part iiiSunny solves the mystery

They all ate the yummy cupcakes, while Sandy relished his dog biscuits. The four were sip-ping on their juice, when Sunny said, “I will call

the Chief and inform him. Wait here.” ‘Hello Chief! This is Sunny here,’ he said.‘Hello Sunny!,’ replied Chief. ‘Heard about the

missing necklace?’ he asked.‘Yes Sir! I know where it is,’ replied Sunny excit-

edly.‘ Really?’ asked the surprised Chief. ‘Yes,’ said Sunny. ‘Could you come to my house?’‘Alright. I will meet you in 10 minutes,’ he said.

When the Chief reached Sun-ny’s house, he asked to see the necklace. Sunny had a spade in his hands. He dug a hole in the same place where he had seen the gardener digging last night. And there was the necklace!

‘How did you find out?’ asked the Chief.

Sunny told the incident. ‘Good. Very good,’ the Chief said, clap-

ping Sunny on the back.

Every child wants his freedom,He wants to build his own kingdom.

But when labour comes in the way,You’ll find yourself bringing tea in a tray.

So child labour should be stopped,Banned and certainly fought.

Everyday a child is crying,Tired of trying and trying.

So what if it was you,Ploughing the fields like a one-man crew.

Every child wants his freedom,He wants to build his own kingdom.

Yes, fish do sleep, and they sleep with their eyes open! They go into a daydream mode when they are resting. Unlike humans, who have a regular sleep pattern, the fish can take

a nap anytime they want.

Of course, they have to keep moving their fins when they are napping. That minimal movement is just to maintain their position in the water. Also fish move their fins even when asleep because they need to have water moving constantly through their gills to maintain the required amount of oxygen.

Some fish species have obvious sleep-like characteristics than others. For example, goldfish in a fish-tank will seem to be in a trance, hovering towards the bottom of the tank, when you take a peek at them in the middle of the night. Fish, which belong to the coral reef are active in the day, hide and rest in crevices and cracks in the reef to avoid being eaten at night. The parrot fish secretes a “sleeping bag” made of a jelly like substance around themselves before they doze off.

It was an awfully long week filled with examinations and project submis-sions. On Friday evening, after school,

I reached home and collapsed on the sofa. My dad, looking at my exhausted state, promised to take me for a movie later that evening. That cheered me up and I could feel my wound up muscles loosening.

While I was getting ready, my eyes fell on the book, Flute in the forest, written by city-based author, Leela Gour Broome.

Mrs Broome had visited my school and I was impressed with her speech. She had very energetically urged us to read the book.

I was now faced with a chal-lenging task of choosing be-tween the movie and the book. I decided to list down the pros and cons of each, before coming to a decision.

Firstly, the movie had my favourite actor starring in it. But, Mrs Broome had spoken so well about the protago-nist in her book. A teenaged girl, Atiya Sardare, who stayed on the edge of the forest with her Ranger father, often visited jungle and soaked in the sounds of the wild. The score was One All.

Next, the movie would engross me for just three hours, but a good book would stay with me for long. ‘Book lovers never go to bed alone,’ someone

had said and I agreed. Score was 2-1.In movies, they portray stories that

are larger than life. I would enjoy the movie, but it would be an unreal world. Books are more real, they give us dreams and hope. The score was 3-1.

Just then I heard a knock at the door. ‘Adi?’ my father said ‘Hurry up! We are late.’

‘Dad, I was wondering if we could skip the movie and read a book in-stead.”

‘Why not? It’s a great idea,” said dad. So that Friday evening, all three of

us — mom, dad and I — read. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Since then we have always been reading on Friday evenings. It’s a perfect stress buster.

Stage Magic We all enjoy watching magic

shows, don’t we? A magic show is a performance aimed at en-tertaining the audience through illusions, effects and tricks. It involves participation from the audience too. The audiences are not just amused by the skillful deception and clever tricks presented by the performer, but they also participate by replying to the magician’s questions and assisting him in the act at times.

A performer presenting this art

set for encoreWe all like to be entertained, especially being a part of a ‘live’ audience, watching the performers set the stage on fire! Pradnya Naik compiles a brief history of various stage performances. Read on...

STAGE

play

A play/drama is a genre of literature consisting of scripted dialogues which are enacted by actors in front of an audience. There are different sub-genres in drama such as comedy, historical, tragedy and so on. Plays are the most common theatrical performances and are hence performed at variety of levels. They are presented on Broadway, regional theatre, com-munity/local theatre, or they could be University or school productions. The term ‘play’ may refer to both — the written work and the theatrical performance based on it.

pantomimeA pantomime is a type of

musical comedy for family en-tertainment which relies on ges-tures to communicate actions and feelings, instead of speech. Pantomime first originated in England and was performed during Christmas and New Year.

Today, the performances include songs, dance and hu-mour based on well-known sto-ries. The best part of this form of theatre is that the audience can participate by singing along or shouting out phrases to the performers.

Music concertA music concert is a live musical perfor-

mance. It is popularly known as a ‘music show’ or a ‘gig’ where a single musician or musical ensemble such as a choir, mu-sic band or an orchestra perform on stage to entertain the crowd. Dance moves and stage acts may also be included as a part of the presentation along with singing and music. The concert can be conducted on a bigger scale in outdoor stadiums, multi-purpose buildings, attracting millions of people or on smaller scale, indoors, in night clubs and private properties.

is called a stage magician but he might be given a special name depending on the type of magical effects he presents, such as a hypnotist, mentalist or an illusionist.

keySTone

A keystone is the wedge-shaped stone located at the apex of a masonry arch or vault. It is the final piece, placed during construction. Keystone locks all the stones into position, following the arch to bear weight. Although an arch cannot be self-support-ing until the key-stone is placed, it faces the least stress due to its position at the apex. For aes-thetic purposes, the keystone is sometimes larger than the other stones, or is embellished with a boss.

Success is not the key to happiness, but happiness is the key to success.

K for...

koAlARecently, at the annual summit of G-20 nations, the Indian Prime Min-ister Narendra Modi and other world leaders were welcomed by these cuddly animals. Koalas are native to some regions of Australia. They are mostly nocturnal animals (they stay awake at night and sleep during the day). Though Koalas resemble teddy bears, they are not from the family of bears. Hence, it’s incorrect to call them ‘Koala bears’. Simply call them ‘Koalas’! Koalas have five digits on each front paw, two of which are opposed to the others, like our fingers and thumb. This helps them to grip their food and hold onto the branches.

Kebab

It is a Middle Eastern dish prepared using pieces of meat or fish. It is either grilled or roasted. The Central Asian countries adopted it soon after and now it’s popular worldwide. In the Middle East, however, kebab refers to meat that is cooked over or next to the flames. The traditional meat used to make kebab is lamb. But depending on local tastes and religious prohibitions, beef, goat, chicken, pork or fish kebab is also available. There’s paneer kebab for vegetarians too!

keTcHup

Ketchup is a table sauce. Traditionally, ketchups were available in different variet-ies like mushrooms, oysters, mussels and walnuts. Today, ketchup is a sweet and tangy sauce, made from tomatoes, assort-ed seasonings and spices. Tomato ketchup is often used as a condi-ment with various dishes like chips/fries, hamburgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, eggs and grilled or fried meat. Ketchup is some-times used as a base or ingredient for other sauces and dressings. It is also used as a flavouring for crisps and potato chips.

kilTThe kilt is a knee-length garment that originated in the 16th cen-tury. It’s the traditional dress of men in the Scottish Highlands. Kilts are originally made of wool-len cloth but many contempo-rary varieties are available today. Although kilt is not worn widely today, it has become associated with Scottish culture in general, or with Celtic heritage since the 19th century. Many are mostly reserved for formal occasions such as weddings.

The beginning of the second term in school is a lot of fun. Sports week, annual days liven up the atmosphere. YB takes a peek into the schools preparing frenetically for their annual days. Here’s what we saw and what was discussed

The warm sunshine and the gentle swaying of the trees make it a perfect day to be outdoors. A casual visit to the NCL Modern

English High School campus shows us that stu-dents are outdoors, quite enjoying the opportu-nity to rest under trees. We are mistaken! A few minutes later, the picture changes.

A tape recorder belts out the popular track from Taare Zameen Par and the kids get charged up. The boys start thumping their feet, while the girls begin graceful hand movements. And, filling up the gap is another boy doing a skit. In another corner, a group of girls strikes a pose from a classical dance, stop, preen and pose again.

event to watch out forIf you haven’t guessed it yet, then these chil-

dren are rehearsing for their annual gathering. One of the most eagerly awaited events in the school calendar, an annual gathering is when students can indulge a little more in music, put

their thoughts into writing and enact-ing a skit, and rehearse for dances.

Says Aarti Fasge of Std IX, NCL Modern English High School “Rehearsals are a lot of fun. What makes or mars a dance performance is the synchronisation between the performers. Not all of us move in tandem and that causes a lot of merriment during the practice session. The only way to get it right is by practising after schools.”

dress up! What adds to the excitement at the practice

sessions is the costume for the performanc-es. In the rehearsal break, the NCL students discuss their gear for the D-day — white shirt, black trousers, black bowler hat and tie. Some plan to borrow the costume from their friends

“Last year for our annual gathering called Jam’s Festival, we won the award for the best costume. The intricate designs were stitched on a very rich fabric,” says Lira Rodrigues.

and family, while others are going to hire it from a dress rental shop.

Lira Rodrigues, who studies in Std IX, in People’s High School, Panjim, remembers how her group’s perfor-mance stood out because of their costume.

“Last year for our annual gathering called Jam’s Festival, we won the award for the best costume. The intri-cate designs were stitched on a very rich fabric,” says Lira.

Backstage babbleBeing onstage no doubt gives a

high, but backstage gives rise to all fun and giggly moments. Kelly Gon-salves, who along with her best friend Neha, was a volunteer for her school orchestra smiles when she recalls last year’s annual day. “Our team’s performance was towards the end, so we had plenty of time to practise and get ready. Till we were called on stage, we helped our teammates with hairstyling and make-up. We also clicked a lot of selfies and posted them,” says Kelly.

Her friend, Neha Joshi adds, “The

“Our school conducts sports day and annual gathering alternately. This year, we are gearing up for sports day which is to be held in this month. What we usually do is that we rope in students in committees headed by teachers. They see to it that the work is accomplished and all students get a chance to prove their worth,” says Maria Rodrigues, Teacher, St Joseph High School, Pernem.

second day of the concert was my birthday and as I was a volunteer for the school band, everybody played for me which was really special. The show is something I still cherish.”

Together they performWhat binds onstage actors and

backstage artistes are the teachers, who become friends and part-ner-in-excitement. Manasi Ranade, of NCL Modern English High School who is trying to get her group of students to match their steps with the music says, “The Principal sug-gests the theme for the festival and the teachers and students pitch in to get the execution right. We try to cater to the interests of all.”

Adds Vilma Fernandes who teaches at Our Lady Of Perpetual Succour High School, Goa, “The school appoints teachers to look after the annual gathering. They are responsible for issuing invitation cards, inviting chief guests, se-lecting activities and programmes, arranging music and refreshments, all with the headmaster’s consent.

Costumes are brought by teachers but sometimes, children too volun-teer to bring them.”

The responsibilities are delegat-ed to both teachers and students, which ensures respect for the huge scale of work that is organising a

school gathering. As with all other tasks, a success-

ful gathering is the result of pains-taking efforts taken by students, teachers and the right dosage of fun, excitement and life lessons. Hip, hip hurrah!

There, the headline says it all! This series is for those who love both history and mys-

tery. Best of both, right? There are three books in the History Mystery series written by Natasha Sharma — Akbar and the Tricky Traitor (which I loved absolutely), Ashoka and the Muddled Messag-es and Raja Raja and the Swapped Sacks.

Out of the three, I read the one on Akbar. To tell you the truth, Akbar doesn’t seem Emperor Akbar. He’s portrayed as a grandfatherly figure, who’s puzzled about how the details of his court reached his enemy. To help solve him the tangle are his Super Six spies. Psst...there are only five of them. And, yet they call themselves Super Six. Aren’t they smart?

So the Super Six set about trying to find out who in Akbar’s court is a traitor, passing on secrets to the neighbouring kingdom. Needless to say, they succeed. In the pro-

cess, they reveal too many secrets of Akbar, the Emperor. History textbooks teach us that Akbar was a just ruler. That he is. But

NAME: History Mystery — Akbar and the Tricky Traitor

BY: Natasha Sharma

IlluSTrATED BY: Vandana Bist

PuBlIShED BY: Dukbill Books

PrICE: ` 175

If you love history, solve this mystery!

is the History Mystery series an attempt to make History and our rulers more interesting?

The History Mystery series certainly aims to showcase the fun side of Indian histo-ry which often gets lost in textbooks. Our rulers are interesting and facts are often more surprising than fiction. As with any human being, they have many aspects to their personality. That said, the char-acterisation of the rulers in my work is fictional. I’ve woven facts in the settings and specified at the end of each book, what was fact and what was fiction.

what was the brief that you started working with? Akbar and the Tricky Traitor started out in a writing workshop as a short exercise on writing historical fiction with a surprise prop. The prop was a sock!

My editors at Duckbill, who had conducted the workshop, liked the ap-proach and suggested I expand it into a full-fledged book. The first book creat-ed much excitement and we decided

to build this as a series on the same premise of fictional mystery stories that are full of facts and written in the same humorous tone. Three books are out now. A fourth title Razia and the Pesky Presents releases in February.

The books need a lot of research since I have to sift through information and find interesting and fun nuggets that I can incorporate into my story.

Sometimes, facts lead to character creation — Ashoka has the Tremendous 10 bodyguards in my story. They are all women. This is based on the fact that Mauryan Kings had women bodyguards who were considered more trustworthy and the Arthashastra recommends that the king be surrounded by 10 guards when he is out in public.

did you miss including Birbal in the Super Six? Not at all! The Super Six are fictional fig-ures. While the story refers to Tansen and the Navratnas, I wanted bumbling spies as my investigators. I wanted to write a story on Akbar with no Birbal. It was very liberating not to have to stick to the usual routine of Akbar and Birbal stories.

Natasha Sharma tells Ambika Shaligram how historical fiction can be fun and humorous. Her History Mystery series is full of facts woven in fictitious setting

how many of you know that Akbar loved to eat

fruits for his meals and the water he drank was sourced all the way from Haridwar? It’s a fun history to read, with a mys-tery to solve. Read it pals!

This historical fiction makes you laugh

Mahaveer School celebrated the birth anniversary of Pandit Jawa-harlal Nehru, which is observed

as Children’s Day, with great enthusi-asm. This day was most awaited by the children. They delivered speeches on Chacha Nehru. Teachers too sang and entertained the children.

A skit based on child labour was per-formed by the students of Std VIII.

Drawing, handwriting and spelling bee competitions were also held, besides games. Principal, Alaknanda Sengupta greeted the children on this occasion and wished them a bright future.

Thirteen years since it was first started, the Judson Jig, an inter-school fest, has grown

by leaps and bounds. It was the brain-child of Dr Freda Moore, Founder Principal of Judson Group of Schools, who wanted the fest to increase interactivity amongst schools.

Says she, “The Judson Jig was started in 2002 to increase inter-activity amongst schools, allow for competition to take place in a healthy manner, and also to encour-age students to shine in their chosen activities.”

Besides mooting the idea, Dr Moore also conceptualised the logo — SPES.

“The logo, SPES, was inspired by Greek Goddess SPES, whose name means Hope. I expanded SPES as Schools Performing Extra Special — to make it a part of Judson Jig banner,” she adds.

This year, the three-day fest that began from November 25, saw participation from 18 schools. It had several events lined up on the first day like poetry recitation, essay writing and calligraphy. On the second day, students participated in face painting, making comic strips, greeting cards and fancy dress. Folk, classical and contemporary dance along with a skit and a fashion show, were held on the third day.

Komal Mehta, a Std VIII student of The Judson School, who partic-ipated in the flower arrangement show, said, “I used the roses and the decorative leaves from my garden. I chose to participate in this event because I love flowers.”

Kids who took part in the greeting card making event were seen deco-rating the cover with quilled designs. The messages, scribbled inside, varied from ‘Wishing you luck,’ and ‘Happy New Year’ to ‘All the Best for your MBA exam’.

The participating students received a ‘Certificate of Participation’ at the end of their respective events. The results were also declared on the same day.

This year, Bharati Vidyapeeth’s Dhankawadi campus celebrated Children’s Week from November

14-19th. On Children’s Day, all the three schools of Bharati Vidyapeeth’s Dhankawadi campus — BVEM School and Sr Secondary School, Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil Vidyamandir and Kanya Prashala, Dhankawadi — organised a ‘Community Awareness Rally’ on ‘Swachha Abhiyan’ in the neighbouring area. The rally tried to create awareness about health and hygiene, balanced diet, exercise and preventive measures against dengue.

Next day, a cultural programme was held. This was followed by San-dip Chavan and Atul Sawant of TATA Power addressing the students. They spoke on ‘Impact of Social Media’ and ‘Waste Management’ respectively. Their speech engaged the children who understood the measures to be taken while using social networking sites and also for managing waste.

The entire programme was planned and organised by the effective and efficient guidance of the Principals of all the three schools — M D Kadam, Sandhya Sawant and Dr Pratibha Dixit.

Education involves an all-round development of a child. Sports aid in

the physical develop-ment of the child while also instilling in him the spirit of sportsmanship. They also help the child understand the impor-tance of participation over winning. That is why Sports Weeks are organised in schools.

In our school, games like throw-ball, vol-leyball, football and cricket are taught to our students. All the students are

prepared for inter-school competitions, like Schoolympics, which concludes today.

The performance of our students is very good. Our students have won medals in fencing, taekwondo and football, tennis in various in-ter-school competitions. They have also participated in foot-ball and tennis at state-level and won three gold and two bronze medals.
