Dear Parent,
It has been a month of intensive studies and engaging curricular activities. Our vibrant,
young learners made the most of the opportunities to learn and grow the CVSL way.
With the second Unit Test scheduled and the mid-Term break coming up I believe our
students will once again learn to multi-task and time manage their everyday life
effectively and efficiently. Glimpses of the events are in the pages that follow. Promising
sunny days lie ahead of us as we leave behind the beautiful weather in Lonavala to
embrace the summer.

4. NAB LIONS Home for the ageing blind
Students of Years 4,5 and 6 visited the Home for the Ageing
blind as part of their community service activity. The centre
houses 70 visually impaired men and women above the age
of 55 years. Our students worked every day at school to
learn songs and stories in Marati which they recited to the
elderly. On Feb 2, 2019 when students visited the home they
were impressed at the socio-economic ability of the elderly
who were involved in activities such as weaving, knitting,
embroidery, tailoring, caning chairs, making decorative
candles and incense sticks. It was an emotional day for our
students and an eye-opener to the difficulties the elderly
face every day along with depleting health.

5. A group of 23 students from Year 4 to 6 set out to study the pre-historic and
historic caves called the Bhaja Caves. An important part of their history learning
is “sources of history”. On the experiential trip to Bhaja Caves students studied
about dating the caves, made an attempt to write their names in the Brahmi
script and understood the role of geology and ancient water harvesting
techniques.

7. Kundalika River Visit

8. On Feb 18 and 19 students of Years 7 and 8 set out to Kolhad to investigate the shape, morphology,
straight and meandering sections of the river. They investigated the PH balance of the river water. They
also enjoyed rafting and kayaking. River Kundalika is fed by the excess water from Tata Power’s Mulshi
Dam Project. The gush of the water which is released at 6.00 am reaches Kolhad at 10.00 am making it
easy to study velocity and speed.
