NAFL

HELLO PARENTS!Our First Term has just concluded, and we begin in right earnest with our next session.

What have we learned this new school year from a digital way of life that has dictated pace and

routine?! We believe that as a team, we have held together and ensured learning never stopped! We

have adopted new ways of working, entertaining and lifting morale and it worked! Necessity has indeed

been the architect of new invention!

Let us hold the faith that we will overcome this global health crisis. What we continue to do and how

well we do it, will define us this academic year. Let us achieve the goals together.

Best wishes from Team NAFL!

Indira Jayakrishnan

Principal

TEACHER SPEAK

Virtual teaching has been a journey from ppt to pen tab😊. As we familiarisedourselves with the techniques of sharing virtual whiteboards, students learned to raise their hands virtually.

Virtual teaching and learning have kept the bond between the teachers and students intact. It has helped education evolve into a new dimension

It's challenging and a great experience which taught me the need for adaptation to new normal and the need for self reflection on effectiveness of our teaching strategies

Apprehensive about the effectiveness of the virtual classes initially, but I got accustomed to it quite fast. Though I've adapted to the new form of schooling, I miss the smiling faces and the physical classes.

Initially the whole process was daunting

and challenging but now I am exploring

myself in the new era of teaching and learning.

Covid19 Alert!

Social distancing

Keep 6 feet apart.

STUDENT SPEAKI reckon that online schooling is an experience that's been

more blessing than curse, owing to the flexibility

introduced and therefore, I embrace the change

Online school has been a roller coaster ride of very new experiences, especially since I've just newly joined NAFL. But what is amazing is the

way the teachers adapted and worked around the problem

so effortlessly.

Virtual learning has been a mixed bag of surprises in

the past few months. Despite having all your

resources a click away, it has been an isolated,

oftentimes lonesome process. It short, I do miss

school a lot!

It’s not like online learning is new to our generation, we’ve been using social

media as an effective learning platform for years,

but I just don’t like being miles away from my friends

and my teachers.

I can't watch TV for more than 45 minutes at a time, how can I take classes?!" was my mindset coming into this academic year,

but keeping in touch with friends and enjoying my

time at home has kept me going so far!

Being scolded at for arriving late to class or munching

snacks during class, cracking random jokes, having fun with teachers n friends,

sitting together for lunch and stealing each other’s

food etc etc. is being majorly missed!
