Online classes

06/01/2020

The need of the hour is to stay home but that definitely should not bring hindrance to the teaching learning activity. CNIS followed the norm of online teaching. Grades VIII –XII students are exposed to live online classes. The teachers give lessons live from 9 am in the morning to 1 pm in the afternoon. The students are finding this fruitful though they miss coming to school and mingling with the peer group and the teachers of the school. Grades X – XII started with their online classes from the second week of May and Grades VIII & IX started on 1 June.

Pre- Recorded Video Teaching

06/01/2020

CNIS adopted a different method for imparting learning to the students of Grades I-VII during this time of pandemic when reopening the school campus is not possible. To avoid them from being exposed to long hours of screen space the school gives learning to the students through pre- recorded classes. The teaching is recorded and being sent to the students as per a decided schedule. The video will have the tasks that students have to do at home. The students can watch them at a time convenient to them and their parents. They also have an option of repeated watching of the videos. The teachers are now reaching the students’ home through these teaching videos.

Grand Parents Day

Grandparents love will never grow old! CNItes celebrated Grandparents Day on 13 September with a spectacular video tribute. The bright, enthusiastic spirit of the grandparents and their grandchildren truly made the day a remarkable one. Our grandparents have been there for us all throughout our journey; this small token of appreciation showed how much they mean to the children. CNIte Madhav Murali from Grade 2 gave a fabulous introduction to Grandparents Day. An inspiring message on the role of grandparents in the lives of young ones was shared by Former Chief Minister Shri Oommen Chandy who is the grandparent of one of the CNItes. Eminent cardiologist Dr.Ramakrishna Pillai and his wife Dr. Susheela, again the grandparents of CNItes, emphasised the involvement of school outside of the curriculum in the lives of children. Retired IAS Shri Babu Joseph talked about the better days which was very promising to hear during this time. Former MP Dr. Anirudhan Sampath highlighted how precious grandparents are and the joy they bring in. The video was enriched throughout with clippings from CNItes and their grandparents engaged in different chores and games.
