“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” ― Benjamin Franklin
This saying has been proven by the Students of MRIS-Noida, who exhibited their knowledge, skills and talents through their very first CREST Assembly in the new academic session. All the Students of Grade I to Grade V were excited to share their knowledge, through dance, drama, music, role play and gallery walk.
The little scholars of Grade I learnt about the life and need of people of prehistoric Europe.They did activities of cave making, fire making, clay pots and monuments, dice making, mirror making and huts with thatched roof, which gave them an insight of the challenges faced by prehistoric European people. The little champions took their audience to Stone Age. The parents were mesmerised with the wonderful instrumental music played by them.
Students of Grade II imbibed values while travelling through the life of Gautam Buddha and Jataka Tales. They learnt about his life from having a pleasant childhood to being a skilful archer till he attained enlightenment under the banyan tree in Bodh Gaya. Students enjoyed various story sessions and inculcated values like living in harmony, compassion, unity etc. They did many activities in this module such as colouring the Buddha template, drawing and colouring an elephant, making quail birds out of the paper plate and making a portrait of their best friend. The song which they sang in the assembly was a promise to absorb these values in their life.

They role played and did various activities like making model of cities, drawing of Goddess Yamuna, painting pots, making a pulley, making clay amulets, female figurines and labyrinth.
