basic planetary facts easily grasped by primary students to a more scientific understanding of
astronomical phenomena presented by the seniors.

not shine on only a few. So, just as nature is indifferent to our station or situation,
we need to know that we are all equal. We need to focus on the things that are
constant and not place our values on things that can be blown away with the next,
great, wind”. The show well brought out the different festivals celebrated all over

This assembly on Galileo held on 14
February , 2014 by students of Std. VII-B
connected well with the theme Destination- Outer Space as Galileo was a renowned
astronomer, and is known as the "father of modern observational astronomy". His
achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical
observations. Normally, we all think of Galileo as the inventor of the telescope, but it was
Hans Lippershey from the Netherlands who invented the telescope in 1608 to see far away
things on land. Galileo was a multi-faceted genius. He was a physicist, mathematician,
astronomer and philosopher. He played a major role in what we now consider modern
science. His works and achievements are among the most important in the history of
science. Galileo has been called the "Father of the Scientific Revolution".
Through the skit presentation, the students got an opportunity to explore the life
of Galileo Galilee.
Also it being Valentine‟s Day, the students were given information about Saint
Valentine and the fact that this day is celebrated to express love for all who are
close to us including our parents and grandparents. This helped in broadening the
vision of the students about this day which otherwise limits itself in its
understanding.
