Quality of Education at Hallmark

Schools are always skeptical on how to improve the quality of teaching and learning which would make children feel more motivated and inculcate a sense of competitiveness. The fundamental goal is to make children value and ‘own’ their education?

Teachers are the Guiding Force

As a society, we spend plenty of time, resources and money in steps which would improve the quality of education in our schools. It becomes extremely imperative to understand that teachers are one strong consistent factor which acts as a prime whose potential and aptitude, knowledge and eagerness are pivotal  in determining the success or otherwise, of the children they teach Some teachers and professors treat students like sausages to be stuffed with information

Practical and Theoretical Knowledge

Hallmark is one of the Best CBSE Schools in Panchkula who fosters in giving quality education to their students.  The school focuses on blending of practical as well as theoretical knowledge for they believe that it is very much essential to follow a right and correct teaching pedagogy which would help the child decipher his curriculum in a much more superior manner. Creativity is the key element which they use in their teaching methodology which makes a child learn better and retain longer. The quality of education at hallmark delivered speaks for unique way of teaching which enables a child to think beyond his classroom and put his own creativity into words .The teachers at Hallmark treat students like oysters, they stimulate, encourage and  develop an interest in the students.

Smart Class Concept

With Smart Class concept being practiced in very class, the school is making learning fun and teaching more interesting and more interactive with usage of smart boards with 3D effects. The curriculum should be broad and flexible and designed in such a way that students become lifelong learners and contributors towards the society. School not only provides a structured education but  promotes a child’s mental and psychological growth through quality education.

Teaching the art of Calligraphy

The aim of the blog: To teach your child an Art which can be a help for them to improve their handwriting. Fetch more marks while you fetch an art.

‘Calligraphy is not all about Pen, you need to grab the right paper too’

To start with Calligraphy, you need to be familiar with few basic skills. It demands you to understand the ‘Think and Thin’ effect which can please the eyes. The continuous patterns and the strokes used can make the text look incredible. The art of Calligraphy should be taught in schools to give power to the words of a child.

Choosing the Right Way

Brush pen, Fountain pen or a Dip pen; whichever you are using, Make sure you are using it the right way. The flat and broad nip should be kept at a constant angle. It should be kept horizontally against the paper at an angle of 30-45 degrees. Don’t stress the pen; it is there to flow smoothly.

Ascending line, Waistline Baseline and the descending line forms the base to understand the Calligraphy Script. When you learn the art of marking strokes from topmost line to the bottom line, the work is half done. A lot of practice and patience will help you learn different kinds of strokes like downward stroke, basic curves, diagonal lines etc. Thereafter; you can start practising word writing. For example, to write a small letter ‘a’, you should start with a downward stroke from waistline to bottom line.

The calligraphy art is an expression which lets come up with your own style. It is versatile, dynamic and easy to learn.  This way you are able to find peace when there is chaos around because it is therapeutic and meditative.

Tip: Choosing the right paper is one of the most important tasks. A good quality paper doesn’t make the text bleed or blurry.

So, get immersed you to this beautiful form of writing which can make things look not better but the Best.  

Greet Every Child with Care

A child is a sensitive being and not everyone has the art to be friends with them. The best part is that a child can be a source of positivity. But, the worst part is that a child doesn’t like to be greeted wrongly. While you greet a child, you should take care of his/her expectations and needs. You can’t just remain busy with your work and take them for granted. “Greet your child with a smile, not a Mobile”. Next time when you greet a child, just take care of these below jotted few pointers;

Don’t Pinch a Cheek

This could be painful as well as unhygienic for the child. The disappearing looks from the child can convey his discomfort feeling. Even though the child is chubby and cute, control your emotions and stay away from doing that.

Don’t Pat the head

You might think that it’s a friendly gesture but the child is often not happy with this. He/she is not going to be around when you will be in the room. Imagine a child patting your head. Will you like that? Patting might be acceptable, but the intensity and the intentions are considered.

Don’t look angry, Smile!

A smiling face is a way to a child’s heart. When you greet a child, keep aside all your worries and stress... Make them feel special and ask them about their well being. Don’t bombard them with questions and yes, do not lecture them. Treat them as fragile beings because that is what they are.

Once you make a repo with them, you are allowed to be little frank.The child will create an image of yours in initial few meetings.

Parents and teachers need to fill a child with so much self-esteem that no one can steal it from their personalities.

All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy

Co Curricular activities play a very integral role in the formative years of a child’s development. Such activities are real and give practical experiences to the students.  Profoundly, there is a better understanding of the theoretical knowledge when the same is imparted practically through creativity. The intellectual aspects of students personality is through classroom teaching but the  aesthetic development, character building, spiritual growth, physical growth, moral values, creativity,  etc. are supported by co-curricular activities  which further adds to frankness and clarity in communication among the students .

Every child is unique in his own ways and there is no method to inculcate creativity in him without the best school education.  The hallmark of a child is innocence and that is what needs to be kept alive. No one is born intelligent, artistic and creative; that is what is meant to be learnt. It’s the duty of a parent to teach them all what is required. But, sadly the busy routines have ruined this. The boon which has been surviving till now to resolve this is school education.

Don’t just go with the flow, just get set go and start searching today! Your child’s future is in your hands.

Hallmark Sets a Benchmark on Global Platform

The Nalayaks, the robotics team of Hallmark Public School Panchkula feels ecstatic on its splendid triumph of ‘Best Robot Design for Strategy Innovation’ Award amongst 91 teams from 36 different countries in the FLL International Open Championship at the University of Bath, Bath (United Kingdom). India stands proud to witness its budding technical experts – Jatin Chhabra, Pankhuri Garg, and Kunal Garg – at such a tender age making their country win such a significant award and get recognised at a global platform.

Once again the Nalayaks have proved that they are Genius. The team believes that it’s their perspective that matters the most. As impossible says- “I’m Possible”. NALAYAKS “NA! (WE ARE) Layaks.” Interestingly the three musketeers have put it in a right way that perspective does matter and perhaps it is an integral part of mankind and its history.

The Nalayaks are the Genius

Exhuberant over their achievement at an international platform, Jatin Chhabra-the captain of the Nalayaks exclaimed, “The very thought of participating in the international competition and competing with foreign kids itself was as thrilling as the actual experience. Despite increasing politicization among different nations, especially a country like Pakistan, we had altogether a different experience. Our interaction with other teams, to some extent, bridged the gap and enhanced the mutual understanding & global unity.” When asked about their Robot Design, Jatin said, “It requires remarkable inventiveness, imagination, exceptionally hard work with an earnest strategy to build an innovative and incredible robot that can perform the assigned tasks impeccably in specific time limit apart from having a visual appeal.”

It is the invincible attitude and the undaunted will power of the entire team inclusive of Pankhuri Garg- Robot Operator-cum-Project Lead and Kunal Garg- the Chief Programmer that such an exceptional achievement could have been possible.

Feeling on the top of the world, Parkhuri Garg shared, “It was really an exciting and fun global robotics-based, life skills challenge program that ignited in us an enthusiasm for discovery, science, and technology. We spent most of our time in the school laboratory developing the most innovative, economical and effective solution to the problem of ‘Varroa mite’ for our project enticed us to think like scientists and engineers. More challenging was to represent India as well as striving to create a niche at international level. Now that we have won this competition, it is certainly going to brighten up our profile.”

Kunal Garg, who has already represented India in MOS Championship-USA, shared his team’s journey to the University of Bath, UK how they used to feel butterflies in their stomach before every challenge, “Representing India and endeavouring not to let down our motherland amongst 36 nations was the real pressure and challenge. But with a firm faith and strong conviction in our hearts, we went ahead amidst critical analyses and feedback of our performance provided by the panel of jury and won the Best Robot Design for Strategy Innovation award.”

Benchmark on Global Platform

Mr. Jivtesh Garg-Director of Hallmark Public School congratulated the team Nalayaks for its glorious victory in the FLL International Championship and also wished them the best of luck for the future.

Calling it a fantastic accomplishment, Ms. KavitaWadhwa-Principal of the school felicitated the team members for setting another benchmark on a global platform.

Human Animal Relationship

The competition is wholly and solely based on the criteria of Human and Animal Relationship. The focus is to find such progress in which the animal gets all the benefits without any material interference of humans in their natural habitat. The robot operated by the team will take care of the working mechanism which will further help the animals to grow well and nurture in their areas. The project aims at building better and mutual understanding between the two. The human efforts to counter different problems faced by the variety of animals are the biggest challenge for the team. 

Successive role of the School

The Hallmark Public School focuses on Intellectual, spiritual, emotional and aesthetic development of every student. It provides wonderful opportunity to the students in the field of art, culture, dance, acting, public speaking, social interaction, quizzing, environment awareness and scientific relevance.

She adds, “Our team has the sporting spirit which has helped us evolved individually as well.” She is an example to young females all over the world. We respect her from the core of our hearts.

Learning and Principles

The competition is based on the three principle theory which is essential for the team to win the ultimate challenge in the field. Those beliefs are building core values between the team members and the teams respectively, project design which includes innovation, ideas, efforts, techniques and model construction and last but not the least is Robot designing which again talks about the importance of artificial intelligence and its value in the present world. These three are the key features which aim to select the best team in the competition. If the team has these three qualities; undoubtedly the winning is inevitable.

What is with the bees?

The team NALAYAK is not limiting its imagination of intelligence to the project theme only. They have been working on another rising problem which is mounting extinction of bees in the world. The team explained the various means through which the problem can be curbed in its natural haitat without causing any further damage to the environment.

The objective of the championship clearly states the aim to strengthen the innovative ideas of the students across different nations. The League has shown meticulousness in the field of environmental protection. Students are highly engaged in showcasing their talents and a minimum of 2 minutes and 30 seconds are provided to each team in order to display their month long efforts. Team NALAYAKS are keenly involved in the preparations and enhancement of their project which they believe will surly lead them to the success road.

They play a crucial part in the uplifting of the team and their present success.
Impossible is nothing but a doubt that leads to failures, says the NALAYAKS

Know Their Robot

The Robot game is not lucid as it seems. There is months of preparations and dedication involved and of course most of the time is dedicated in making of a Chassis. Chassis is the base which will decide the fortune of the team. Every team plan and build it with the help of design and mechanical assistance of their team members and further programming is done to carry forward the game.

The NALAYAKS chassis is a wonder box and they are proud of it. They have put in their best efforts to create a chassis which has many scandalizing features. It is something where your trust lies in. The NALAYAKS chassis has 3 colour sensors which instantly take commands and follow it up during the game, they have designed racks which are meant to complete the tasks, they have build various cages of different sizes which can be quickly fit in or get attached to the chassis in a few seconds; saving their precious time and making them score more.

The Gear Job

Gears are something which can make you perplexed as well as put you in a dilemma at the same time. One has to be very careful while using them. The NALAYAKS have used many different Gears in their Chassis and they are very confident about their unique qualities. The kind of gears chosen is Bevel gears, Tooth gears, crown gears, Pinion and Dog gears. One very important thing to be kept in mind while attaching them with chassis is the gap or the distance required between the gears, their sizes and suitability. Gears monitors and works as driving mechanism to the chassis. Pankhuri the project head of the team said, “Dog gears are my personal favourite because of its clutch mechanism that helps in quicker attachment between the cages and the chassis.” Pinions are basically driving gears, they speed up the chassis and crown gears are powerful, rough and tough, they are also called knob gears. Streamlined use of hear suitability is again important. The team thus is applying different mechanism to tackle various challenges and overcoming complexities of the game.

Distinctiveness of their Rob

Not many are good at taking risks but when it comes to The NALAYAK, they are up for turning any stone in every possible way! They have used Gyro sensors which have not been used by any of the team presently in the competition. They are also known as angular velocity sensors. They are sharp and sensitive in nature. It work as a magnet or compass in the chassis. It is a product of future electronics. They are many types of gyro sensors, it is very important that you pick the most suitable one for your chassis. There qualities are that they are angle sensing and works as control mechanisms for the chassis. The team gives Kunal every bit of praise since he is the programmer and has done great research in knowing it.

Create and Ideate

Designing and Programming are two imperative words which hold an essential significance in the Robot game. Designing helps in creating the structure of the Robot and programming helps in directing it. These two moves parallel to each other. They are of great strategic significance. There are different mechanisms which are used to run the Robot and some analyses is done to accomplish the mission. Not only this, one has to keep vigilance over the rival teams because their strategies will affect the score in the final game. The Robot game requires active research. A lot of parallel planning is done before creating the final structure of the chassis.  Chassis or a Robot box is the most important device on which the game is relied upon.

Chasing an apt Chassis

It usually takes months to build a chassis because all the tasks are supposed to be performed by it. The “Chassis or the Robot is our strength in the game; our months of hard work and practices will portray our efforts by it. It is the key to success. It is a golden device which will help us win the game.” said by the captain of the team. Captain Jatin has been working on the project since a good time now and has full-fledged knowledge about its operations.

Chassis made by The NALAYAKS has color sensors which in itself is a superb innovation. “The size and type of the wheels used, distances between the gears, angle and weight of the Robot, kind of motors to fit in and choosing the right tracks and cages is what makes a chassis a perfect Robot.” said the head programmer of the team. He has done an intensive research on Robot development and is known as an apt consultant in the team. The game is majorly dependent on how you build your robot and its essential features, nature of devices and of course the technical skills applied while developing it.

If you have a technical clarity of the subject then in no time you shall meet excellence in it. True said The NALAYAKS have expanded their comfort zones and build a rare challenge for rest of the teams.  In one of the rounds they place their robot in at upside-down position which can fetch extra points to them. They find it a pioneering strategy for the team which proves the hard-hitting feature of the Robot. “We have worked upon different attachments and structure making of the Robot and have taken care of its delicacy by drawing a lot of information and learning from different websites.” said by Pankhuri, the project head of the team.

“We celebrate diversities through these kind of competitions, it is a perfect platform for children to grow and nurture as natural leaders.” said by the Principal and mentor of the team, Miss Kavita.

The NALAYAKS & The LEGO League Championship

The LEGO League is an interesting solution building competition which will inspire generations to find sustainable development in a right way. Each team has to build a constructive solution to various environmental challenges. There are rules which have to be followed strictly by the teams. Each team will be given 3 attempts to demonstrate their best and attempt with maximum points will be taken as the final score of the respective teams. Time is going to be a major struggle for the teams. Since as many as 100 teams are going to perform so the time is limited. 

Team The NALAYAKS 

One female and two male members of the team are subjected to handle different positions in the team. The Captain and Mechanical Designer of the team is Mr. Jatin, 11th grade student who is a master in analysing different challenges with his unique capabilities. Here comes Ms. Pankhuri, a vibrant girl who is the Project Head of the team and holds great potential and knowledge of the whole project. The last and the youngest Programmer of the team is Mr. Kunal, who is a keen observer and a dynamic boy and an expert in quick solutions. 

The Strategy – Go Bold

The team is dedicated towards finding a suitable solution in order to tackle different environmental challenges. They are working tough in order to get their robots and their mechanism right. They are aiming to score near about 400 points and are equally excited to visit United Kingdom for the first time. Beating the national and the regional teams in the past, they are now ready to thrash their major competitors in the finale. They say, “It is going to be a life changing competition leading us towards many opportunities in the forthcoming future.”
