W e boarded the flight to Jaipur. After

we landed, we proceeded in luxury

coaches to Vesta, the hotel booked for us. As it

was the first time the juniors and new students

looked keen at everything around them. They

were ready to experience like staying away from

their families and it was the seniors’ responsibility

to take care of them. In this way, juniors became

knowledgeable and we learnt how to be caring

and sharing! After we freshened up, had tea and

snacks and proceeded to the BIRLA MANDIR.

T o enjoy the historic monuments of Jaipur,

we started by visiting the JANTAR

MANTAR where we saw how accurate the

instruments are and how does one use it. Next, we

proceeded to the CITY PALACE and learnt about

the history of the city of Jaipur. We saw the

preserved attire of the kings and queens who had

lived in Jaipur. Followed by a panoramic view of

the HAWA MAHAL, we went to the AMBER

FORT where we saw the inside of the whole fort

and the learnt about the importance of it. Outside

the fort, we shopped a little and in the evening

witnessed sound and light show!

T oday was a pleasant day. In the morning,

we visited the Jaipur Zoo and the Bird

Sanctuary. I personally appreciated this activity

because I got to know about the fauna in the

region. We even shopped for a while in the

Gandhi Market. We returned to the hotel for

lunch. In the evening it was Party Time; from

7:30pm to 9:30pm we had a DJ Party. This was

thrilling. All were excited and the best part was

that we mingled with the juniors whom we did not

know much about.

T oday was pretty hectic as we travelled for a

lot of time. We went to factory where we

experienced how to block print on fabric! After

learning all of us tried doing it on a piece of

fabric. I enjoyed as it was something totally new I

learnt. Next we had to say good bye to Jaipur and

board for the airport! All of us carried lovely

memories with us….Thank you to all the teachers

and tour guides who helped us to learn and enjoy

from this trip! We hardly missed our parents!

On a Tour of the Mountains

O n Sep 28, 2015 I woke up to a bright Monday morning to embark on our school trip to

Nainital. It was indeed a memorable trip for me just like all my class mates. Our trip started

with a flight to New Delhi, our national capital. We were accommodated in comfortable

hotels during our entire trip and the facilities available were appreciable.

We started off with our visit to the famous India Gate, followed by a visit to

Raj Ghat, the Samadhi of Mahatma Gandhi. I felt moved at the memorial. At

the India Gate, I remembered all our fallen heroes and felt proud of them.

Later that night, we boarded the train for Nainital, our next destination.

Nainital is an amazing place on earth with its beautiful snowcapped

mountains and lakes. We had a lovely memorable boat ride during the day

and all our classmates enjoyed it. This was followed by a trip to the caves.

There were about five caves. I ventured into two of them and without a

doubt; this was a different kind of experience. We returned to the hotel and

had fun playing games and finally capping it with a DJ playing our favorite

songs in the night. That was wonderful, something to remember for a long

time to come

Next on our menu was the Jim Corbett National Park. We checked out from the hotel at Nainital, travelled by

cars and checked in to a new hotel for this visit. First we went on a safari where we got to see the animals in their

natural surroundings unlike in a zoo. We saw herds of deer, monkeys, gigantic Salamander and a cute baby

elephant! It was certainly a great safari with all these wonderful sights. Back in the hotel some of us had fun

getting into the swimming pool prior hitting the bed. Next day we were taken to the Jim Corbett Museum and this

was unique. I had heard about this a lot and also wondered if I will ever see this one. Here I was along with my

classmates enjoying this visit! We got to learn a lot about tigers. Further, we also gained knowledge about all our

existing National Parks located in various parts of the country and how they were named. We returned to the hotel

and again were enthralled by Karaoke singers. Our classmates and I enjoyed singing away the wonderful week

with our favorite songs. The trip was truly memorable. I sincerely thank all teachers and organizers for giving this

unique experience.

International Day of Non-violence

W orking for year 4 assembly was fun. The topic being celebrating

“International Day of Non-violence”. A big day for us indeed! We had to go on

stage and present in front of the whole primary school. Excited but nervous at the same

time, Year 4 had to rise to the challenge, our first assembly of the year, and the responsibility was really big.

After all the hard work, the day had dawned to put us

through this huge challenge. Year 4 performed a play, a

song in Hindi, a song in English, and a dance sequence

PYP The one that interested us the most was the play. Hope we were clear in delivering our

message, and that would mean our hard work had paid off. It may be just a play for some, but it

involved a lot of planning and organizing. Our learning journey has been great and such assemblies should

be conducted more often as it involves long term learning experiences and healthy team spirit.

Guest Speaker - Grade 1

F or our ongoing UOI ‘Products’, Mrs. Rachana Ojha did the honors as a guest speaker.

She gave a PPT presentation on ‘Mines and Fossils’. It was a very interactive session where the

children learnt how natural products such as coal, iron, fossils etc go through a process of change and are

eventually transformed into manmade products like steel, rods etc. The children enjoyed a lot, specially

the video on ‘iron-ore mining’. We thank Mrs. Ojha for this wonderful opportunity.

RBKIA Holds Fire Drill

T he school held its annual fire drill on the 6th of October 2015. Shortly after

11 a.m. The alarm was sounded and everyone dropped what they were doing and made

their down the stairs and out to the rallying point on the outside playground. This time there were

personnel stationed on each floor to point out the correct exit route for each level and to ensure that

everyone had evacuated.

After rolls were taken there was a brief assembly at the indoor playground where the Fire Marshall

explained the school’s evacuation procedure as well as assuring members of the measures that are in

place to ensure the safety of all on campus. He and his team held a mock fire fighting exercise using a fire

hose as well as fire extinguishers.

The exercise is intended to test the preparedness of the school community to deal with any untoward

emergencies including fire incidents. This important event is held periodically to inform members of the

school community of any updates with regard to response to emergencies as well as evacuation

procedures to be followed. Preparations for this year’s drill saw the school put up new highly visible signs

in strategic places such as corridors, by the lifts and next to emergency exits.
