Sound Pollution
by Arvind 7
A sound wave is the pattern of disturbance caused by the movement of energy travelling through a medium. There are two major types of sound waves: melodious and noise. Melodious sound waves are produced mainly by music and are soothing to the ear whereas noise is a complete disturbance to the ear. Noise is basically unwanted sound. When excess noise is produced, it is called noise pollution.

In Spotlight our children interviewers interview various people at Manthan to understand what motivates them.
Showcases some of our young writers and their writing. At Manthan creative writing starts very early, while the first couple of years of Kindergarten is more to do with developing language skills of listening and speaking, from grade 1 the focus shifts to reading and writing. Children are encouraged to write at every point and they are given not just inspiration but various devices to structure and articulate their thoughts.
The poems published here are collected from regular class room assessments of the children done during the year. Its tough to do justice to all and pick the best from thousands of such works, the effort was more to present a sample of children's works rather than select the best. It still gives a glimpse into our young poets and how they use words to express their feelings, emotions and ideas.
Children are encouraged not just to read a good book but to discuss, analyse and understand it. Book review gives our children an opportunity to present their thoughts on what they see as the essence of the book.
While school is as much about studies it is also about having fun doing so.. here our children take a dig at themselves and their teachers for some fun times.
