Arts

Art is important because it has a powerful impact on our moods and emotions, and also allows us to express our individuality. Drawing, painting, and other art activities enable students to become more creative. Students also become more observant of the world around them by excelling in art.

Learning art helps students discover and explore their creative sides and become more well-rounded personalities. The students of fine arts participate in art competitions, poster-making competitions, board displays, and exhibitions at various levels. Props, stage sets, and costumes are also designed by the Art Department for various functions.

In order to fulfill its stated vision, the Commerce Department of Little Scholars, a team of hard-working and dedicated faculty members, is committed to academic excellence with the holistic development of students. We strive to provide a strong foundation to the students to become future entrepreneurs and prepare them for the position of leadership in business organizations.

We want our students to develop an enthusiasm and understanding of a changing business environment and empower them to take responsibility and make decisions independently.

We constantly organize open discussions on current economic issues, debates, contests and quizzes, presentations, industrial visits, etc., to foster a spirit of inquiry and a critical approach to their thinking about current issues. More than 70% of students in the commerce stream secure 90% plus marks in the board examination.

 

The English Department is a team of 11 well-qualified, responsible, and dedicated teachers whose planning, ideas, and initiatives make the department the fountainhead of all scholastic and co-scholastic activities, whether pertaining to linguistics or even beyond, organized in school and outside.

Developing a love for the language, the department focuses on the basic four skills of purposeful reading, effective writing, keen listening, and impactful speaking. Giving a free run to children’s imagination, it is excellence in the creative field that is aimed at, leading to some unforgettable stage performances by participants.

The department is involved year-round in making classroom learning interesting and giving ample participation opportunities to children to shape their personalities. In this endeavor, the children show their talent at both the in-school and the inter-school levels. It is seen by the Department that language-related competitions (Olympiad) and CBSE-originating events get an overwhelming response. The department is also involved in the publication of newsletters and the yearly school journal. In collaboration with Twin-Win, the children’s communication skills and holistic development is ensured.

Finally, the English Department is not merely a language department. It takes upon itself the equally important task of inculcating good habits and values among children, underlining the department’s significant role in the welfare of the children and the image building of the school.

Little Scholars introduced the Humanities Stream in 2020. For long, the need was being felt to incorporate humanities for those scholars who were aspiring for a career in the civil services. Fortunately, conditions proved propitious to offer humanities to youngsters after class 10. Since its inception two years back, the newly formed humanities stream has garnered unprecedented success. This year, we are all very optimistic that the present first batch of talented youngsters is going to set benchmarks difficult to emulate.

 

“IT is ever-changing, and there is a need to evolve in order to stay relevant.” -Ryan Ogilvie

At Little Scholars, the IT department, with 3 efficient IT personnel, always tries to provide the best and latest IT features with optimum ease. Keeping in mind the above phrase as a key point, the IT department always keeps on exploring new ways and ideas in the IT field and is always keen to adopt the latest trends.

During the recent years, when the whole world had surrendered against the pandemic, IT professionals have emerged as the main warriors to let professional life continue in an uninterrupted mode. The term “work from home” has come into fashion only because of the hard work put in by the IT professionals globally.

Little Scholars has always been a pioneer in adopting and applying all the new IT tools and ensuring that the process of learning goes on without any interruption.

The Mathematics Department of the LITTLE SCHOLARS SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL, BHALLA FARM, PRATAPPUR, KASHIPUR is a family of 11 (PRT – 04, TGT – 05 & PGT – 02) dedicated teachers who help the students develop computational skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. In the course of their learning, students obtain the ability to critically assess numerical and graphical information; learn to formulate strategies for solving problems, and acknowledge the importance of being intellectually curious. Since learning mathematics is a process that requires active involvement, the teachers constantly provide opportunities to enable the students to become engaged in the learning process. Activity-based learning that allows students to explore and understand the difficult concepts on their own is keenly promoted. We understand that each student approaches problems differently; hence, collaborative learning and peer tutoring are used as effective teaching strategies. This gives the young learners a chance to compare and contrast methods and find what suits them best. The teachers endeavor to provide personalized attention to each student. They use observations, class work, projects, and assessment to gauge the level of the students, and the necessary enrichment or remedial schedule is worked out.

Technology is used extensively for differentiated learners, for simplification of complex concepts, and also for evaluation purposes. The math lab provides additional scope to students to learn and explore mathematical facts and theorems using technological tools. To add fun to learning and also to enhance students’ interest in the subject, the Department conducts various Mathematical competitions, quizzes, digital story writing, mental ability/reasoning, etc.

Maths & Vedic Maths workshops have been conducted in the past for the junior classes by resource persons from the ‘Adhyayan group of Mumbai’ as well as by other famous & renowned groups of mathematics at a national/international level. These enabled the children to develop math concepts using fun activities. Our boys have learnt fractions, integers, area, volume, etc while playing basketball, practicing catching with rubber balls, going outdoors, measuring various shapes, and much more. A workshop on Vedic Mathematics was conducted by the renowned Twin Win organization. Through this, students were taught various techniques of addition, multiplication, the decimal system, division, squares, square roots, cubes, etc. The department, in collaboration with ‘Educational Initiatives,’ conducts Asset and Detailed Assessment tests to review the performance of the students and find their areas of strength and weakness. The Mind Wars assessments for classes VI and VII are a great success, as they are fashioned according to the learning pace of each child. Instant feedback and remediation are the most useful features of these assessments. Maths Olympiads are also conducted to test and enhance the skills of the students. The teachers regularly participate in various mathematical workshops for self-enrichment. The workshop conducted by the prestigious & renowned Ignited Mind of Mathematics (IMM) group, New Delhi, on the history of mathematics and making math fun was particularly educational. Interdisciplinary and experiential learning is encouraged through specific sessions of mathematics classes/projects/PowerPoint presentations, etc.

 

Sports are an integral part of life at school. We take pride in inculcating sportsmanship in our student body. Students are encouraged to compete with each other in inter-house competitions. Our sports infrastructure is among the best in the country, with modern basketball courts, tennis courts, an all-weather swimming pool, cricket pitches, squash courts, and indoor badminton courts. Various athletes and players have won numerous tournaments over the years and represented Uttarakhand at the state and national level.

Albert Einstein said, “The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.” This is exactly what the Science Department, comprising 8 highly qualified teachers, believes in.

In order to create a scientific temperament and skill in the minds of students, the members of the science department support disciplinary and experiential learning. The four E’s (engage, explore, explain, and evaluate) are followed for enhanced learning outcomes. Workshops and seminars are organized on a regular basis to train the students.

Teachers emphasize activities rather than rote learning and encourage children to ask questions. The faculty members prepare children for participating in different quizzes, exhibitions, and fairs at the school and interschool levels. For the students of Little Scholars, science is fun, science is curiosity, and science is the process of investigating by posing questions and coming up with solutions.
