"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination." - Albert Einstein Drawing is a curious process, so intertwined with the process of seeing that the two can hardly be separated. Ability to draw depends on ability to see the way an artist sees, and this kind of seeing can marvelously enrich the life of a child. RBK Global School teaches the art of drawing to help the students to discover these abilities. When children get a chance to express their creativity and dive into art, they develop confidence, increase their empathy and discover how to look at the world from different perspectives. All those skills help prepare students to take on the world with passion and creativity.

The state expects all citizens to keep the honour of its flag. The national flag of India reflects in every way the hopes and inspirations enshrined in our constitution.
The National Flag of India epitomizes its civilization and culture, heritage and freedom. The Indian national flag is a tricolor. It consists of three bears Saffron at the top, white in the middle dark and green at the bottom. Saffron is the symbol sacrifice and selfishness.

Patriotic songs are songs that demonstrate love for one’s country, or have themes that glorify self-sacrifice, land’s beauty, history or ideals.

A book fair is like a feast of books. To eye books of so many varieties and that too in a large number at a time is really a wonderful experience. RBK Global School organized three days ‘Book Fair’ from 27th to 29th July, 2017. RBK Global School believes in providing its students with holistic and informative literature to enrich their vocabulary and diction. Scholastic Book Fairs serve to promote the habit of reading in school-going children. By offering children a wide selection of books and related material through the school system, they wish to give them an opportunity to read by choice and not by compulsion. It was an amazing opportunity for teachers and parents to come together and browse through books with the children. The kids had fun sharing the books they had read. The children enjoyed the fair and picked books varying from science to spooky stories; from puzzles to poems; and from fiction to facts. The teachers equally helped the children in selecting the books. The children wished the fair to last for a longer time as it would give them an opportunity to read and access more informative literature besides their efficiently loaded school library. The attractive "wish list brochures" were filled up and taken home by students during the fair. Books are our best friends. And book fairs play a great role in encouraging the reading habit among people of all age groups. “If a child cannot learn in the way we teach;
we must teach in a way the child can learn.” Field trips add fun to the entire experience of learning and enriching ourselves. RBK Global School firmly believes in innovating ourselves in teaching methodologies. The topic of Neighbourhood can best be understood only if the learners explore the same. With this objective, the Primary section organized a field trip to Neigbouring places campus on 23rd, 24th and 25th of July 2017 for Grade 1, 2 and 3 along with their respective teachers. The exciting trip started with the cheer of the enthusiastic kids. Students observed the different kinds of houses on campus, something they are familiar with. Many of them were taking notes of what they saw. They visited the temple and the church. They also saw the police station, school and the hospital and understood the contribution of our helpers in the neighbourhood. They were asked to differentiate clean and dirty roads and causes of dirty roads. Children saw traffic on the road and teacher explained the necessity of using public transport. Children saw different vehicles like trains, BEST buses, cars, taxis, trucks and were able to identify them. They saw big bridges and flyovers, huge skyscrapers and buildings under construction. Children got a chance to share their knowledge with their friends. When they were back in school they were asked to draw all that they saw on the field trip and write their reflection. It was indeed fascinating. Although it was a rainy, it did not dampen the spirits of our enthusiastic learners and ended on a happy note. The learners, we‘re sure had enough information to share with their parents. Education is that which liberates, liberates from fear, liberates from poverty, liberates from conflicts, liberates from ignorance and brings about a change in the capacities and talents latent in learners. To achieve this we need to change the age old teacher centred strategies to learner centred technology.
With this as our objective we at RBK Global entered a new venture, shifting from traditional delivery methods and set path on digital teaching and learning through digitally translated content by either teacher or available e-published content. Thus, empowering learners to grasp concepts more quickly, to connect theory and application more adeptly, and to engage in learning more readily. For facilitators it simplifies and saves time with classroom, Gmail, Docs and more to create paperless assignments and stay organized. Thus moving ahead as a Google School. The silence in the RBK Global School campus finally came to an end with the chirping of happy students as the school gates opened after the holidays. The students were back in school after a long summer break. They were thrilled, excited and raring to go! The assembly was teeming with a wave of enthusiasm.
