School.

Yes! We are talking about a maiden attempt of our kids who participated in the Science Exhibition Working Model Contest-2018 conducted by ‘The Institution of Engineers (India) Bahrain Chapter’ which is

affiliated to the ‘Bahrain Society of Engineers’.

Out of many projects scrutinized across various schools, very few of them got shortlisted. A team of 12 young budding scientists from BIS categorized under Sub Junior - Kids, Sub Junior and Junior presented their working models at the Bahrain Society of Engineers Hall, Juffair. They were competing against the other schools of the Island in their age categories. The students presented a lot of innovative ideas of science and people present over there could witness interesting exhibits that came out through the young minds. The thing that fascinated the audience the most was that the children had a very good concept about the topics that they chose to demonstrate in front of the judges. The judging panel comprised of a team of Doctorates related to the field of Sciences, eminent engineers and experienced teachers. The Chief Guest for the day was Mr. Om Prakash, Second Secretary Embassy of India, Kingdom of Bahrain who got stunned by observing and examining the exhibits.

The judgment was based on originality of the concept, innovation, presentation of the concept and the students’ ability to answer the questions. BIS is immensely proud of the wonderful achievements of our Kids at this platform. They won prizes in all the three categories and here are the results:-

"Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words."

Tisha Malhotra of Grade VI got II prize in Hindi Poem Recitation competition organised by the Indian Embassy on World Hindi

Diwas.

Poem of genre valour, courage and motivation seems very powerful in Hindi to recite. Each word sounds powerful and vigorous when properly recited with correct pronunciation. And that was clearly reflected in Tisha's voice when she was reciting

the poem- "Mata Pita Bhagwan ki Murat".

Classical Bharatnatyam Dance has traditionally been an important part of religion and culture in India. According to Indian legend, the gods invented dance. Dancing is one of the most revered Hindu arts because it incorporates melody, drama form, line and rhythm. BIS divas induced trance, ecstasy, the experience of the divine, the realization of one’s own secret nature, and finally, mergence into the divine essence through their invocation dance.

Other Dance Forms

When one talks about the dance items, our imagination tends to stop at people dancing to trance and techno music. They dance to celebrate their festivals, they dance to enjoy and energize their mood. Dance Items like Gujarati Garba, Punjabi beats, Ballet clearly depicted this mood and in this way, BIS troupe of divas enthralled the audience by their stupendous performances.

Excellence is the potential chiseled into more perfect state through vision, dedication and determination. Like a circle, the pursuit of excellence has no end.

Our achievements are shaped by the strength of the foundations we set.

The foundation of excellence is built with the quality of students’ actions and integrity.

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow. Likewise, our BIS kids have proved their multitalented skills which we all have witnessed throughout this academic year.

“Strength of mind is to keep working, not rest.”

Now, it’s time to focus on academics. Year after the year, February is the time for revision.

Each year teachers try the favourites, alongside a few new revision strategies to keep the students interested .As we approach the revision stretch, here are a few revision tips to follow:

JANUARY, 2019

Keep yourself motivated

Check your understanding

Practise telling someone else what you have learnt Study alone for some time, but also in a group, if this suits you. Eat well and keep yourself hydrated Take rest at intervals.

That’s all for now, meet you in the next month with more updates. Until then…… Goodbye (Au revoir).

Thanks and Regards, Editorial Team (Students & Staff )
