The spirit of India’s rich traditions came alive in the classrooms as our talented Class 8 students transformed learning into a colorful celebration of the Beating Retreat Ceremony — through mind maps bursting with ideas and creative collages filled with emotion, history, and pride.
This wasn’t just an art activity.
It was a journey into our nation’s heritage — led by imagination, teamwork, and thoughtful expression.
Learning Through Mind Maps – Where Ideas Took Shape
The activity began with students exploring the meaning and significance of the Beating Retreat Ceremony.
Soon, their understanding flowed onto paper in the form of beautifully structured mind maps — featuring:
History of the ceremony
Role of the armed forces
National pride and tradition
Music, marching, and symbolism
Each branch of the mind map reflected curiosity and clarity, helping students connect facts with feelings. Learning suddenly became visual, fun, and memorable!
