.' The script was
written by the students themselves .It was the first time
that the children volunteered to do the role play on their
own which was appreciable. It was a play about Tenali, a
court poet and jester in the court of King Krishnadevaraya.
He was famous for his wit and intelligence. Through his
quick wit and presence of mind he was able to solve the
mystery of the painted horse .
LEARNING OUTCOME: This enactment helped the children
in many ways. First was to boost the confidence of the
participants and above this was the unique fact that
children made an attempt at writing the script as well,
which required writing grammatically correct sentences as
well as expressive dialogues.
SUBJECT: MATHEMATICS
TYPE OF ACTIVITY : FRACTION BOT
OBJECTIVE:Students of class 5 did an interesting
mathematical activity called the 'Fraction Bot' to clear
the concept of Fraction and also learnt to co-relate with
fraction by analyzing the number of shapes used in
Fraction Bot.
PROCEDURE: The class was divided into groups and each
group was given 4 types of shapes, to make any fractional
figure/structure. Some of them made a hut, others opted
for a vehicle etc. In the end they counted the number of
shapes used by them to make the particular structure. They
wrote the number of shapes in terms of fractions. In this
way they learnt representation of fractions. The group that
made a good structure scored 10 points.
LEARNING OUTCOME: Working in groups helped the
children to work as a team. This was an excellent and
unforgettable method of learning the fundamentals of
mathematics.
The Choral Speakers strike a pose.
SUBJECT: ENGLISH
TYPE OF ACTIVITY: CHORAL SPEAKING
OBJECTIVE: You've often heard of choirs and chorus that are
popular methods for perfecting voice modulation, accent,
expression and pronunciation and are used by schools all over
the universe. However, the latest trend that is fast catching on
is Choral Speaking.
PROCEDURE: This basically means speaking a set of lines, for
example a poem or even a story, together as a group. The trick
here is to choreograph the activity in such a way that it comes
out as a melodious recitation with actions!! Choral speaking
was conducted in class 4 where the students recited a poem
titled 'I Saw'.
LEARNING OUTCOME: This form of activity inspires a child to
speak with confidence. It sharpens reflexes and works
wonders on teamwork!
Students display their Maths Activity sheets.

SUBJECT: SCIENCE
TYPE OF ACTIVITY : LEARNING ABOUT DIFFERENT TYPES
OF SOUNDS.
OBJECTIVE: The activity was conducted to make the
students aware and appreciate the different kinds of
sounds one hears everyday.
PROCEDURE: Students enjoyed the sound activity by
striking half filled water bowls made of different materials
like metal,iron, plastic, steel and glass with a wooden stick.
LEARNING OUTCOME: Through this activity, students
learnt to differentiate the various sounds that different
vessels produce. It also proved to be an eye opener for
many who could relate many instances where these sounds
are used; for instance during fight scenes in movies or
interspersed within the lyrics of songs.
Students get to know their rights and duties.

Constitution of India.
PROCEDURE: The students of class IV were asked to
write a list of their rights which they enjoy in school
and at home and also detail their duties which they
have to fulfill in school as well as at home.
LEARNING OUTCOME: All the students came up with
interesting rights and duties regarding their studies,
playtime and responsibilities towards their family and
school. This activity helped them in understanding
their basic rights and duties in an easy manner that will
help them to become a responsible human being and
to lead a disciplined life.

SUB: SOCIAL SCIENCE
ACTIVITY: PREPARING A FIRST AID BOX
OBJECTIVE: Being prepared for an emergency
METHOD OF TEACHING: The students have a lesson on
Natural Disasters in their syllabus and keeping in mind the
aftermath of an emergency, it was appropriate for each
student to be aware of how to behave in an emergency and
to be quick on the feet. They were told to prepare a First Aid
Box and how to recognize the OTC medicines and
administer treatment if required. The students were asked
to bring a plastic box that was filled with basic materials
such as antiseptic lotion (e.g Dettol or Savlon), cotton,
bandages, a strip of Band-Aid, ointments and various types
of painkillers as well.
LEARNING OUTCOME: This helped the students to know
how initial treatment can be given at the time of
emergency. The students have been using it whenever
there is an injury in class.
Preparing for an emergency: The First Aid Box
SUBJECT: MATHEMATICS
TYPE OF ACTIVITY: TANGRAMS, THE CHINESE PUZZLE
OBJECTIVE: This activity teaches students to give
instructions that are clear, precise and easy to understand.
Tangrams, also known as the “Seven Boards Of Skill” is a
dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat shapes. By using all
seven pieces, a specific shape can be made. Following is a
report of the activity by a participating student.
PROCEDURE: “We did this activity that was full of great fun
for all of us. Our class was divided into two groups. Each
group had an instructor who was instructing us what to do. I
was in the group where we had to make a man running and
a cat. We also tried to make a “T”.
Tangrams are classic puzzles that attract the young and
old. The word Tangrams is derived from two words called
“Tang” which was a Chinese Dynasty and the Greek word
“Gamma” that is a synonym of Graph. To form a Tangram
the seven pieces assembled together are:
2 Large Triangles, 1 Medium Right Angled Triangle,2 Small

Preprimary Activities
The Preprimary students were involved in a host of
activities that were a perfect blend of academics and
games.
I LOVE TO COLOUR:
To exhibit the talents of our little ones a Colouring
Competition was conducted where the participants of
LKG had to colour the picture of a fish whereas
students of class UKG had to colour the picture of an
elephant.
I LOVE TO RECITE:
Poetry is an important form of communication and
introduces young children to different themes and
feelings. It's also a good way of encouraging children to
read. The students of class LKG and UKG showcased
their recitation skills in the English elocution
competition that enabled them to voice their thoughts
with more clarity.
I LOVE STORY TELLING:
A Story Telling Competition was held in LKG and UKG
on to how develop the English speaking skills of all the
students.The participants spoke clearly and with
confidence. Parents also cooperated by preparing
them for the competition.
FANCY DRESS COMPETITION:
A fancy dress competition for class 1 with the theme
“What I like to eat” turned out to be quite a visual treat
as students came dressed as fruits like grapes and
pineapple. Class II students came as Our Helpers and
we could see a flurry of newspaper vendors, postmen,
drivers, nurses and doctors. The participants enacted
their favourite 'helper' with a statement about
themselves.

BIRD FREEDOM DAY
Birds are quite naturally interesting to humans,
earthbound creatures that we are, and for poets in
particular, the world of birds and its endless variety of
colours, shapes, sizes, sounds and motions has long
been an immensely rich source of inspiration, symbol
and metaphor because they fly, they carry associations
of freedom and spirit on their wings. A group of
preprimary students dressed up as birds urged
everyone to celebrate Bird Freedom Day, taking a
pledge of never caging birds ever.
Set Me Free! Students dress up as birds.

We celebrated 'The Literary Week' with great joy and good cheer.
The 5-day festival began with a reading activity 'DEAR'- Drop
Everything And Read where all the students, teachers and helping
staff were handed a book by the Librarian and everyone read with
riveted attention. Voracious readers made themselves
comfortable in the corridors, stairs, classrooms and the library as
well. The true bookworms were the drivers who lay under the
shade of their buses and read with pleasure.
Feeling proud of their handy work, students show their book-marks.

The Book Fair, organized by Book Tractor ran for two days.
Parents as well as students browsed through racks of books
on a variety of genres as well as reference books, toys and
games.This day was also observed as 'Generous Day' where
students brought their old Story Books and donated them to
the children of the Govt. School located in the
neighbourhood.
The school invited a young author in the 'Author Meet'
event where the students got the opportunity to meet and
interact with teenage budding writer Ms Simar Malhotra, a
student of class 12 from 'Step by Step School, Jaipur'. Her
book “There is a Tide” has been released by renowned poet
Shri Javed Akhtar. Students, especially those who are
passionate about books, queried the young and bubbly
author on her inspirations, whom she admires, writer's block
and above all, release of her next book. We are extremely
thankful to Miss Simar for signing her book for our library.

PADMASHREE MS.RANJANA GAUHAR MESMERIZES WITH HER PERFORMANCE
The students and faculty of Presidency School were given a rare treat as danseuse Padmashree Mrs Ranjana Gauhar,
exponent of the Odissi Dance Art held the audience spellbound with her mesmerizing and scintillating performance. She
began with an explanation on the origin of this dance form and how it was earlier known as mhari or great woman and
performed by devdasis. The Odissi Art was given a new lease of life and came into its own at the beginning of India's
independence. The temple dance came into a new incarnated form when Shri Kalicharan Patnayak, a respected poet of
Orissa coined the term Odissi. She further explained the various postures of Odissi dance known as Battu, Chaak and
Tribhangi. The artist-extraordinaire gave a recital that was magical and thrilling. After the performance, Ms. Gauhar
interacted with the students where she answered questions about her inspirations, her role model and her most memorable
experiences. The School management is thankful to SPICMACAY for the continued support and collaboration.

Educational Visits
SCIENCE BUFFS AT A SCIENCE EXPO
A TRIP TO THE WORLD'S LARGEST LITERARY EVENT
Sanskriti the School invited us to see their 'Club Exhibition' and
classes 7 to 9 were given the opportunity to attend it. The
exhibition had a variety of segments such as the Computer,
Maths, English, Science, Social-Science, Crafts, Science,
Commerce and the Art and Craft section. The computer section
displayed presentations on Viruses and the Environment .The
Math's section contained models, charts and teaching aids that
looked interesting and easy to understand. There were 2D and 3D
working models based on the angle of elevation and depression.
In the English section, there were funny newspapers, tongue
twisters, books and authors, the shortest ghost story and many
more! The Science section comprised of working models
depicting all the principles and theories of light and the
functioning of hydraulic brakes, magnetic cranes, submarines,
rockets, solar boat and perfectly functioning Anemometer. The
Social-Science club showcased charts covering topics from
history as well as geography. Harappan and Egyptian civilizations
were recreated by means of models depicting the Great Bath as
well as replicas of utensils, clay toys, mummies and more. This
section also displayed clothes and ornaments worn by the people
of Harappan Civilization. The crafts section had a wide range of
handmade articles right from penholders to bed sheets. A wide
range of wall hangings were on display such as hanging letter
holders, jute wheels, and organdy flowers arranged as wall
hangings, sand paintings and there were even models made of
bread! The Commerce section had very beautifully crafted
models made of thermocol and chart paper and buildings, which
were made of glass pieces. It was a unique and well laid out
exhibition and we would be keen to attend similar exhibitions in
future.

The Jaipur Literature Festival held every year in the
State's Capital, is an event that is intellectual as well as
glamorous, boasting of the presence of the 'Who's
Who' of the literary world. Where the afficianados of
literature can rub shoulders with celebrities like John
Grisham, Arundhati Roy, Amitabh Bachchan and
many more!! I was fortunate to be a part of the group
from Presidency School to attend the Jaipur Literature
Festival this year. We were fortunate to meet
acclaimed writer Sir V.S Naipaul who recited many
incidences about his life and his works.
The most memorable moment for us was the
opportunity to interact with the Missile Man, former
President of India Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam. He spoke
about his book the "Ignited Minds” and also talked
passionately about issues like Energy Conservation,
Skill Development, Use of Solar Energy, and also
encouraged us to live by the value of Never Give Up!
He said that the youth will face many problems in their
lives, but if they work hard, they will definitely attain
their goal. He also talked about staying fit physically,
mentally and spiritually. He recommended that one
must walk a lot, eat on time and sleep on time giving
the example of his brother in Rameshwaram, who is 97
years old and living a healthy life.
In 2013 I had met Dr Kalam at his residence along with
the school team. He adeptly evoked scientific & logical
thinking amongst us. And this time in 2015 he again
ignited our minds with values and much more. My
second meeting with Dr Kalam was truly memorable.

A UNIQUE TRAIN OF SCIENCE
The school organized an innovative educational visit to
Degana for the students of classes 6 to 9 to witness the
“Science Express Biodiversity Special” train, which
exhibits various science experiments for students.
Following is a report by a student:
We were thrilled to see the beautiful train with
intriguing pictures and information on thousands of
species of flora and fauna displayed on the windows
like the Barking Deer, Red Panda, Spectacled Cobra,
sea cows, the horseshoe crab, Blood Pheasant, Golden
Langoor, Mithun, the Blue Pansy and Hoolock Gibbon
that were attention grabbers.
There were ten coaches that displayed the ten
different biodiversity zones of India. Each coach had
screens, pictures, models, information boards which
exhibited all the information related to the
topography, flora, fauna, spices, crops and other
unique features of the zone. Students learnt some new
terms like ex-situ (Not a Natural source) and in-situ (A
Natural Source) through the displays.Two coaches
solely displayed the information on 'Climate Change
and Energy Conservation.'
The second phase of the visit was an interactive
session with the subject experts for different concepts
of science. A “Kids Zone” was specially designed for
younger students.
Interesting issues were highlighted like Saving the
Western Ghats, the Gangetic plains and Petroleum
Conservation.
I came across an excellent slogan that said,
“Knowledge is a treasure which cannot be stolen by
anyone. It can only be increased if you share it.”

Rang Barse....
The Colours of Cinema
Students display thrill and exuberance through their performance.
THE FOURTH ANNUAL DAY FUNCTION
The School's 4th Annual Day & Prize Giving Function held on the 6th of December 2014 was celebrated with great fanfare
and jubilations. The theme of this event was a blend of old music and soul-provoking melodrama from movies of the
golden era. Evergreen movies of the yester years which were a source of inspiration and encouragement for all those
who lived in that era and continue to inspire even today, and will do so in the future too.The songs and video clips
included were chosen with extensive research and care. Movies have always had a profound impact on people and the
masters of that golden era gave us unforgettable lyrics and soul shaking scripts that continue to mesmerize even today.
To commemorate the talent of their genius the children of classes 3 to 9 presented a musical drama called RANG
BARSE…..The colours of cinema.
The Chief Guest was Shri S.K. Jain (IPS) Member of the Vigilance Committee and Guest of Honour was Shri Naresh
Salecha (DRM) Ajmer.
14
The show commenced with a shloka, sung by first lady
Mrs.Neelam Singhvi. The Presidency orchestra gave a thrilling
and foot stamping performance by playing old film songs. A
group of children displayed unique talent as they sang an
English medley of popular numbers ranging from the Beatles
to Icona Pop.
The attractive Photo Booth with a life size cut out of famous
movie personalities was a huge draw for parents who thronged
the reception, posing with the Superstars.
The motorcade of the Chief Guest ushered by the riders.
The preprimary and primary students put up a kaleidoscopic
enactment of the age-old tale of the lion and the hare… called
Bungle in the Jungle, with a few unusual twists interspersed
with dance performances that generated immense humour!
The evening gained momentum with the Prize Giving
Ceremony and various addresses made by our Chief Guest and
Guest of Honour. A special guest, Shri V.C.Mehta, who is on the
Board of Governors of Mody University Laxmangarh, sang
eloquent poems on the girl-child.
The finale was the icing on this delicious, scrumptious and
mouth-watering proverbial dish. The sensational Yoga Display
was breathtaking, astounding and awe-inspiring, as more than
60 students from classes 2 to 9 presented yoga postures with
such speed and alacrity that the entire audience got on their
feet to give them a standing ovation!!
The chief guest Shri S.K.Jain being welcomed.
The Chairman Shri Gajendra Singh Singhvi thanked the
parents for their co-operation in making the school stronger in
its roots. Director Ms.Garima Singhvi announced and
introduced the new Principal of Presidency School
Shri Pramod Kumar Ranwaka amidst a thunderous applause.

Science Exhibition
Inaugurated by the Chief Guest Sh. S.K.Jain, the Science
Exhibition, elegantly displayed on the front lawns, was a crowd
puller with its unique models that were elaborately explained by
the students. The parents made a beeline for the venue, spent
time perusing each model and querying about its working and
practical use.
Standing by the schools' ideals of imparting practical knowledge,
the Science Exhibition not only mesmerized the visitors but also
proved to be an enriching experience for all those who had
created them after spending hours on extensive research. The
theme of the Science Fair was an amalgamation of different
concepts of Science, such as Sound, Light, Electromagnetism and
Electricity. New ideas related to Conservation of Energy were
also exhibited and explained confidently by the students.

The 4th Annual Sports Event was celebrated over an entire week where students of all the four houses competed with each other in
various track and field events as well as with students of other schools in skating, cricket and karate.
The finale of this event was conducted at the CRPF grounds in Ajmer on 31st January 2015. DIG Shri Raju Bhargava presided over the

solemnity. Students of all the four houses assisted in the journey of the torch around the 400-meter track that eventually lit the
cauldron signifying perfect unity.
The first drill was a mass yoga display that portrayed all the twelve postures of the Sun Salutation or Surya Namaskar. The pre primary
fun races had some interesting titles such as study buddies, building meadows, rowing your boat, among others. Children competed
with team spirit and enjoyed these innovative games.
The seniors performed drills with shimmering pompoms, swathes of silk representing the colours of the four houses and a thrilling
karate routine that filled everyone's heart with awe & wonder.
The athletic track events were filled with adrenalin pumping excitement as students competed in a 100 and 200-meter race and a
400-meter relay race.
The event concluded with an equestrian show that was a magnificent display of pride, panache and discipline, which mesmerized
the audience.
Guest of honour Shri G.L.Yadav gave an inspirational account of his life's achievement in sports while DIG Shri Raju Bhargava spoke
to the parents about the importance of children maintaining a fit physical life style. Principal Shri Pramod Kumar Ranwaka thanked

POSTER MAKING COMPETITION: A CBSE EVENT
When I was informed that I was selected for the CBSE art
competition, I was over the moon! And my parents were also quite
elated.The competition was held at the Maharana Pratap
Auditorium, Vidyasagar School Campus in Jaipur. The topic of the
competition was “Save Environment, Save Earth” and I put in my
entire energies and imagination to create a gorgeous painting on
the topic. I stood 4th in the state and was awarded the Consolation
Prize by the minister of power, Mr. Pushpendra Singh Ranawat.
My most memorable moment of this event was when I spent
precious time deeply engrossed in the topic as my mind conjured
various images. I sifted through these and created what I think was
my best art work ever!!

ADOLESCENCE WORKSHOP
A workshop was organized for the parents of the children who
have reached their puberty. Mumbai based counselor Mrs.
Bharati Trivedi was invited by the School Management to
skillfully answer queries and offer suggestions. She urged the
parents to understand their children before forming any
opinion about their changing attitudes. This workshop was
very effective as it helped the children as well as the parents to
deal with the hormonal changes that are taking place in their
body. At this age, sometimes the children are very short
tempered or they want all their demands to be fulfilled, but
the workshop enabled the parents to deal with their problems
in an understandable and congenial manner. The workshop
was unique and interactive as it brought both the parents and
the children together on to a common platform to speak and
understand each other.

JODO GYAN WORKSHOP
The Jodo Gyan workshops that are regularly attended by our
mathematics faculty have simple yet effective activities that makes
the subject interesting and easy to understand. Ms.Priya Bhatia and
Ms. Anju Jha attended a three-day workshop in New Delhi where
they were able to imbibe better methods of understanding Integers,
Decimals and Fractions.
A friendly game with Tangrams got the workshop rolling. Using logic
and reasoning for every activity, the teachers were made privy to
many more creative methods of making maths a fun subject for their
students. A new activity called Jodo Straw was introduced where
different types of 3D shapes were made, using a particular base.
Stories were told and used to explain the concepts of addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions.
It was an interesting workshop where various play way methods were
introduced and used. Using the Jodo Gyan tools can simplify
concepts and build an interest towards numbers.

The only planet to support life...EARTH. Have you ever gone into
the depth of this beautiful word called EARTH? Ah! What a
wonderful word this is. Isn't it? Earth has got everything that
makes it a place like heaven. It has got a variety of aqua species
like fish and dolphins swimming in the ocean, monkeys enjoying
bananas on trees, birds flying in the air, a multi-hued rainbow
slashing across the sky, while majestic mountains stand proud
and tall. And amongst this beauty of nature lies a man on the
ground, relaxing under the scorching sun with loads of greenery
around him.
Hey! I'm sorry I should have said a man lying down on the ground
and relaxing with garbage and dirt around him and assuming that
garbage, filth and his friends are maybe the only things present on
this planet EARTH. Yes, that's how it comes in my mind by
watching man living his life around garbage. The early humans
had a great place to live on. They could have heard the whistling of
the breeze in their ears, sounds of waterfalls, and could have
smelled the sweet aroma of flowers. There were many more
species accompanying them earlier that are unfortunately extinct
by now. In earlier times EARTH was a fabulous place to live on but
I'm sorry to say it isn't any more! The reasons for this sad
condition are increase in global warming and deforestation.
However, the biggest reason of all is people have become careless
towards the environment.
But let me tell you a fact that if one can destroy a thing then one
can repair it too and make it much better. I assure you that all is
not lost yet and we can make our beloved
Earth even better than how it used to be. I
suggest everyone to believe in the mantra of
the three R's: reduce, reuse and recycle.
Practice afforestation and become ecofriendly. So now let's take a pledge of making
our mother Earth better than paradise!

ALL ABOUT HTML
You must have heard or read the word “HTML” multitudinous
number of times but must have scoffed it off as another stodgy
computer jargon, used to do some stodgy things. If you think so,
you are definitely wrong because it is not an ordinary
stereotyped language, it is the Hypertext Markup Language
commonly referred to as HTML, and Hypertext means machine
readable text. Markup means to structure it in a specific format.
So HTML is structuring of contents using machine-readable text
that is used to create web pages. I came to know about it a few
weeks ago in my computer class and found it very interesting! It
is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags
enclosed in angle brackets. Web browsers can read HTML files
and compose them into visible or audible web pages. Browsers
do not display the HTML tags and scripts, but use them to
interpret the content of the page. It describes the structure of a
website semantically along with cues for presentation, making it
a markup language, rather than a humdrum programming
language. It was developed by Tim BernersLee and his team and officially launched in
1993, twenty -two years ago! The first
publicly available description of HTML was a
document called "HTML Tags", first
mentioned on the Internet by Berners-Lee in
late 1999

MY MOST CHERISHED MOMENT
MY PET
When I joined Presidency in 2011 I was given a pair of skates as a
welcome gift. I learnt skating in school and in a
short period of time I began to skate skillfully. I
was pleasantly surprised when I heard that I
had been selected first in the District then for
the National competition. My most
memorable moment was when I brought home
a silver medal for my State. However, I wish to
achieve a lot more and bring laurels to my
school.

I have a pet cat and her name is Kitty. She is
white in colour. She has soft hair on her body. I
take her for a walk every morning and evening.
I also take her to the doctor from time to time.
She loves to drink milk and if I don't give it to
her she starts crying. She has two baby kittens.
They both are very naughty and playful. My
Kitty is the best kitty in the world!

MY FAVOURITE BOOK
My favourite book is a Hardy Boys mystery
because it contains lots of action and thrills.
I have read most of it and I like the pictures
on the cover and back cover. There are two
detectives in the book who try to solve the
mystery. I loved the second chapter where a
witch kidnaps a dog and the detective has to
save the pet while the witch is sleeping.
Reading is such good fun and I love Hardy Boys mysteries.

Movie Review
ET “ EXTRA TERRESTRIAL”
Space is a fascinating subject
and science fiction movies have
always managed to thrill
audiences. ET, however, is quite
different form the usual sci-fi
fare, and a must-watch for all
Presidencians. This is a movie to
phone home about with a very
simple plot. A fatherless boy,
Elliot (Henry Thomas), stumbles
upon a stranded alien in his
backyard and decides to help
him get home wherever home
might be, with the help of his
siblings. No adult male is even seen from the waist up until near
the end of the movie. ET, designed by Carlo Rambaldi, guarantees
our affection. And the special effects are amazing for you will
never forget Elliot frantically pedaling a flying cycle with ET sitting
in his front basket, silhouetted against a full moon!
Book Review
THE MONK WHO SOLD HIS FERRARI
Written by Robin Sharma, this inspiring book provides a stepby-step approach to living with greater courage, balance,
abundance and joy. It's a wonderfully crafted fable that tells the
extraordinary story of Julian Mantle, a lawyer, forced to tackle
the spiritual crisis of his out-of-balance life. On a life-changing
odyssey to an ancient culture, he discovers powerful, wise and
practical lessons that teach you to master your mind, follow
your purpose, practice Kaizen, live with discipline, respect your
time, selflessly serve others and embrace the present.

Music Review
There's a new animated movie called 'Home' from Dream Works
and the popular singer Rihanna has sung a song called "Towards
the Sun" featuring sky high vocals, explosive backing music and
glitzy production.
Fitting for an animated film soundtrack, "Towards the Sun" is epic,
with choirs backing the singer in both the verses and choruses as
she sings about overcoming "being burned" and turning your face
towards the sun and carrying on, leaving the shadows far behind.
As the choruses reach high with optimism and hope, Rihanna
keeps things powerful in the verses, blasting in her lower base
voice before building in her volume and vocal steps, to reach the
peak of her alto.
