AMI Beats

Third edition; February---April 2018

The academic year 2017-18 is wrapping up to unfold the next one. The last
quarter was also a roller coaster ride through academics and activities.

Projects and Research:

One of the major advantages of project work is that it makes school more
like real life. Students of grade 7 prepared projects on “Energy
Conversion”, “Acid and Alkalis” and “Circuits”. Grade 8 made posters on
“Harmful Effects of Smoking”.
The AMI Junior Section carried out a research in the Senior Section on
Energy Saving Tips. They interviewed students and teachers to analyze the
wastage of energy in different forms at different places. The name of the
project was, Carbon Print.
Students from a Japanese School carried out a research programme and
interviewed Ammar Khalid of grade 9.

Sports:
Being a master of one or a jack-of-all-trades in today’s world does not
bring about success if you are unable to work as part of a team. The
importance of teamwork cannot be stressed enough!
Teams cannot win without team spirit.
Basket Ball matches were held for girls and boys. Falcons beat the Kites
and won the senior Boys match while in team B the Kites grabbed the
first position from the Eagles. Girls were no less!!!!!!The Kites rose
above all.

favourite poems. They were awarded certificates for their effort and
teamwork. Scrabble Competition was organized by Horlicks and held at
