In this age, amidst the over use of technology, at Open Sky, we constantly encourage our students to explore the outdoors and enhance their social skills. Picnics are sheer fun for young kids and a good way to introduce children to public places. The word “PICNIC” was enough to bring smiles to the cherubic faces of students who just wanted to get away from the confines of the classroom and run free with the wind in their hair.

So, it was no surprise to see students from class 1- X of the school scream with delight when their picnic date was announced.

Children had a spellbound experience to their trip to Madhavgarh Farm on 8th, November, 2022, that rejuvenated them from their daily routine. They enjoyed camel rides, Tractor rides, magic show, pottery, mehndi art, dancing on beats, fun outdoor activities like commando net, zip line, tug of war, commando bridge, the mouthwatering and delicious food which is still missed. It was a pleasure to see students playing in gay abandon after tucking into the yummy preparations made at the venue.

Students returned to school, tired but joyous at the end of the day.

Dussehra is a popular Hindu festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil.  It marks the day on which Lord Rama defeated the demon king Ravana. The celebration is to remember that the good and holy always wins over evil. Our little Open Skiites of class I & II celebrated Dussehra on 30 September 2022. The story as to why we celebrate Dussehra was presented by the teachers. Also the importance and rituals of celebrating this festival were explained in detail by all the teachers. The students also enjoyed listening. Teachers also encouraged the students to take a resolution to change one habit they promise to elude. Students of K.G. made cut-outs of Ravana with waste paper.
This Dussehra celebration was informative for the children. It indeed was a day filled with much excitement.

"The best way to find your self is to lose yourself in the service of others”  -Mahatma Gandhi

Gandhi Jayanti was celebrated at Open Sky, Sector 5 on 30th September, 2022 to commemorate the 153rd birthday of ‘Bapu’. The school remembered this greatest motivator and independence campaigner of his times through a special assembly. The children of classes VII - IX raised slogans spreading Bapu’s messages of non-violence, truth and patriotism. They shared their thoughts and feelings about this great legendary leader. Students also briefed about the life history, values of Gandhiji, independence movements started by him which led India to freedom through their captivating performances.

“Hindi hamari shaan hai; Desh ka Abhimaan Hai”

Language and culture of any country plays an important role in making people connect with the other people and helps in making a strong nation. Hindi is a language of love, togetherness and brotherhood. Hindi was adopted as the official language of our nation, India on September 14, 1949. To appreciate and to mark the importance of country’s most widely spoken language, Open Sky, Sector 5, Gurugram celebrated Hindi Diwas with great pride and vigor.

It was a pleasure to watch students perform so confidently. Students could also be seen engaged in slogan writing and poster making. The school head, Mrs. Bharti Arora underscored its significance in connecting us to our roots.

  “Good health is life’s greatest blessing.”

Open Sky truly believes in this saying and initiates for the School Health Program that contribute to the maintenance and improvement of the health of its students. Medical check-up is the initial step in this great scheme of progress which involves the improvement of not only the physical but the mental and moral development of the children and therefore, we organised a health camp with the help of Hygeia Health Care Gurugram, in the school premises only. A team of experienced doctors visited the school on 27.09.22 and 28.09.22. It included dental, eyes and general checkup of the students. The team of the doctors also counselled the students how to keep general hygiene. Furthermore, they were enlightened on how to keep eyes or ears infections and dental problems at bay. The students were provided the benefit of one-to one consultation with the doctor and examination report of each and every child was recorded in the health card issued to them.

Open Sky celebrated Teacher’s Day on 5th September,2022. The program was graced by the Chairperson Open Sky, Dr. Sonu Sharma. The event was meticulously planned and executed by the senior students.  It started with the dance performance paying tribute to teachers followed by fun games, skits and doha recitation. It was followed by an endearing speech by Dr. Sonu Sharma where she appreciated the efforts put in by the students to make the event a grand success. The program culminated with the grand finale where all the teachers joined in enthusiastically much to the surprise and joy of the students.
