Editor’s Note:

With a remarkable past month, we now welcome the holy month of Ramadan with our hearts filled with peace, harmony and joy. We have stories we want to tell, and you are a great audience who is willing to gather around the campfire to listen to them. Thanks for your love and support.

Coming to school reminds me of my own teachers who then were solely responsible for making me a person, I am today. Likewise, each of Ambassador student, who when grows up, is going to realize the amount of love and efforts which have gone into making his experiences memorable and his schooling a celebrated experience. This edition brings you the different hues of children from cultivating their gratitude to showcasing their untapped talent through our ‘Talent Show’ to trying their hands at being culinary chefs, we have it all!

It’s a New Month……a New Beginning….a New Focus……and New Intentions!

Happy Reading!!

From the Principal’s Desk

Dear Parents,

When was the last time we took a flight of stairs instead of using escalators to go up a floor? How often do we reach out to a cup of fresh fruits instead of a bag of crisps/ frozen food? Do we really need to take out our cars to go to a store which is probably just a block or two away? Why have we changed from steel containers to plastic boxes? Why are we substituting natural ingredients with artificial flavours?

It’s high time that we introspect on our lifestyle because majority of our health related challenges are a result of the choices we make/ not make. Right from how we eat to what we eat has had a major impact on our health. There is no better time than now to start living healthy, for ourselves and for our children too.

It is rightly stated that ‘A healthy lifestyle not only changes the body, it changes your mind, your attitude and your mood’ - Anonymous.

So healthy living and happy living!

Looking Ahead….With best regards,

Rashmi Nagendra

‘Shukran’ - Attitude of Gratitude

Attitude of Gratitude

“Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.” Indeed, gratitude is one of the hallmarks of a life lived well. Just as we teach our kids to read and write, we also educate them in gratitude. And it’s never too early to start.

We want our children to be able to relate to other people’s feelings and to feel a sense of belonging in their classrooms and community. Cultivating a sense of gratefulness goes a long way toward this goal. Our children thank their loving aunties who lookafter their needs with utmost care andtheir bus driver uncles who drive themto school and back home safely.

Impact of emotions in learningChildren aren’t born with pleasant or unpleasant

temperaments. A child’s ability to cope is not innate. It is adaptive or trainable. Teachers acquired a

specific training from renowned Educational Psychologist and Counsellor, Dr.Onita Nakra in socio-

emotional skills to establish neurological pathways that make children less vulnerable to anxiety and

enable them to recover more quickly from unhappy experiences.

Our Mission: “May you continue to Shine, no matter the Storms you have been through”

Of all the gifts that life has to offer, a Loving Mother is greatest of them all.

Dear Mommies, you are Magnificent Outstanding Tender Humble Extraordinary Remarkable

Children created a special Mother’s day card for their loving mothers because…. To the world, you are a Mother but to the childrenyou are the World!!

The school is a place which develops a child’s confidence and learning to help him face the world once he grows. ‘I am Special’ event provided a myriad of opportunities for our children; a platform to demonstrate their talent and come on stage and gather confidence to face the crowd, a stepping-stone to achieving greater things in life. Each performance was unique and innocence personified! Hats off to Our Special Ambassadors …….

Eco Club

Our initial attempt of creating awareness about the environment has progressed to creating an Eco-Club in school and thereby a greener Earth! Our young children are powerful advocates for

the conservation of natural resources and limiting waste. Children are learning to reduce waste,

reuse available resources, conserve energy, grow more plants and take care of our Earth!!

Let's come together and save our planet before it's too late.

Health Club

“Our true wealth is not pieces of gold and silver but a healthy mind in an equally healthy body.”

-Mahatma Gandhi

Good health may seem natural at a young age, but maintaining physical and emotional wellbeing often requires us to develop healthy lifestyle habits while our children are still in their prime. Thinking a step ahead and preparing for their future can prolong their quality of life. Health club favorably influences the habits', attitude and knowledge related to good health to our children. The club provides

physical exercise, awareness of cleanliness, importance of nutritious food and being happy!!!!!

Healthy isn’t a goal…..it’s a way of living!!!

Reading day

Reading Day is a day to celebrate literacy. It’s the perfect time to get young readers excited

about enhancing their reading skills. Children have a great time when they wear a hat that relates to

their favorite book. There’s something about wearing a football helmet, pirate hat, or princess tiara that really gets young readers excited about books! Children became more enthusiastic about reading when a parent dropped by to read one of

their favorite stories.

Reading is dreaming with open eyes……….

Star of the Week

Good deeds deserve good treats! With the initiative of the ‘Star of the Week’ program in

classrooms, children are motivated to good practices and appropriate behavior. It affects

every aspect of school life, from attendance, to academic performance, to extra-curricular

activities. A positive recognition does wonders for the child’s morale and enthusiasm about school.

Little Chef

Cooking with kids is not just about ingredients, recipes and cooking! Healthy

Food being the theme, Kindergarten children made smart choices with their Imagination and Creativity and brought life to their recipe. Our Little Chefs!!

Visit to the Mosque!

At Ambassador Nursery we believe that nursery rhymes are

important for young children because they help develop an ear for

language. Dress Up Day of their favourite nursery rhyme character

was held on 11th May to enhance their communication skills. It was a

successful event and we thank all the parents for their support as

usual.

Nursery children had fun listening and following the beats of the drums

during a session conducted by professional drum facilitator from Dubai

Drums. Each class was given 40 minute session to enjoy and explore the

sound beat. Learning is never boring!
