From Chennapatnam, 1639 To Chennai 2018, Moore Market To Metro Rail, Trams To Tidel Park & more…

The Madras Day celebration was all around the city in August and our team of sixth graders got to know about all these.We read that Madras day is the day when Madras was named by the East India Company way back at 1639.

Those days our Chennai was called as Madrasapattnam or Chennapatnam. To remember her glory, heritage walks are conducted every year to the heritage sites left by old Madras. We have also asked our Principal mam to take us out to St. Mary ‘s Church and the Rippon building which are worth seeing heritage buildings.

“Namma Chennai“as we fondly call her ,has the cultural flavour from December kacheris to Barathanatyam, ghana to kalakalkutthu. She is the safest city in India and we love her for giving us that secure feeling .

LOVE YOU MADRAS! Love you Chennai !We are proud to write about you.

Student-led conference in place of a conventional PTODM…           “ A real good experience for us as parents, happy to see that our children have reflected on their performance ”, said the father of a grade 6 student. During conventional PTODMs, parents ask how their students are doing, and teachers provide grades, behavior reports and the report cards.   Instead, in a SLC- Student-led conference , our students ran the conference, informing their parents about how they were doing in class, what their goals are going forward, and what kind of learners they are.   Being a progressive school, we at Velammal Vidyalaya NewGen school ,Shollinganallur ran the SLC today,19 th October 2019 for grades VI-VIII.
