MAKE SAFETY A DAILY HABIT!

Here are the top ten tips ...

Never take lifts from strangers! Get into the car of

known people who your parents approve. Even

then ,let your mum or dad know who you are with.

Always be aware of what is going on around

you. You can avoid many harmful and unsafe

situations by being aware of

your surroundings! Take off

your earphones; don't

compromise your safety just

to look cool.

Kids, you do not need to carry

name brand stuff or loads of

money on you, especially

when you go out with just your

friends. People are always

watching and no matter what you think, you are

not invincible!

Whenever you think you are in danger

you can simply shout for help. Almost

always, people who are in the vicinity will

respond positively to your cry for help..

There is no harm in shouting and no one

will think twice that a kid has screamed

unnecessarily.

Know what is happening around you. If there is too

much unrest and any signs of a mob or a crowd-

fight,just leave. Don't panic in a situation, such as

a fire or an earthquake. Just follow instructions

and move in an orderly fashion.

1. TRAVEL only in known vehicles

2. BE AWARE of your surroundings

3. Carry only WHAT IS

NEEDED

4. SCREAM for help

5. Be ALERT

A: ................................................

6. Show BRAVERY

7. KEEP IN TOUCH with near and dear

9. BE CAREFUL in water

10. NEVER WALK ALONE

If you think you are being stalked or followed, do

not panic. Be calm and composed and see that

you reach a place that has enough people

around so that you can ask for help.

Kids should always carry the PHONE numbers

and addresses of their parents or guardians. This

can be of timely help

especially if you are lost in a

crowd.

of strangers

This should be strictly

followed by kids that they

never ever talk to an

unknown person. In fact, they

may appreciate the child's

safety sense that the kid is

showing ample maturity in

this regard.

Kids need to know the basic dangers of

water and what to do and what not to do

with water. Swimming pools and

seashores are the main places that have

proved fatal due to lack of personal

safety by kids and their guardians.

Kids should always play or walk in groups, so

that if in trouble, there is someone else to help

you out of the situation. What's more, you are not

exposed to dangers of kidnapping for ransom by

stalkers and thieves.

RecipeEggless chocolate

mug cake

Ingredients

Method:

Serves: 1

4 tablespoons plain flour2 1/2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder4 tablespoons sugar1/2 tablespoons baking powder7 tablespoons Coca Cola

Mix all ingredients together into an over-sized mug. This cake rises a lot so if you don't have a very large mug, I suggest you split the mixture into two mugs after mixing. Mix with a small whisk until no lumps remain.For one oversized mug, microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. The cake should have a dry surface and the knife inserted should come out clean. You may want to reduce the time for two smaller mugs.Tip--This cake rises a lot so watch out.

Disney makes the best movies for any

age, anytime. An all time favourite,

"The Love Bug" is one such classic.

The story about a race car that feels

and has moods is such an unusual

concept. The original movie was

released in 1968, and has since been

retold a few times...the latest starring

Lindsay Lohan in "Herbie". Even if you

have seen the latest movie...the old

ones are a classic that can be viewed

again and again.

TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITIES

Unity is the biggest strength of any institution.

This value was evident when the team

building activities were performed by the

students of Classes VI & VII under the

guidance of PTIs. The students

were given many challenging

tasks to do and all of them

participated whole- heartedly.

Their enthusiasm and the spirit

to win made the atmosphere

lively and vivacious. It proved a

great exercise to instill the

value of discipline as well.

Holiday HW display

Summer vacations are enjoyed by one and all

but vacations are always accompanied with the

Summer Holiday Home work. This year also

the students were given very interesting topics

for HHW. Classes VI & VII displayed their

holiday projects Housewise and each House

was given marks on the basis of the content,

quality and the presentation. HHW helps to

arouse the curiosity of the students on a given

topic and aid them to use their creativity to the

maximum.

SCIENCE EXHIBITION

Dr. Abdul Kalam did not become a scientist

in one day. Since his childhood, he observed

his surroundings carefully and simply tried to

reflect on the changes he noticed. The

Pinnaclites are also given the opportunity to

showcase their scientific aptitude and skills in

the Science Exhibition. The budding scientists

of Classes IV - VIII participated and displayed

excellent projects, experiments and

demonstrations based on various concepts of

Science.

When you see a flock of sheep, have you

noticed a peculiar thing about it? In the flock,

there is no leader; yet the sheep always follow

the one who walks in front. It appears as if the

first sheep is leading the group.

Unlike sheep, human beings are different in

attitude, capabilities and nature . In spite of all of

these differences, almost all of us accept

whatever comes our way.

So what is the solution? We need to have a Head

that can lead and show us the path to progress.

Someone one who does not dictate but works on

the principle of consensus. Someone whose

actions resolves conflicts and motivates the

weaker ones.

As Mother

Teresa said, “You can do what I cannot do; I cannot do what you can do. Together we can do

great things.”

The Pinnacle School prides itself on its

Leadership Programmes. All students are given

the opportunity to become involved in building up

their leadership potential, whether as a Captain,

Vice-Captain, Monitor or even as the Head Boy

or Head Girl of the School.

Remember... the difference

between a Boss and a Leader is, a Boss says

“go” and a Leader says “Let's go”.
