A memorable day for the grandparents of VNGS Medavakkam

-
Grandparenthood is a significant and meaningful role for older persons.The older persons derive  high levels of satisfaction and pleasure from their grandchildren, and the salience of the relationship is something that is reciprocated. So,when VNGS Medavakkam sent out the invite for Grandparents' Day,as many as 260 grandparents from the 23 sections of KG classes, had sent their consent to participate in the event. 
Today,the 31st August 2019,to mark the Grandparents' Day, the school had a special welcome arch to greet the senior citizens.The grandparents play many different types of roles for their grandchildren, including that of historian, mentor, role model, and surrogate parent. But today they became buddies ,partnering with their grandchildren.  

The program started with Laugh out loudly - Vai vitta sirithal noi vittu pogum, which was a real laughter therapy for all the grandparents who gathered.
Next was Queen of Sheeba ,a ramp walk moment for grandparents to look as royal as a monarch, wave hands and get cheers from the crowd
Then the grandparents had a game Fastest pyramid, a coordination and team bonding game, where the  grand child and the grandparent made pyramids with papercups. 
This was followed by Face decoration time where the KG students gave a makeover to their grandparents.
Next came the event which made the crowd bust into peels of laughter.Saree Folding event for thathas where grandmothers supervised their partners folding a saree.
As an interlude there was Interviewing the grandparents which brought them back memories of yesteryears.
After the interview the grandparents had a Garland Exchange game ,where they kept exchanging garlands till they reached the finish.This was followed by dance time for the grandies.
Rab ne banaya jodi dance time with balloon balancing ,made them sway with their partners,being conscious of the balloon in between them and  Adaptune made them dance to the songs of different genres,adapting to the changing tunes. 
Thus the event kept the grandparents and grandchildren happy,making the latter adore the former even more. 
The guests never failed to take sefies in the Selfie Corner and they parted saying that they would come next year to Velammal for the next Grandparents' Day and thanked the management for giving them a memorable day to relish.

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. Parents were given appointments and each class had a waiting room and an SLC room. The SLC room had the triad : the student, parent ,teacher and the student did all the talking with the SLC binder laid before him or her. Some par...
