Literature and meaningful lessons - Sunbeam School Lahartara

Sunbeam School Lahartara

“My Good School session with Brinda Ghosh on My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell was a rich and engaging example of how literature can bring together humour, observation, and meaningful life lessons. The episode of Larry inviting guests without planning highlights a familiar and relatable family conflict: his carefree, impractical attitude contrasts sharply with Mother’s sense of responsibility and concern. This dynamic not only adds humour to the narrative but also reflects how different personalities coexist and adapt within a family.” Samriddhi Banerjee

Read the wonderful reflections from Sunbeam School, Lahartara, where the students share their joy of reading the book My Family and Other Animals with Brinda Ghosh. Literature can bring together humour and lead us with meaningful lessons. 

Building Bonds Beyond Borders: MGS Retreat

 

The retreat was not just about learning, but also about building meaningful relationships. Students from different states came together, bringing with them diverse cultures, languages, and experiences. Initially, everyone was unfamiliar with one another, but through shared activities, conversations, and group discussions, a sense of trust slowly began to grow.

As we spent more time together, we began to understand each other better, respect our differences, and appreciate the uniqueness each person brought. These interactions helped break down barriers and created a warm, friendly environment where everyone felt included.

By the end of the retreat, what began as a gathering of strangers turned into a community of friends. The bonds formed here went beyond the classroom, teaching us the true value of trust, connection, and unity in diversity.
