SPELL BEE
 To develop a profound understanding of English language and to improve the vocabulary our school organized "SPELL BEE COMPETITION".
It is a way to motivate students to learn standardized spelling. Following are the results of the students who have excelled with wonder colours :

Imagination is the key to creativity and children can be trained in many ways to develop stronger skills of imagination.  One of the ways is storytelling which teaches children about the world, provides real-world social interaction, and develops both knowledge and love for stories. With this view, 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫- 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐈𝐕 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐕 𝐨𝐧 𝟑𝟎𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒. A preliminary round was conducted in the respective classes and as per the criteria two children per section per house were selected from each class. Each participant narrated a beautiful story with a moral value. Students participated zealously and impressed the audience with their confidence. The activity helped the students to inculcate good moral values, enhance their vocabulary and speaking skills. 

The judge 𝐃𝐫. 𝐒. 𝐊. 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐚 , School Mentor, lauded the efforts put in by the students. He expressed his feelings of pleasure by saying that the children were very enthusiastic and the way they expressed themselves was appreciable. He also appreciated the efforts put in by the parents and the teachers to help the children showcase their talent.
