Meeting the author – Ken Spillman
It was a bright summer afternoon at Jeevana. The children of classes IV and V gathered to meet the renowned author, Ken Spillman. Ken Spillman is one of Australia’s most talented and productive writers, editors, and reviewers. Ken Spillman, who has written almost 100 volumes, has worked on both fiction and non-fiction. He has won numerous awards and been nominated for many more. His engaging lectures on the power of books, the gift of imagination, and the innumerable advantages of creative thinking have delighted more than 90,000 kids. Who doesn’t enjoy listening to stories? Alongside the children, teachers at Jeevana happily sat down to enjoy his stories.
Thunderous applause from our aspiring writers greeted Dr. Ken as he entered the venue. Dr. Ramesh, our director, joyfully sat among our children and delightedly joined the storytelling session. Dr. Ken Spillman was introduced to our kids by our principal, Ms. Padma Chandrasekhar, a voracious reader. Our young writers Mithra and Shea Santhoshi honoured Mr. Spillman. When he learned that Shea had already published a book, ‘Galaxia’ he was thrilled and asked about it. Shea enthusiastically presented her book to Dr. Ken.
When he addressed our young writers, Mr. Spillman got down from the stage and plunged into the children for an astounding narration of his stories. ‘Vroom, Vroom, Vroom!’, he exclaimed. The sounds he generated for narration amused our kids. Mr. Spillman presented Jake, a fictional character, in his story Jake’s Concert Horror. It grabbed everyone’s attention because concert horrors are a common occurrence in everyone’s school experience, and they are always relatable. After narrating for an hour, he was seen among the children, answering a questionnaire. He responded to the queries posed to him by our aspiring writers with patience. Our little Jeevanites asked some fantastic, impromptu questions. Our kids have picked up a number of the author’s books, and they enjoy reading them. Meeting the well-known author Ken Spillman was an amazing event for all of us.

Through the eyes of Shri Kamatchi ,11 A
April 21, 2023, was a day we arrived at School for the Astronomy night with stars in our eyes. After the night sky had become clearer,we were shown binary stars ,Mars and Venus through the telescope. The potluck organised by school was a cosmic success . The mind-blowing video depicting the facets of the universe was a visual treat. The Q & A session rounded up a very productive and fun-filled day as we departed reluctantly towards home.
Through the eyes of Mithra 9C
On the 20th of May, 2023, we attended Astronomy Night Camp in our school premises. We got to look through two different telescopes and observe Venus, non-binary and other clusters of stars in the night sky. Most of the students had never seen through a telescope before, so it was a very fascinating experience. I loved how the instructors were so patient and explained exactly how to observe the stars to each student. Our favourite part of the camp was the animations and software that the instructor used to compare the sizes of moons, planets, and gradually increasing to the size of stars and even black-holes in outer space. This made us all realize how enormous our universe truly is. It was super cool to see a visual, three-dimensional representation of all those heavenly bodies. Overall, it was space-tacular!
The HM of Std 7 and 8 Ms.Premalalitha, & Ms Rochas Jeba, the Head of Make a Difference committee visited the Joseph Blind school at Paravai to donate two bureaus on the 16th of March.

Children must take part in sports because it is essential for their fitness, health and positive overall development. When they participate in sporting activities, it has a positive impact on their overall growth. Sports enable children to learn about teamwork. When they play in a team, they learn to work with others to achieve a particular goal. This will have a positive impact on their overall growth and is beneficial for when they start working as adults in a team and not just as individuals.

As the Christmas mood set in, our little babies were ready to build Mr.Frosty – the snowman. Then came the decoration part, where our buddies were busy decorating for the Christmas season . Finally they welcomed everyone with their beautiful green wreath which looked very vibrant and spread happiness among the crowd. Cute bunnies and crunches topped the show with our little bunnies hopping around happily eating their crunchy carrots. As the spectators waited eagerly, we saw Santa Clause coming to town bringing presents and joy to all of us.Our balancing beauties stole the show with their tremendous balancing skill and then came our cheer leaders who rocked the show with their beautiful performance once again. Evergreen trees have traditionally been used to celebrate winter festivals. The joy of the festival was brought to life with the scintillating and enchanting Christmas Tree.When children play sports, they learn how to conduct themselves in social situations. Along with that, they also learn how to bond with people and build relationships. As we all know, team sports help children to build stronger relationships. It teaches them respect.
