Round Square Story Writing Relay –

Pass the Baton was conducted by SAI International School, Guwahati.

Writing stories allows children to unleash their creativity and imagination. They can invent characters, settings, and plotlines, and explore limitless possibilities. It encourages them to think outside the box and develop their unique ideas.

23 children of Classes V & VI of Jr School took part in the Story Writing Relay activity that was held on 18th and 19th May, 2023. The first chapter was written by the host school and was passed on to RKKGPS, Jodhpur. Daly College wrote the third chapter and illustrated it beautifully. The children had a great opportunity to work in a group and brainstorm their ideas.

The Jr school library had kids bustling around with energy and enthusiasm. The final draft was a testament of teamwork! Here are a few glimpses of the activity-

What are the differences in their findings due to different Geographical locations?

Description: Soils are the fundamental of terrestrial ecosystems. The diversity of soils with their inherent different properties, are a consequence of various mutually interactive factors such as earth substrata, climate, topography, organisms, and time. These interactions between soil life, plants and soil chemistry are essential for soil and habitat formation, maintenance, and restoration. Moreover, interactions between soils and major cycles of carbon, nutrients, and water support food production, feed, fiber, and greenhouse gas balances. It takes soils thousands of years to form, while their capacity to support life and environment may be eroded very quickly through a multitude of stressors. Concerted and collaborative action is the need of the hour to conserve soils and create ‘win-win’ action plans for soil and habitat conservation, regeneration, and sustainable development.

Daly College students participated in various collaborative project and virtual events organized by Round Square member schools of India and overseas.

International Understanding Project : Coming of Age

Round Square schools encourage their students to develop a spirit of Internationalism: To seek out, discover and embrace the similarities and differences between cultures and nationalities in ways that promote meaningful and lasting understanding and respect.

Daly College is the one of the six schools worldwide (representing five regions) that is a part of an International Collaborative project “Coming of Age” (traditions, ceremonies and rites of passage in different communities) based on INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING pillar of Round Square.

Proposed International Understanding focus: Coming of Age traditions, ceremonies and rites of passage in different communities

Participating Schools:

Collaboration Questions :

What traditions, ceremonies and rites of passage can we find in the 6 Round Square Regions?
What are the similarities and differences of coming of age traditions/rites of passage across the world?
What do these traditions/rites of passage tell us about the different cultures?

Task Objectives :

To research and describe at least one coming of age tradition/rite of passage within each region
To analyse and evaluate the meaning and significance of the tradition/rite of passage
To compare and contrast the traditions/rites of passage across the regions
To build a resource for Round Square schools to use and (possibly)
To devise a series of relevant lessons to explore coming of age in order to develop intercultural understanding.
