Udgam students really know how to utilize even the things that we discard without a second thought. They have the ability of turning even the most ordinary wastes into things of value. The skills and creativity of the students were brought to the fore when they were asked to create articles out of waste. In an array of interesting, decorative and amazing articles they displayed their talent at handiwork. They made articles from used bottles, CDs, straws, plastic spoons, wood shavings and a variety of other objects. The items on display ranged from showpieces, wall hangings, lamp shades, sandals, newspaper stand to working models and all these smart items had one thing in common –they were made from materials which otherwise would have been thrown away. 
Who says our students do not know the value of things? They can even make the best out of waste.

Out of the school level 11 models were selected for the Zonal round to be held in the month of January,2014.

The older concept of “Girls are Weak” has changed now, they have become powerful, confident and independent. Self defence has become a necessity for girls today.

To acquaint girls with self protection techniques against sudden and strange attacks a “Self Defence Training” session was held  for girls in the school initiated by PoliceHEART.

The girls learned different types of Self Defence Techniques in order to protect themselves from unforeseen attacks.

The session left the girls equipped completely and made them mentally strong to fight for their self esteem.

Middle School observed No-Plastic Day.

Teachers conducted a session to  bring awareness amongst students against the ill-effects of excessive use of plastic. Children prepared posters and slogans related to the topic. For a day, the children abstained from the use of plastic items.

They replaced the plastic  items used by them on daily basis like Tiffin boxes, water bottles, hair pins, stationery etc, and used items made from other materials.

Book Fair was held at our school premises. It was attended by children of all ages and their parents. 
Books of all varieties were on display, ranging from colouring books to senior fiction. 
People started coming in early in the morning and continued throughout the day.
It is good to note that the interest in reading is so pronounced in our students.
The Book Fair marked an end to the Reading Week.

Students of Class 6 learnt the application of measurement in day to day life. They were given articles to measure and then led on to measure bigger dimensions in the class and school building. Initially they were asked to estimate the approximate measurement values of certain dimensions and then support their guesses by measuring for accuracy. This project which integrates Maths with Science will give them a precise idea of bigger measurements around us.

Mrs. Kosha Shah, Teacher of Pre-primary section was a part of singing superstar Usha Uthup's LUTF (Let Us Together Fight) concert, a charity event for Cancer Patients. 

Kosha rendered the song 'Pankhida tu udi ja je Pavagadh Re….' along with Usha Uthup in the concert which she had taught to Usha Uthup a few years back.

Udgam School is proud of Mrs. Kosha for sharing the stage with Usha Uthup. The honourable cause adds to our pride.

A very healthy vision greeted the eyes today. Children of Class 1 brought salads and fruits for lunch. They brought all kinds of colourful fruits and salad items and even shared with their classmates. Udgam School promotes only healthy food and discourages all kind of junk. We are trying to instil a taste for the ‘healthy’ right from  early years. Our effort is aimed at catching them young in our ‘healthy eating’ pursuit and this is in support with the parents who ensure to give what is best to their kids.
