What is Hyflex class @ The Future Foundation School?
Its an opportunity provided by the school and Sri Chaitanya
Academy to explore mathematics and science subjects in depth and boosts student ability to answer difficult questions. The time taken-performance
analysis regarding answering questions helps students to see our relative position and reveals the areas where to put more effort. These
additional classes are complementing our regular school classes, thus reinforcing
learning of the curriculum.
Additionally, the Infinity Learn App consists of incorporating links to view
reference libraries making it more helpful for the students.
The Hyflex class is a powerful initiative of the school to make students ready for better preparation for competitive exams.

.

Commerce and Hospitality Management is part of the academic curriculum and students can opt for it keeping in mind a possible future career direction.
Our students - Classes 11 & 12 have opted for the above at the Sugar and Spice factory!

TFFS Students of Classes 11 and 12 attended a rare session of a film screening prepared by Jane Richter, a UK-based retired English language teacher. She is passionate both about India and the Victorian pioneer photographer, Calcutta-born Julia Margaret Cameron, who aged 48 started serious portrait photography. This film - originally conceived as an illustrated talk - is the result of a 2-year lockdown project. The film touches on many themes –art, architecture, some historical – some contemporary – in essence, a passionate account of what Jane– an English traveler's mission to explore the wonderful city and to shed some light on missing details in the life of a forgotten ‘daughter of Calcutta’ who now ranks among the world’s greatest photographers. The students and the faculties were overwhelmingly happy and awestruck with this creative feature.

The trip to Pondicherry is one of the most important excursions in the annual school calendar of activities. The very purpose of this excursion to Pondicherry is to offer the children of Class 9 a first-hand insight into the ethos of the school. Taken in the right spirit, it introduces them to important lessons in community life and the various tenets of holistic education. It helps to bring them into deeper contact with who they really are. For many, the memory lingers for a lifetime and can help them in making vital choices in life.

On September 22, 2022, the art students of classes XI and XII ventured out on a visit to a Block Printing workshop in Panchasayar, Kolkata, hosted by artist Mrs. Paramita Bhattacharya. Mrs.Bhattacharya briefed us on the history of block printing and natural dyes not only in India but also across the world. Although, our ancestors relied on turmeric, beetroot, indigo, flowers, minerals, pearl oysters and vegetable dyes amongst other natural sources for their cloth but children used chemical dyes for their project — a test print on brown paper which they could use for wrapping gifts, and a finalized print on tote bags which were provided. Students started out by making paints, with Raju sir pouring out the strong-smelling chemicals in the oil binder including kerosene oil, urea, and LPC, allowing the students to mix their own paints in colours they chose, after a short demonstration on his part. It was as though the students were working in a professional studio. Despite the sweltering heat, the blazing sun and the smell of the dyes, the students decided on the designs and chose their blocks to print and worked tirelessly, with the gentle guidance and patience of the instructors even when their untrained hands accidentally smudged too much dye or mishandled a block. The entire process was long, lasting almost a little over five hours to dye all the tote bags and gift-wrappers, but the end results were vibrant and stunning, handmade and customized items they can use for themselves or gift them to loved ones, and an experience worth remembering for the rest of their lives.

On 22.9.22, the students of classes 8 and 9 attended a very interesting, informative and life changing interactive session with the popular artist actor and social activist Mr. Bobby Chakraborty. It was an awareness programme against addiction and harmful popular trends. The initiative was taken by the Interact Club of the school to try and inculcate some basic important life values and habits to children at this very early and basic growing stage of their life.

The career awareness session on "Liberal Arts",presented by Ashoka University on September 22, 2022 was attended by students of Class XII. The importance of AI in curating new professions, the rapid evolution of careers, and other topics were thoroughly explained to them. After the session, students were left with some food for thought regarding liberal education and its significance going forward.

Sangbit Ghosh, Sneahadra Das Gupta and Soumyabrata Adhikari of Class VI of The Future Foundation School participated in the CISCE Regional Chess Tournament U-14 Boys category on September 16 and September 17, 2022 held at Agrasain Boys' School, Liluah where they were declared as the Champions.

For the students of The Future Foundation School

Students' event and awards received....

Club activities are an important part of the growth and learning process. Ideas and Impressions Club members of The Future Foundation School with much eagerness performed a short cultural activity on September 01, 2022 . Twenty one club members went to Aumorto (the Senior Living initiative of Sri Aurobindo Institute of Culture), to help in bringing joy to the grannies and grandpas staying there.
Ragivv Sir and all the staff members of Aumorto welcomed the children with fresh tender coconut water. Excellent performances by the Class VI club members were highly appreciated by the senior citizens. Lastly hand drawn cards and packet of healthy snacks were given to the senior citizens by Debadrita Sengupta and Sonakshi Guha.

Geography is a subject that inculcates crucial values that go beyond the curriculum and classrooms. It teaches us how to take care of our beautiful planet and its resources. Among these resources, water is one which needs urgent conservation. While discussing the chapter 'Water Resources' in Class 10, the teacher, while emphasising on the participation of every individual in water conservation, had asked students to adopt some water saving or recycling strategies at home and share their experiences.

Shubhangana Nath of Class 10 B had this to share:

The system adopted at my home is simple but effective. Each time the purifiers are re-filled with purified water, chlorinated water comes out from the outlet. The purifier can fill up about 5-6 bottles( each of 1 litre) after each refill, while the chlorinated water fills up a whole big bucket, which is about 10 litres. As almost twice the water produced gets wasted we decided to save it up for cleaning the house. The technique is very easy, we just need to make two holes on either side of the bucket, at the top. One for inserting the outlet pipe, and the other for excess water to flow so that there is no backflow of water through the outlet pipe.

In the breathless and breakneck hurry to acquire skills, humankind today is often forgetting the importance of imbibing values in life. Therefore, the main aim of the Ideals and Progress classes at The Future Foundation School is to take students a little closer to certain core human values, values that contribute to the integral development of the being.

With this goal in mind, the students of class 9 section C were shown some inspiring videos in three consecutive weekly periods. The videos included some award winning short films and advertisements. The objective was to make the students watch, introspect and analyse. These videos, carefully chosen by the teacher, touched upon such crucial values as discipline, patriotism, honesty, grit in the face of adversities, the joy of sharing, honesty, accepting differences etc.

The students found the experience enjoyable, enriching and at times, emotionally stirring. They were asked to put their thoughts on paper and write brief reviews of the films they liked the most.

On the 23rd of August, a Masterclass was conducted by the Dean of the School of Law at BML, Munjal University, Sir Pritam Baruah, for the Legal Studies Students of classes 11 and 12.
Our esteemed guest began by talking in depth about tort law, and the purpose of punishment or penalties in the system of law. He also spoke of the differences between civil and criminal wrongs. The students were also able to learn a lot more about law in general, as well as evidence.
The professor also explained as to what sort of evidence was admissible in court, and why certain pieces of evidence were not admissible in a trial. He also helped the students by engaging them in an in-depth analysis of several case studies.
It was an interactive session which ended with the professor interacting with the students, and giving them valuable advice regarding careers in law, and universities that they could apply to, after finishing their schooling.
We were extremely honoured to have Sir Pritam Baruah conduct a lecture for us students. We would also like to thank our Legal Studies teacher, Manisha Ma’am, for organizing such an event.

Ranjabati Chattopadyay of Class XI participated in a Bengali Creative Writing event at 'Morpheus Fest' on August 24, 2022, organized by South City International School where she secured the First Position!

On 20.8.22, the Interact club members of Class 6 visited Aumorto ( the Senior Living initiative of Sri Aurobindo Institute of Culture) for their "Own a granny" project.

It was the beginning of a long relationship the children would build with them. The inmates of Aumorto also sang and danced with us.
The children also helped the on site doctor Dr. Chakraborty with some health care work. The homeopathy dispensary aims to provide medical help to nearby villagers.
