Buddha Purnima Celebrations at EYC

Our young learners came together for an assembly to celebrate Buddha Purnima. The children listened carefully to the story of Gautam Buddha’s life. The story helped them learn about his teachings and the important values of kindness, mindfulness, and peace that he practised. During the assembly, students and teachers took calm breaths, sat in quiet reflection, and shared warm smiles. 

Sharing Adventures, Building Bridges

On May 6th, our students actively participated in a vibrant online Round Square Worldwide 'Show and Tell' event, connecting with peers from schools across the globe. The engaging theme for this session was “Our Favourite Adventure,” challenging students to share their memorable experiences through concise 2-minute presentations followed by an interactive Q & A session.

Acrostics of Affection

In a heartwarming celebration of Mother's Day, the students of Class 1B poured their love and gratitude into beautiful acrostic poems — each one inspired by the most special word of all: MOTHER.

Their poems reflected the many qualities that make mothers so extraordinary:
M – Magical
O – Original
T – Thoughtful
H – Helpful
E – Energetic
R – Radiant

From Vada Pav to Values

Our curious learners marked Maharashtra's 65th birthday by reflecting on and writing about the things they love most about our vibrant and diverse state. From ‘vada pav’ to Sanjay Gandhi National Park, the Marathi language spoken to the different people we meet every day, our learners beautifully captured the essence of महाराष्ट्र.

Waste Segregation in Action

Our curious Grade 4 learners recently took a field trip to the Dry Waste Collection Centre in Bandra, run by the Aasra Welfare Foundation along with the BMC. They got an up-close look at how Mumbai’s dry waste is sorted into more than 48 categories — including plastic, e-waste, glass, textiles, and multi-layered packaging (MLP). Students walked through primary and secondary segregation areas, learned how different materials are recovered, and even watched machines compress plastic into neat, compact bales ready for recycling.

Class 3 Organises a Trade Fair

The "How We Organise Ourselves" Unit of Inquiry in Class 3 reached an exciting and real-world conclusion with a bustling Trade Fair, a testament to the students' journey, through Project-Based Learning. This culmination served as a powerful platform for them to apply the knowledge and skills they developed over the past weeks. 

Professional Development with Joshua Blue

Joshua Blue, Principal at the Japanese International School in Hong Kong, visited the NMAJS Early Years Campus for a two-day professional development workshop focused on documenting learning stories and honouring children’s theories in the context of assessment.

Reading in Difficult Times

In moments of uncertainty, stories have the power to comfort, inspire, and connect us. Our PYP readers recently embarked on a meaningful literary journey across cultures and continents through powerful books like Listen to the Wind by Greg Mortensen, The Librarian’s Stories by Lucy Falcone, and My Library Is a Camel. 

Inspiring Young Changemakers: Earth Day Celebrations in the PYP  

At NMAJS, Earth Day is not just a date on the calendar—it is a powerful reminder of our responsibility to care for the planet we call home. This year, our Primary Years Programme (PYP) students commemorated Earth Day with a two-week-long initiative to raise awareness, foster responsibility, and drive positive action. 

Empathy, Ecology, and Enterprise: A Holistic Learning Adventure

Our MYP students recently embarked on a unique and enriching learning journey during their visit to the breathtaking Vantara.
This immersive experience beautifully wove together themes of wildlife conservation, sustainable agriculture, and modern industry, offering students a holistic and impactful perspective of animal care and conservation.
