TRANSCRIPT
HELLO PARENTS!Our First Term has just concluded, and we begin in right earnest with our next session.
What have we learned this new school year from a digital way of life that has dictated pace and
routine?! We believe that as a team, we have held together and ensured learning never stopped! We
have adopted new ways of working, entertaining and lifting morale and it worked! Necessity has indeed
been the architect of new invention!
Let us hold the faith that we will overcome this global health crisis. What we continue to do and how
well we do it, will define us this academic year. Let us achieve the goals together.
Best wishes from Team NAFL!
Indira Jayakrishnan
Principal
TEACHER SPEAK
Virtual teaching has been a journey from ppt to pen tab😊. As we familiarisedourselves with the techniques of sharing virtual whiteboards, students learned to raise their hands virtually.
Virtual teaching and learning have kept the bond between the teachers and students intact. It has helped education evolve into a new dimension
It's challenging and a great experience which taught me the need for adaptation to new normal and the need for self reflection on effectiveness of our teaching strategies
Apprehensive about the effectiveness of the virtual classes initially, but I got accustomed to it quite fast. Though I've adapted to the new form of schooling, I miss the smiling faces and the physical classes.
Initially the whole process was daunting
and challenging but now I am exploring
myself in the new era of teaching and learning.
Covid19 Alert!

STUDENT SPEAKI reckon that online schooling is an experience that's been
more blessing than curse, owing to the flexibility
introduced and therefore, I embrace the change
Online school has been a roller coaster ride of very new experiences, especially since I've just newly joined NAFL. But what is amazing is the
way the teachers adapted and worked around the problem
so effortlessly.
Virtual learning has been a mixed bag of surprises in
the past few months. Despite having all your
resources a click away, it has been an isolated,
oftentimes lonesome process. It short, I do miss
school a lot!
It’s not like online learning is new to our generation, we’ve been using social
media as an effective learning platform for years,
but I just don’t like being miles away from my friends
and my teachers.
I can't watch TV for more than 45 minutes at a time, how can I take classes?!" was my mindset coming into this academic year,
but keeping in touch with friends and enjoying my
time at home has kept me going so far!
Being scolded at for arriving late to class or munching
snacks during class, cracking random jokes, having fun with teachers n friends,
sitting together for lunch and stealing each other’s
food etc etc. is being majorly missed!
