Learning: The Fun Way - Anvesha Rana

At Tomoe Gakuen, the students could study the subjects at their own pace. Unlike regular schools where children have fixed periods for different topics. At Tomoe, one could start by doing their favourite subject and then somehow manage to do the ones they dislike; this was learning the fun way. Independent decisions made the children ready for real life. 

Another aspect of Totto Chan's new school was that lunch was unique. Everyone was supposed to bring something from the ocean and the hills to meet the essential nutrition requirement. Also, if the child only had something from the sea or something from the sea, then the headmaster's wife would dole out the other. So all kids at Tomoe Gakuen always ate Something from the ocean and something from the hills. 

The Headmaster was a distinctive individual; he always encouraged the children to chew their food well and respect it. He would often test the students' culinary knowledge by asking them about the place from where their food belongs: The hills or the sea? 

This was all the fun at Tomoe Gakuen, but the best part was probably the School Walks. After lunch, all the kids would walk in the open with their teacher in the midst. Everyone would think of it as leisure time, but these walks were actually memorable lessons in science, history and biology.

This is Learning the Fun Way, which is at Tomoe Gakuen but is even at My Good School, where Learning is Fun and Fun is Learning!

Sea Food And Land Food - Rishona Chopra

I am sure each teacher tells us that we should bring a balanced diet to school. But at Tomoe, things are different. Children are advised to get something from the ocean and something from the hills, like something from the sea and something from the land.

Those who can fulfil the requirements need not worry as the headmaster's wife gives the needed food and no one says if the food wasn't tasty as everybody had equal lunch. It was so fun to find out what one had brought and which food came from the ocean and the land. They used to thank god for what they had. In India, there is a Sanskrit shloka that we say before eating food that is" ब्रहमैव तेन गन्तव्यं ब्रहमकर्मसमाधिना". 

While reading this chapter, a question came to my mind - What if some of the children are vegetarian. Will the others not be allowed not to bring Sea Food?

Slooh - Arav Agarwal

I would like to thank My Good School, Sandeep Sir and Sukhpreet Ma’am for allowing me to explore space through Slooh. It has been an exciting experience exploring Slooh through live telescopes. It is like a dream come true for me.

I learned many different things about stars, galaxies, nebulas and planets. I have many interesting observations, and one of the exciting observations is about Neptune. This planet has winds reaching 1300 mph, an extensive storm system similar to Jupiter's GRS, and a faint ring system. Neptune's largest moon Triton is sometimes visible.

We can go on missions and explore specific celestial objects through the live telescopes in Slooh. Slooh also helps us to know more about space through guides and quests. By exploring directions, we can know more about a particular celestial object, and through quests, we get tasks to capture and explore space. After completing that task, we reflect on our findings and learnings and earn a badge!

I have earned three thousand three hundred gravity points and fifteen badges. Oh! What a journey it has been. So, if you are inquisitive about knowing more about space and astronomy, join the incredible journey of Slooh with My Good School.
