It's the 21st century, which is the time of Science and Technology. We had Parents Talk held on Thursday, August 8, 2019. I learned how carrying money has been easier due to the help of the digital payment system rather than carrying the amount of money in the wallet or purses. Digital Payment System helps to carry money without having a fear of losing it or theft. So we can use the phone wallet and get all their benefits. The benefits of using Digital Payment System are saving the environment, reducing black money, and security of money. I would like to thank Mr. Ganesh Lamichhane for teaching us about this wonderful topic.
It was on Monday, Sifal School took the students of Grade VI and VII to Jyapu Museum at Lalitpur. On that day, we went to school, gathered with our friends and came downstairs in line and got on the bus. I sat on the last seat of the bus. When we reached the museum we saw many things related to Newari culture such as dhime baja, cultural dress, khi:baja, dha:baja, nyakhi, models of various Jatras celebrated by Newars such as Kumari Jatra, Rato Machindranath, tools they used for cooking such as Chimta, Kota, Chimaa, Dhiki. We also got to know about various festivals celebrated by Newars like Mha Puja. On the day of Gobardhan Puja , people in newar community celebrate Mha Puja. This day is also celebrated as the New Year in Newar community. Overall, the trip was very informative and fun. We got to learn a lot about Newari culture, people, festivals celebrated by them, equipment they use, and so on.
When we first entered the Jyapu Museum we saw statues of goddesses. There were three goddesses. We also saw so many models of people wearing different dresses. We also saw big statues of the family who were doing puja in the Newari style. There was also a baby model with many food items in front of it. It showed us how Newar people did Nwaran. We also saw an oval shape made up of rice. On top of the rice, there were lots of fruits and one fish. There were many varieties of seeds that were planted by farmers. We also saw the Newari clothes for a boy and a girl. There were also many folk musical instruments played by Newars. We also saw some utensils used by ancestors for storing water, cooking rice, etc. There was also a box where old period clothes were placed. Almost everything around the museum showed Newari culture and tradition.
On August 8, 2019, Mr. Ganesh Lamichhane, the parent of Shuvee Lamichhane spoke about Digital Payment System in Nepal. He spoke very well. I was impressed. He talked about the benefits that we can get from digital payment. He changed my thoughts. I was thinking that buying things or goods from the market would save money but I was wrong. Payment of goods from mobile pocket we can even save more money. I will tell my parents about the mobile pocket and its benefits. E-Sewa, Khalti, etc., are the mobile payment apps that I know. This lecture was very interesting to me and my friends too. I would like to thank Mr. Ganesh Lamichhane for spending his precious time with all of us.
My school took the students of Grade VI and VII to the Jyapu Museum. It is located in Lalitpur. We, the students of Grade VI, went there by van and the students of Grade VII went there by bus. On our way, we were stuck in traffic for about half an hour. After we reached the museum, we were divided into groups. We lined up to go inside the museum. We also had a guide to explain to us about the museum. After we entered, we saw many things that showed Newari culture. There were many statues there. There were all kinds of traditional instruments, clothes, and models of Newari people showing their culture. There were also models of Kumari. We had some question paper with us which we had to fill. Our guides described to us everything there so it was easy for us to know about the museum and fill the paper. The trip was very enjoyable.
Last Monday we went to the Jyapu Museum in Lalitpur. We were really very excited to go there. We went there in our first period. We were stuck in traffic for about an hour. We had our lunch on the bus. After we reached there, we saw Newari culture ornaments, musical instruments, etc. There were 2 guides who helped us explore the museum. They told us about Newari culture, and their traditions and rituals they followed during marriage ceremonies, Bratabandha, etc. We also saw the models of Newari people working. We also saw stick figures of Jatra and many more. Overall, I enjoyed the field trip a lot.
Our school van came to receive us at 9:55 AM and our trip began. It took us 1 hour to reach Jyapu Academy due to traffic jams. We went inside. The objective of the field visit was to learn about the things used in the past. We saw Bag Dwaa, Khaisan Lhoo, a statue of Buddha, traditional clothes, different types of utensils, plowing materials, different types of jewelry, varieties of musical instruments like Sankha, Damaru, Taha, etc. The instruments were used by Newars. There were also models of people portraying Jatra. Finally, we took a group photo and returned to school.
On Monday, I went on a field trip from school. We went to Jyapu Museum. It is located in Lalitpur. Students of grade six and seven were taken to visit that museum.
I was excited for the trip from the morning. I and my friends were so excited and happy. We carried our lunch, water, etc. to eat. And our Class Teacher Nirmal Sir also went with us. He told us to carry our bags with our diary and a pen. He told us to carry a diary and a pen to write about that place, to write what we understand after watching and listening, what the advisor says about the stuff. There were two advisors who told us about the museum, about the things, about the dresses, ornaments, shoes made by jute, etc. There were many things about which we can learn from those things. Our advisor described the weapons, how to use them when to use them. She explained the rituals how to follow the rituals, how they are performed, when it is performed, where it is performed and others. There was all about ancient rituals, traditions, and festivals. We all were listening very carefully. To hear about our ancient things was very exciting and interesting. There was an article written about Rato Machhindranath Jatra with structure. There was a model of a farmer, Newari ladies, Newari boy, and also there was structure of Mha: Puja. And the most beautiful structure was of Mha: Pujas. Our advisor also belongs to the Newari culture/community. She explained to us very nicely and kindly. I liked her way of explanation.
From the field trip, I learned that we should respect our ancient culture, traditions, rituals. I learned about the dresses and ornaments, where to wear, when to wear, how to wear, etc. I am so happy to know about Newari cultures, rituals, festivals, etc. That day was very beautiful. I want to say to my Newari friends that they are so lucky to belong to the Newari community.
Hello! My name is Sanskriti Thakuri. I am from Grade VI. The school organized a field visit for Grade VI and VII to Jyapu Museum. After arriving at school, we got on the bus in between 9-10. We reached the museum at 10:30. All of us got out of the bus and entered the museum. I and Rushina were the partners. When we entered inside, we got to know that it was a Newari themed museum. We saw wood carvings, Newari dress, traditional ornaments, musical instruments, models of Kumari, Rato Machindranath, and many more.
The visit was very fruitful for us. We got to explore the Newari culture. I would like to thank DSS teachers who were there with us throughout the trip.
On 25 June, we, the students of grade 7 and six, went to Jyapu Museum located at Chyasal. “To find the lifestyle of our ancestors” was the main objective when we went there. I was astonished to see the beauty of that place. When we were going there, we got stuck in a traffic jam but even then we reached there in another way (shortcut). Actually there was a big house but the museum was actually located underground.
Going there, I found out that there were different names for the ornaments, clothes, utensils, etc. there were different types of soil like Kanchaa, Gichaa, etc. Some soils were used for medicinal purposes, some were used as a soap, etc. I found out that there were many types of weapons in the past. While I was there I found that Nepal was full of pride, “I am proud to be a Nepalese” because after seeing those things, I can proudly say that our country is multilingual and multiethnic, etc, a country filled with harmony.
The guides there were very humble and without anger, they gave answers on whatever we asked. There were many farmer bridges of Bagmati.
Thus, I recommend this place to everyone who wants to visit museums because this museum reflects Nepal as the country with hundreds of languages and cultures.
A wedding reception is an example. In wedding receptions, we can communicate with each other. We can share our feelings with people and they can also share their feelings with us. We can talk to our friends, relatives, etc. At the wedding reception, we are provided with drinks, cold drinks, and various kinds of food. There can be many groups of people who attend wedding receptions. In wedding receptions, the party palace will be decorated with different types of flowers where roses are mostly used. In wedding receptions, there are many waiters serving food, drinks, etc. Before the wedding reception, a traditional wedding takes place.
We beings are social animals. We cannot live without company, neighbours and community. We can get lots of help from the people of our community. Somedays if there is an incident in our house such as robbery, murder, kidnapping etc. Our neighbours can help us by calling the police or an ambulance. There are two types of community. One is good and one is bad. If the community is good their children will learn to be a good and a socialized person. If the community is bad their children will learn to smoke, drink, fight, etc. Being social is very good.
