किसी भी देश की भाषा और संस्कृति लोगों को आपस में जोड़ने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाती है और एक मजबूत राष्ट्र बनाने में मदद करती है। इसी को ध्यान में रखकर भारत की राजभाषा “हिंदी” को महत्व देने के लिए प्रतिवर्ष 14 सितंबर को हिंदी दिवस मनाया जाता है क्योंकि इसी दिन हिंदी को 14 सितंबर 1949 को संविधान सभा की आधिकारिक भाषा के रूप में अपनाया गया था। महामारी कोरोना, से संघर्ष के बीच, गत 14 सितंबर २०२० प्रिसीडियम के छात्रों ने हिंदी दिवस बड़े उत्साह के साथ मनाया। विभिन्न गतिविधियों के द्वारा हिंदी भाषा के महत्व के बारे में छात्रों को अवगत कराया गया, साथ ही इस दिन को हर साल, व प्रतिदिन मनाकर भारत की संस्कृति, पारंपरिक मूल्यों को बनाए रखने और उनके महत्व को मजबूत करने के लिए भी छात्रों को प्रोत्साहित भी किया गया।छात्रों को समझाया गया गया कि अंग्रेजी भी उतनी ही महत्वपूर्ण है, जितनी की हिंदी, अत: इनका इस्तेमाल इस तरह से किया जाना चाहिए कि दोनों भाषाएं-हिंदी और अंग्रेजी-एक-दूसरे के पूरक हो। छात्रों ने भी पूरे मन से भाग लेकर भाषण, कविता, नाटक, गानों, नृत्य व पोस्टर के माध्यम से भारत के नागरिकों को जोड़ने में भाषा के महत्व पर प्रकाश डाला ।

A letter is a type of grapheme, which is a contrastive unit in a writing system. The contemporary English-language alphabet consists of twenty-six letters, each of which corresponds to one or more sounds. To recapitulate the letters and their sounds in an exciting, simpler, more accessible, and innovative way, a fun-filled activity of making letter craft was being conducted in Grade prep students. Students made different letter animals in this activity, building their strong understanding of the letters and their sound. The reflection of the activity was visible when the students demonstrated their animal craft and the corresponding sound of that particular letter. Above all else, students had fun creating while learning the Alphabet.

Hibernation is a way for some animals to cope with the harshness of winter. They curl up in a safe place and stay there until winter is over. Animals that hibernate are known as hibernators, they include bats, hedgehogs, ground squirrels, etc. Students of grade IV, at Presidium, learned and understood the concept. To illustrate their understanding, they were given a research project in which each student was assigned to a hibernating animal that they needed to write about, their habitat where they hibernate, and their preparation before what happens to the body during hibernation. Students explored and recorded their observations of related animals and presented them in virtual classrooms. This, in turn, helped them to learn the skills associated with the inquiry and processes of science such as observing, measuring, hypothesizing, predicting, analyzing and communicating.
