On August 27, the students of grade eight and ten attended the Parents Talk Program where the parent of Drabisha Pokhrel, Mr. Drona Pokhrel, taught all of us about insurance. He gave us information about what insurance is and its importance. He also gave us information about its types. He described the phases of insurance very vividly.

We got to know that insurance gradually started in different countries through bets and exchange of goods that is trade. However, insurance started in Nepal 72 years ago. The first insurance in Nepal is the Nepal Insurance. We also got to know that the people in foreign countries have insurance for their nails too.  It is a rare case in the context of Nepal.

Overall it was a great experience and we got to know a lot about insurance.

 Big telescopes on Earth are great, but they can only see so far. Then the view is affected by Earth’s atmosphere, artificial light, and air pollution. To get really clear views at what’s out there, scientists are sending into space. The most famous space telescope is the Hubble, which was launched from the space shuttle discovered in 1990. It orbits Earth at a height at 370 miles(576 km). In July 1999, the Hubble was joined in space by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. This telescope “sees” X-ray given off by space by space objects that are billions of light years away. Photographic equipment and computers turn the X-ray into pictures for us. The Hubble has sent back amazing pictures of Mars and other planets.

On July 1, 2019; we, Grade VIII and IX, went to Police Canine Division which is located at Singha Durbar. There are 8 different types of dogs in Nepal for security.There were many dogs of different breeds like German Shepherd, Labrador, Bloodhound, etc. There are many branches in Dharan, Biratnagar, Hetauda, Pokhara, Dhading, etc.

From 2062 B.S. Police Dog Service started. The dogs give services like check on program, search drugs, search for thieves, etc. The main role of dog is VIP security. Dogs in Canine performed for us. The first performance was by a German Shepherd. Its name was Macsal. He showed us how it searched. The second performance was by a Labrador. It showed us how it finds bombs. The third performance was by a German Shepherd again. Its name was Dj. It showed us how it helped in crime investigation. The fourth performance was by a German Shepherd named Messi. It showed us how it found drugs. Likewise, the fifth performance was by a Labrador named Mario and showed us how it obeyed the commands and other basic things. And lastly, the sixth performance was by a Labrador showing how it goes through the obstacles.

After seeing all the performances, we went to look around. We saw many other dogs and horses. And then we returned to the school.

On July 1st, we, the students of Grade VIII and IX, went to the field visit to Police Canine Division. It is located at Singha Durbar. We arrived at the school premises at 9 am. We attended the circle meeting. We, the students of Grade VIII, went by van with a police officer as our guide. And the students of Grade IX went through the bus with a police officer as their guide. After half an hour we reached there. When we reached there we saw a big field and a statue of a dog. While we were proceeding we saw a small puppy. It was so cute. 

There was a place to sit in the field. We sat there. In no time, the Head Officer Ram Chandra Satyal came and explained to us about different dog breeds. We got to know that Police can keep 20 breeds of dogs but in Nepal, we only had 8 breeds. They are Labrador, German Shepherd, Dutch Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Blood Hound, and Cocker Spaniel. 

After the introduction of dogs, the dogs started to demonstrate their duty.  First of all, a dog named Marvel demonstrated us how he would catch a thief. After that, a labrador demonstrated how he find bombs. Then a German Shepherd name Messi showed us how he would find drugs.
After the demonstrations were over, we went to look around the camp. There were 38 dogs all total. We caught a nice quotation written, “When it's too hard to look back and you are too afraid to look ahead, look beside you I will be there.”

In conclusion, the trip was fun and knowledgeable.
 

On Friday, we had “Back to School Night”. After school was over we had our snacks and a meeting. In the meeting, we got our pamphlets where classes names were written. We were given training about how to stand in assembly. After 4:55 pm, parents started to come. I was in 2"Makalu". We drank tea and enjoyed a lot in the program. After the program was over, my mother bought her phone and we took photos. I enjoyed the program very much and I loved my job very much. The parents also had a gathering. They were talking to each other and the teachers. Everybody enjoyed very much. Then we said goodbye to all and went home.

Discipline is the most important thing in everyone’s life. If there was no discipline, nobody could live happily. Discipline is everything through which we do in the right way and the right time. We all have different discipline in our daily life. People who do not have discipline can get so many problems like not finishing the work on time. We have to follow it all the time in school, home, playground or other places. People who have good discipline never get sad. Without discipline, nobody can be successful in their daily life and also in the future. Undisciplined people always get a low evaluation from others. So, every person should follow discipline every day. 

On 24th June, Monday, the students of Grade VIII and IX were taken to canine division for the practical observation. We left the school at 9:40. It was a great pleasure to be there. DSP Ramchandra Satyal was there to guide us.

Dog, a dutiful, obedient guard is forever a human’s best company. We got to see eight different breeds of dogs there. There were- German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Labrador, Beagle, Cocker Spaniel, Dutch Shepherd, Blood Hound and Double Coated Shepherd. They said that the Police Dog Service started since 2026 B.S. The dogs with their specific abilities are trained in specific fields.

Those dogs of the Canine Division are believed to be a member of government and a responsible officer. The dogs are used for Public Services, Control and Investigation, Duty Deploy, etc. The dogs are not threatened and taken very good care of by the officers.“When it's too hard to look back and you are too afraid to look ahead, look beside you I will be there.” A heart touching line that was written there. 

Overall, it was fun to visit Canine Division. Being one of the dog lovers, I loved to be there. Dogs make me happy.

Diversity is briefly known as a variety of people living in a place. Diversity is all about gender, economic status, religion, culture, etc. Nepal is home to a wide variety of ethnic groups, all speaking their own language and practicing their own rituals. The social, economic, cultural, administrative and political diversities are their way of living are also associated with Nepal’s diversity. So we should respect diversity as it plays an important role in economic status, political sector, social sector, etc.

It includes many cultures, languages, religions, etc. For e.g: In a community, many people live in peace despite having different religions, castes, cultures, and languages. It is also diversity. We should respect everyone, everything in this world. We should not discriminate people and always respect others.

In conclusion, we should always respect people, birds, animals, and all living beings that are present in our life. We should follow the slogan Respect Diversity.

There are many other branches i.e. Dharan, Biratnagar, Hetauda, Pokhara, etc.  We learned many things there. Mainly, this institute helps us in crime investigation, finds the illegal import and export of drugs, bombs and other crimes. German Shepherd performed about how they found drugs and the bombs. After the performance by the German Shepherd, the Labrador showed us how they tackled the obstacles. The dog first went to the slide by running, then jumping to the tunnel and lastly to the hoop.

After seeing the performances, we all asked various questions to the police and then returned to the school.

On Friday, our school organized a big program “ Back To School Night”. This program was for the parents. Parents had to come to school, sit in class and attend classes as we do. The program started at 4:55 PM but many parents arrived earlier than the exact time so they were requested to sit for a while. We, the volunteers were holding pamphlets where names of respective classes were written. I was holding the pamphlet of Grade 7. First, the parents had assembly then I took them to their classes. Mr. Nirmal Paudel was already there to take the first class that was Nepali. Likely, the parents had English, then Science and finally Sanskrit Chanakya Niti. I was very happy to see parents learning and concentrating. After they had all the four subjects, I took them downstairs. They drank tea. They were talking to each other. The program went well.
