Online Teaching and Learning

6th

April,2020 till date

Challenges are opportunities in disguise, they seem to be against us but in fact they are on our

side. Challenges are opportunities that life gives us so we can become the best version of

ourselves

These inspiring lines stands true for the Vidya Valley School, Mohali family. When the schools

across the city were suddenly closed the teachers of the school took up the challenge of

implementing online learning and ensured that the teaching learning process progressed as

planned. The new academic session began on April 6, 2020 our first day of remote learning, after

which we never looked back. From sending learning modules through WhatsApp , to Zoom live

classes we have been upgrading ourselves as per the needs of our students. Our live classes are

not just restricted to academics, but we are making it certain that our Vidyavallians learn all the

necessary nuances of the co-curricular activities too.

Online Labour Day Celebration

DATE-1st May,2020

To celebrate the painstaking effort of the labour force, that work tirelessly, the International

Worker‟s Day also called as Labour Day, was celebrated in online classes conducted by Vidya

Valley School, Mohali with great zeal. Labour Day is a reminder for us that these are the real

architects of our society, and they deserve their due respect. We have always believed that it is

small acts of kindness that count and we at VVS Mohali attempt to inculcate that same virtue in

our children.

Students celebrated the Labour Day by doing a fun filled activity wherein they used their

handprints on paper to convey their thankfulness(by giving high five) towards the hard-working

architects of our society. They made posters and wrote slogans in their honour.

The event was designed to forge a better understanding of the labour community among our

students who must learn to respect and appreciate their efforts.

The entire VVS Family appreciates the hard toil of the workers put in by them throughout the

year.

Mother’s Day Celebration

DATE-10th

The day that celebrates the essence of a mother is Mother's Day. One of those occasions that none

religions, castes, cultures, genders and financial status have emotions binding them to their

mothers. There could not be a more universal celebration than this one. Keeping this bonding

emotion in mind, we at VVS had a special celebration on Mother‟s Day. As we know Mother's

Day comes once a year. All the mothers were requested to share one photograph with child" along

with any prop: ( card, drawing, flower etc. containing wording “Happy Mother's Day. l love you

Mom “made by their child)

Students had a splendid time making and painting a card .The outcome of their efforts was

marvellous. Each card and photograph was special and different in its own way. What more could

have made “Mother‟s Day” more special than this?
