family turns a house into a home, a peaceful place and to make the students
understand the need for a home and gain the knowledge of different geographical
diversities of the nation as well as Bangladesh, Japan , South Africa and
America, an activity named ‘ Houses – A beautiful investment, a colourful
place to live and play’ was organized for the students at Gwalior Glory High
School. Students of Class V participated in different activities. They collected
information regarding building material used in making house in various regions
according to the climatic condition and disaster resistant houses besides
understanding the basics of Art and Architecture involved in designing a house.
Students understood the practical aspects of building house as they visited
