Children’s Day-a glimpse of some activities in the school

14th. November was celebrated as Children’s Day. There was a special assembly on that day, and the students were reminded about how much Jawaharlal Nehru loved children, that Children’s Day is celebrated all over India on the occasion of the birthday of the former Prime Minister of India. The rest of the day was spent in various activities like a science exhibition, salad making, origami and card making, declamation  and debates. I have given below some photographs taken on the occasion:

Stamps-Flora and Fauna

Stamps are an important source of information on plants and animals. Often stamps carry pictures of animals and plants that are close to extinction. The student of science will do well to study stamps which carry pictures of animals and plants. Most stamps also mention the scientific names of the plants and animals pictured. Many stamps carry pictures of exotic and colourful orchids and flowers. Colourful birds and rare animals make the stamps look rather attractive! I have pasted below some stamps of my collection which contain wonderful pictures of exotic plants and animals.
