“The nice thing about doing a crossword puzzle is, you know there is a solution.”
To survive in a new, globally competitive
world, today's children need creativity,
problem-solving abilities, a passion for learning, a dedicated work ethic and
lifelong learning opportunities. Active learning is a process in which the
students are engaged in hands-on activities rather than passively receiving
knowledge. Putting icing on the cake, the school has
dedicated itself to let out the intriguing instincts of its students to the
world of crypts and mysteries. To help the students decipher the secrets, the
school is starting A-CLUE-A-DAY
programme for the Cryptic Crosswords wizards. One clue will be posted online each day on the website www.mapsashokvihar.net and the answers
will be displayed on the Bulletin Board near Ms. Kavita’s room.(Sr. coordinator)
A-CLUE-A-DAY programme is designed to teach students the way to solve
cryptic crosswords and hone their skills by daily practice. The objective
behind the event is to tap hidden crossword talent among young students and
popularise the mind game which helps in developing lateral thinking, ability to
draw inference and an enhanced vocabulary among other benefits.
*Kindly note that the clue will be deleted after
a week span. Be particular about checking and solving the new clue on regular
basis.For any query or doubt, feel free to contact Ms.Neha Grover
