Mama Hope Magic DayStd - III & IVMrs. Mural Rebello“Education is the key that unlocks the golden door of freedom.”— George Washington CarverThe Primary Section of Don Bosco School, Matunga, celebrated Mama Hope Magic Day on 3rd December with great joy and enthusiasm. The students of Grades III and IV embarked on a day filled with exploration and discovery, a day that showcased how learning becomes truly meaningful when children step outside conventional classrooms and begin to learn through real experiences. To bring this vision to life, the event was thoughtfully planned by Ms. Tejashree Tatkare and Ms. Shahnaaz Abbas, under the constant guidance of the Head Teacher. The highlight of this special celebration was that the children were guided out of their regular classroom environment and taken through a unique learning trail designed to give them a Gurukul-style experience.Just as in ancient times when students learned under the open sky, surrounded by nature and guided by their gurus, the boys were led to various activity hubs set up across the school grounds. Here, learning flowed freely interactive, joyful, and rooted in hands-on experience. Teachers arrived according to the subject planned, transforming every stop into a mini-Gurukul where a new concept was introduced, explored, and experienced. In earlier days, education relied heavily on textbooks and passive listening. But today, it has beautifully evolved. The old saying, “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn,” came alive as the children engaged in experiments, nature-based activities, scientific explorations, creative challenges, and simple yet powerful demonstrations.The boys of classes III and IV walked from the classroom to the school turf with sparkling eyes and curious minds. Each experience was crafted to be age-appropriate, enjoyable, and thought-provoking. Whether they were observing natural elements, exploring scientific ideas, solving puzzles, or participating in skill-based tasks, every child was completely involved, learning with enthusiasm and joy. Master Stevin Fernando of Class IV A summed up the day beautifully. “It’s a completely different experience to learn without books!” His words reflected the essence of Mama Hope Magic Day learning that inspires, excites, and stays in the heart. Teacher Mohini shared her delight as well, “For us teachers too, it was refreshing and rewarding to see the boys learn joyfully through activities. Their excitement made the entire celebration truly magical.” The spirit of another timeless proverb could be felt throughout the event. “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” And indeed, during this memorable day, the flames of curiosity, creativity, and confidence were kindled in every young learner. The celebration concluded with happy hearts, enriched minds, and wonderful memories. Mama Hope Magic Day was not just an event, it was an experience.A reminder that real learning happens when children are encouraged to explore the world around them, guided by caring teachers, and inspired by the joy of discovery. A true celebration of learning, laughter, and limitless possibilitie
