“We all were children once. We shall share the desire for the wellbeing of our children which has always been and will continue to be the most universally cherished aspiration of humankind.” A day marking childhood. The day is celebrated to pay tribute to the legendary freedom fighter popularly known as cha-cha. Children’s day was celebrated at Credence High School with great enthusiasm with focus on children and their enjoyment. Celebrations began with a Special Assembly in our school Auditorium and this time it was the teachers who prepared and performed everything for the children. The teachers began right from conducting the assembly to performing a mix of Fusion and Indian dance. The teachers sang and enacted on stage to entertain the children. There was a lot of excitement and enjoyment in the air. Amongst these was a MIME show for the children with a message to stay positive and never dishearten for little things that we don’t get in life.

The auditorium was buzzing with excitement and joy of colorfully dressed children. The event was a grand splendor and fiesta for the students and our teachers thoroughly enjoyed organizing the whole theme with ‘love from teachers to students’.

“There are many little ways to enlarge your child’s world. Love of books is the best of all”.                                                      

                                                                - Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Books are a mirror of one’s soul which enrich the mind and soothe the heart. Books introduce us into the best society whereas knowledge is gained from the real life experiences. Inculcating a love for books and reading is a habit that catapults a child to succeed and achieve greatness. In line with the vision of seeing UAE as a cultural and reading talent and to spread the wealth of knowledge that reading provides, Credence High School organized a visit to the Sharjah Book Fair for all the students of Grade 3 to 8 on Thursday, 9^th November 2017.

On reaching the Sharjah book fair the whole area wore a festive look with a unique arrangement and a great crowd all over the fair. There were lot of bookstalls beautifully decorated. Every book stall was full of various kinds of books. The children enjoyed the fair and picked books varying from science to spooky stories; from puzzles to poems; and from fiction to facts. The teachers equally helped the children in selecting the books. The children wished the fair to last for a longer time as it would give them an opportunity to read and access more informative literature besides their efficiency loaded school library. Besides picking their favorite books the children also participated in some fun activities like art work and cooking corner. The overall trip to the book fair was very memorable and the children thoroughly enjoyed it.

Competitions play a vital role in motivating students to perform and excel and offer a lot more reward than just the winning prize. Competitions offer a chance for participants to gain substantial experience, showcase skills, analyze and evaluate outcomes which helps them uncover personal aptitude. We at Credence encourage our students to be a part of such competitions .With full zeal some of our bright sparks participated in the Kidzania Braniac 2 Quiz Competition conducted by Emaar Entertainment at KidZania Main Plaza Theatre located at ‘The Dubai Mall’.

They were 5 students each from Grade 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively who competed against another school of the same Grade. Every round was a mixed bag with different types of questions from Grammar, Math, Science and Geography where each correct answer earned them 10 points and any wrong answer deducted 5 points as well. The quiz master conducted the quiz in a very interactive way and the teams participated with great enthusiasm. Though some of the questions were tricky, the teams tried to answer them skillfully and with full confidence. This competition was all about being fast in punching the buzzer. The team who was quick in pressing the buzzer were the ones who got the chance to answer first. It was a remarkable competition which was more than just a quiz. It was a good opportunity for our children as it developed and improved their soft skills. It proved to be a great source of self-evaluation for students and will surely help to nurture their experience and skills further.

“BOOKS”. Books are the best gift you can give to someone. A same book read twice gives you knowledge in two different ways. The more a child reads, the larger their vocabulary becomes. With fluency and comprehension comes greater reading confidence and to bring about this confidence our Grade 1C students performed a wonderful skit, ‘The Boy who hates to read’ with a well-choreographed song that conveyed the message of how important it is to read books and how reading books can change one’s life.

The parents could witness the children’s pleasing smiles, positive attitude, and confidence while they gave a dynamic performance enacting their characters. The children were at their best grabbing all the attention from parents leaving them speechless with their vivacious presentation.
