In honor of the literary genius William Shakespeare, Hanumant High School celebrated Shakespeare Week from 9th to 23rd April 2025 to commemorate both his birth and death anniversaries. The event aimed to cultivate a love for literature among students while acknowledging the timeless legacy of the Bard of Avon.

Throughout the week, students from grades 1 to 12 enthusiastically participated in a wide range of creative and literary activities designed to highlight Shakespeare’s profound influence on English literature. Students crafted beautifully designed bookmarks, Themed Calendars, Mobile Back Cover designs, and Diaries featuring famous Shakespearean quotes. The artistic expression and literary relevance of each design reflected students’ creativity and understanding.          

Dramatic performances based on scenes from Shakespeare’s plays were enacted with great enthusiasm. Students dressed as iconic characters such as from the Tempest and Juliet brought to life the drama, tragedy, and comedy of the Elizabethan stage.

The entire celebration provided students a platform to explore the richness of Shakespeare’s literary contributions and develop a deeper appreciation for classic literature. Teachers facilitated and guided the activities, ensuring active engagement and meaningful learning throughout the week.

The Shakespeare Week celebration was a resounding success, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration among students. It served not only as a tribute to one of the greatest playwrights in history but also as an enriching educational experience. The management appreciated the efforts of the students and staff for making the event memorable.

The activity, titled “Basketball Meets the Bard,” was a unique session where students participated in a basketball game infused with Shakespearean drama and dialogue delivery. The students were divided into teams, each named after characters from Shakespeare’s plays such as Team Macbeth, Team Hamlet, Team Juliet, and Team Othello.

The rules of the game were modified to include a literary twist:

After each basket scored, a team member had to recite a famous Shakespearean line or quote.

Halftime included a "Shakespeare Slam", where each team performed a short 1-minute dramatic skit based on a scene from a Shakespeare play.

Points were awarded not only for scoring but also for clarity, creativity, and expression in delivering Shakespearean dialogue.

In this mathematics activity, we explored addition by using dominoes to create and add two-digit numbers. Each domino has two sets of dots, which we used to form numbers by placing one value in the tens place and the other in the ones place. For instance, a domino with 4 and 6 dots was used to create the number 46, while another with

2 and 5 dots formed the number 25. These numbers were then added together to find the total: 46 + 25 = 71.

Several combinations were tried using different dominoes. This exercise helped reinforce our understanding of

place value and addition of two-digit numbers in an engaging and interactive way, making the learning process

both effective and enjoyable.
