​Dear Parents,
Greetings! 
 
At Suncity, we believe education is the foundation of your child’s growth and a brighter future. Learning here goes beyond textbooks, focusing on joyful experiences, creativity, and overall development.
Over the past month, your children participated in various engaging activities that helped build essential skills while making learning fun. Our dedicated teachers ensure every child feels happy, supported, and motivated throughout their journey.
As we step into a new year filled with promise, we look forward to continuing our commitment to excellence and joyful learning.
Thank you for trusting us with your child’s learning journey.

Theme: Winter Season/Christmas
​

The theme for the month was Winter. Children learnt about winter clothes and discussed the different types of clothing worn during the season, such as sweaters, jackets, coats, caps, scarves, gloves, and socks, and understood how these clothes help keep us warm. They also explored winter vegetables like sweet potato, peas, spinach, carrots, and mustard leaves through engaging activities such as the Spin the Veggie game. Sorting activities using dry fruits helped develop their cognitive skills. Christmas was introduced with joy through stories, activities, and Christmas carols. The theme was further integrated with stories like My Winter Memory and Sam’s Christmas Present, helping children relate learning to real-life experiences. Children were also introduced to snowy animals and learnt, in a simple and age-appropriate manner, about why we make New Year's resolutions, focusing on developing good habits and positive beginnings.

Verbal Linguistic Intelligence
​

​Listening and learning go hand in hand at Suncity. Our little ones have developed patience and confidently expressed their thoughts during discussions. They joyfully recited theme-based rhymes such as “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Dashing Through the Snow.” Letter recognition of Tt, Uu, and Vv was reinforced through lively Jolly Phonics songs and by identifying words beginning with these sounds, seamlessly integrated with the stories “Vaani’s Violin” and “Little Girl’s Umbrella.”

Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
​

​Logical/Mathematical intelligence helps children recognize patterns and think logically. Our little learners enjoyed exploring hopping, standing, and wavy line patterns through fun tracing activities. Using the story “My Winter Memory,” they learnt number 8 by counting 8 winter clothes, making learning meaningful and engaging. They also revised numbers 1 to 7, learnt number 8, practised counting 1 to 50, and explored the colour white by identifying objects like cotton, radish, snow, and teeth. It was a joyful experience of learning numbers, patterns, and colours through smart thinking.

Visual Spatial Intelligence
​

​In the month of December, the children enthusiastically participated in a wide range of art and craft activities. They created a snowman craft, a tie craft, an umbrella craft, a carrot lacing craft, and a reindeer lacing activity, which helped strengthen their fine-motor skills. The children also took part in an exciting volcano activity and enjoyed polar bear tearing and pasting. As part of the festive celebrations, they engaged in a Christmas tree stamping activity. In addition, the children made a reindeer using their own handprints and designed New Year cards. These hands-on experiences promoted creativity, coordination, and joyful learning.   

Naturalistic Intelligence
​

​The teacher discussed the importance of self-care, personal hygiene, sharing, and caring for others with the children. Following this, the children were made aware of the importance of electricity and water in our lives as well as for animals, and they discussed ways to conserve these resources. The children also shared how they celebrated Christmas with their families and friends.

 
Musical Intelligence
​

​"Singing chases away worries." – Miguel de Cervantes
Music is a special kind of magic that nurtures young minds and builds confidence. It is not just a source of joy but an important part of life. Great thinkers like Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam and Albert Einstein had a deep love for music. When learning is integrated with music, it enhances memory retention, concentration, and overall academic performance in students.

Western Music
​

​Accompanied by their teacher, the children joyfully sang “I’m a Little Snowman” and the lively, much-loved Christmas carol “Jingle Bells.” Their enthusiasm for learning the words of the songs was clearly evident.

Indian Music
​

​Indian classical music is a special way to connect with our Indian culture, helping students communicate better and express their feelings. 'Sangeet for All' is an excellent music program that introduces children to music in an engaging manner.
This month, the teacher taught the children some enjoyable songs and activities:
  • Warming up our voices
  • Moving our hands to music
  • Shaking instruments
  • Playing a fun game with music notes (Sa Re Ga Ma)
The kids really enjoyed the music and discovered a new way to express themselves.

Dance
“Dance is the hidden language of the soul.”
​

​Dance is more than just movement; it allows children to express joy and emotions freely. Through dancing to the song “Jingle Bells,” our little ones enjoyed a fun and energetic experience that supported their physical health and emotional well-being. The dance session encouraged friendship, teamwork, communication, and cooperation, helping children build confidence and trust while learning through joyful movement.

​Storytelling

​Our story session was filled with joy, imagination, and learning as children listened to engaging stories like एक्की और दुक्की, हाथी और भौंरा, and Hiku. Through these stories, children enjoyed colourful characters, expressed emotions, and developed listening and language skills. The session encouraged creativity, curiosity, and a love for storytelling in a warm and interactive environment.

Drama
​

​The drama session was lively and engaging as children enacted various animal movements and participated in the traffic signal game. Fun activities like sitting on the bed, on the sofa, and under the bed encouraged imagination, emotional awareness, and creativity. Through play and movement, children confidently expressed themselves while developing coordination and social skills.

Imaginarium
​

​Imaginarium is a magical space where children can freely express their creativity. Our young Suncitizens joyfully explored a variety of interactive stations such as the Kitchen Station, Supermarket Station, Lego Station, and Transport Station. They also engaged in hands-on sensory table activities, discovering the textures of rough and smooth objects. In the Imaginarium Lab, children used different shapes to construct houses, encouraging their imagination, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

EYP- Play Area
​

​The play area is a vibrant learning space that supports children’s overall growth and development. Through play, children explore their surroundings, strengthen communication skills, use their imagination, and experience new ideas. This open and interactive environment promotes curiosity and creativity, offering rich opportunities for hands-on learning and discovery. It allows children to experiment, solve problems, and express themselves enjoyably and engagingly. The play area nurtures a sense of wonder and joy, helping to build essential life skills and inspire a lifelong love for learning.
 

Pottery
​

Playing with clay is a wonderful way for children to strengthen their hand muscles and develop fine motor skills by improving finger control. This month, the children had great fun creating a snowman and a reindeer as part of the winter theme, and making an umbrella and a vase while learning about the letters U and V.
​

Montessori Sessions
​

In the Montessori environment, practical life activities are the initial introductions for children. In December, the children engaged in the following activities:
  • Colour Tablet Box (Sensorial Activity): This activity aids children in developing a sense of colour discrimination.
  • Spindle Box: This activity helped children understand and quantify numbers.
  • 'Touch Tablet' for feeling smooth and rough textures.

Bodily Kinaesthetic Intelligence
​

​The children enthusiastically participated in a variety of physical activities. They enjoyed crawling under the chair and then running the remaining distance, which helped enhance their hand–leg coordination. The children also worked on improving their locomotor skills by practising dribbling and catching the ball. In addition, they engaged in an activity where they dragged a ball placed on a Frisbee and carefully walked along a zigzag path, further strengthening their balance, coordination, and movement control.

Interpersonal Intelligence
​

Birthday celebration- Show & Tell
​

​Our little ones thoroughly enjoyed the December birthday celebrations! All EYP children born in December were part of a special Christmas-themed party. They enthusiastically showcased their speaking skills through a Show & Tell activity, confidently sharing their lines with the help of colourful props. The children also discussed basic party manners and appropriate behavior during celebrations.
It was a joyful celebration filled with learning, sharing, and happiness! 🎉🎄

​Events and Celebrations
 

Project UPAHAAR
 
Our school proudly continued its annual Joy of Giving Drive 2025 in December, promoting compassion and social responsibility. In collaboration with AFS India for the Mutthi Bhar Anaaj 4.0 initiative and The Green Sole Foundation for an upcycling drive, essential food grains and gently used items were collected to support underprivileged communities. Actively led by SAKSHAM under TYLP – The Youth Leadership Programme, the initiative reflected strong student leadership, teamwork, and the belief that small acts of kindness can create a meaningful impact.

Christmas 
​

​The children joyfully celebrated Christmas through engaging discussions about the festival, its significance, and the true spirit of the season. They learnt about the joy of sharing, spreading happiness, and caring for others. Through stories, conversations, and activities, the little ones understood that Christmas is not just about celebrations, but also about love, kindness, and togetherness.

 ​Dear Parent(s)
Greetings!The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.’ – Albert Einstein
Children are naturally curious, and to nurture this curiosity throughout their learning journey, we continue to take meaningful steps to build a strong foundation for their education. At Suncity, we believe in sparking and sustaining curiosity in our young learners, ensuring their excitement for learning only grows stronger.
In November, our carefully planned activities encouraged children to explore, wonder, and discover new ideas with joy and confidence. Each experience was designed to keep their enthusiasm alive and inspire them to look forward to what comes next.
Let’s take a nimble glimpse into November!
Theme-Aquatic Animals
The children explored the aquatic world and learned about various sea animals such as fish, octopus, starfish, dolphin, jellyfish, crab, and seahorse. They also gained an understanding of Guru Nanak Jayanti, Children’s Day, World Fisheries Day, and Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s Martyrdom Day through engaging videos and activities.
 
 ​Naturalistic
In November, the focus was on helping children understand the importance of caring for our planet. Through engaging stories, pictures, and hands-on demonstrations, the little ones learned about the ocean and how pollution, oil spills, and throwing garbage into the sea can harm water and marine animals.
 
During circle time, the class discussed why it is important to keep our water bodies clean. The children enthusiastically shared their ideas, such as using dustbins, saving water, and reminding others not to litter. These simple yet meaningful discussions helped them develop early awareness about protecting the environment and keeping our Earth healthy.
 Verbal Linguistic
This month, the children made wonderful progress in their language journey. They are beginning to speak more clearly and confidently, eagerly expressing their thoughts during class discussions. Our language sessions focused on the letters Pp, Qq, Rr, and Ss, where the children practised their sounds and enjoyed building simple words. They can now recognise and recall the letters Aa to Ss with ease. Story time remained a favourite part of the day, like we read Sammy Snake’s Sunny Summer. Through stories, educational videos, real-life objects, and various practice activities, the children are steadily expanding their vocabulary and strengthening their communication skills.
 Visual-Spatial
In Visual Spatial, children engaged in a variety of creative craft activities that supported their imagination and fine-motor skills. They enjoyed making a penguin craft, a jellyfish craft, a rocket craft, a crab craft, and the letter S snake craft. They also participated in a group activity to create the seven colours of the rainbow, designed a special Children’s Day badge, and completed heart stamping in their sketch files. These hands-on experiences helped them explore shapes, colours, and patterns while expressing their creativity.  
 
 ​Musical Intelligence
Music is a wonderful way to communicate, even without words. The children enjoyed musical stories and practised voice intonation through English and Hindi songs. This helped them learn new vocabulary and understand different expressions more confidently.
Indian Music
This month, the children practised “Listen to My Swartarang,” enjoyed the “Sa, Re, Ga, Ma” body game, and took part in vocal warm-up exercises. They also engaged in introductory practice with the Swartarang.
 
 Western Music
 In November, our little ones learned a new song, “Down in the Deep Blue Sea,” and they were excited to play the drum beats.
 
 Show and Tell
 A “Show and Tell” activity was held with the theme “My Favourite Festival/My Favourite Aquatic Animal”. The children learned about social etiquette, such as standing confidently and greeting others politely. They also talked about good manners for social gatherings, including birthday parties. Dressed according to the theme, each child took a turn sharing their thoughts with their friends. This activity helped them understand how to behave appropriately in different social situations.
 ​Montessori
The children practised essential life skills such as folding a napkin and using the Velcro Frame with Montessori materials. They also strengthened their understanding of number quantification through activities with the number rods and the spindle box.
 ​Drama
Drama encouraged the children to use their imagination as they practised expressing a range of emotions, including happiness, sadness, anger and excitement. They also explored different body movements individually and in small groups, creating shapes such as a circle, a line, a train, and a plant. Adding sounds like those of a train or a car made the experience even more enjoyable as they formed the shapes together.
 ​Pottery
Give children clay, and their imagination instantly comes alive. Our little ones used the clay to mould different objects such as a ring, a spoon, a pizza, and a starfish, strengthening their fine-motor skills and creative thinking as they worked.
 ​Dance
Move, groove, and express yourself—Dance fills every step with joy!”
In November, the children celebrated Guru Nanak Jayanti through expressive movements to the Nanak Aya song and began preparing for the Christmas spirit with creative steps to Jingle Bells. These sessions encouraged imagination, rhythm, and body awareness, allowing children to connect deeply with the music. Through fun and engaging movement activities, they strengthened both their physical and sensory skills while enjoying the festive themes.
 ​Bodily Kinaesthetic
Bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence is about using and controlling our body movements. The children took part in activities like jumping into hula hoops, balancing, and placing balls inside hoops. They also enjoyed a ball-handling game using a hockey stick, moving the ball in a zigzag pattern. In addition, they practised placing a marker on a cone, helping them improve coordination and control.
 ​Imaginarium
In the Imaginarium, the mix of free and structured play supports children’s overall development. Activities like pretend play, building with blocks, and exploring a flower shop help develop cognitive, creative, social, and motor skills. This approach lets children explore their interests, build social skills, and boost their imagination. It also supports different learning styles and provides balance, fostering both skill development and self-expression. Overall, it promotes a well-rounded growth experience for the children.
 EYP Play area
​Free play is a crucial avenue for children to develop essential social skills. Interacting and collaborating with peers during play teaches them negotiation, turn-taking, and resource-sharing. Effective communication emerges naturally, fostering the growth of vital social abilities. Additionally, play serves as a platform for learning empathy, respect, and cooperation, laying the groundwork for positive and harmonious relationships.
 ​Storytelling
In children, storytelling provides many psychological and educational benefits, such as enhanced imagination to help visualize spoken words, improved vocabulary, and more refined communication skills. Stories like ‘Mister Seahorse’, ‘Little Red Hen’, ‘The Snail and the Whale’ were shown and narrated to the children to enhance their imagination and visualization skills so as to have profound and lasting effect on their growing minds.
 ​Events and Celebrations
Guru Nanak Jayanti
Our month began with the serene celebration of Guru Nanak Jayanti. The children participated in a simple Nagar Kirtan walk along the school corridor, spreading peace through shabad music. They also received prasad, learning the values of sharing, gratitude, and equality that Guru Nanak Dev Ji taught.
 ​Children’s Day
On Children’s Day, our little stars had an unforgettable celebration filled with joy and excitement. They giggled and cheered as they watched a delightful puppet show, enjoying every moment of the playful characters. The children relished tasty treats like popcorn, muffins, and refreshing juice, making the day even sweeter. To make each child feel extra special and appreciated, they received a unique badge personalised to match their personality trait — a beautiful reminder of how wonderfully unique they are. It was truly a day dedicated to celebrating their smiles, talents, and the magic they bring to our world!
 LEAP
 Listen >Engage >Acquire> Perform
Think beyond the magic and get beyond the imagination!
To unleash the creativity of our children, we conduct LEAP activities each month wherein children perform various brainstorming tasks to enhance their higher-order thinking skills and ingenuity to be future-ready.
Below are the activities performed by the students this month:​
  • Hop, Stop, Pop in the Hoop- In this activity the children hop into a hoop, stop and balance their body, and then ‘pop’ out by jumping forward.
  • Colour Cup Challenge- In the Colour Cup Challenge, the children were required to place the balls on the correct cups by matching them to the corresponding colour strip. This activity helped strengthen their colour recognition, fine-motor skills and hand–eye coordination.
 ​EYP Assembly
Class Assembly – EYP2 B
The students of EYP–2B conducted a heartfelt Children’s Day assembly, showcasing the significance of this special day celebrated nationwide on 14 November. Through their presentation, they highlighted that the day marks the birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru, fondly known as Chacha Nehru for his great affection for children.
The children also shared why Children’s Day is observed and spoke about important child rights, including the right to education, nutritious food, and safety. Their confident and thoughtful performance made the assembly both meaningful and inspiring, reminding everyone of the importance of valuing and protecting every child.
 Class Assembly – EYP2 C
The young learners of EYP 2C presented a heart-warming assembly on Tolerance, reminding us that kindness, understanding, and acceptance help us live together peacefully. The morning began with a calming prayer, followed by the thought: “Tolerance helps us accept and celebrate our differences.”
Children shared simple ways to practise tolerance—listening, respecting, sharing, and welcoming differences. A charming skit with children dressed as animals and flowers showed how all living beings coexist in harmony. Their lively dance to “Hakuna Matata” added joy and colour to the celebration, making the assembly truly memorable.

Dear Parent(s),
Greetings!

As October begins, there’s a gentle change in the air — the season of festivities, colours, and joyful learning! The month brings new opportunities for exploration and creativity as children continue to learn through stories, celebrations, and hands-on experiences. We’re excited to share the wonderful moments that made October so special at school.
Welcome to Ornate October!
 
THEME- BIRDS AND FLOWERS 
QCT
Learning About Birds:
Children learned that birds are special creatures with unique features such as feathers, wings, beaks, and claws. They discovered how feathers help birds stay warm, wings help them fly, and beaks are designed to suit their eating habits. The little ones enjoyed identifying different birds, observing their sounds and movements, and engaging in fun bird-related activities.

Exploring Flowers:
Our curious learners also explored the beauty of flowers. They learned that flowers come in various colours, shapes, and sizes, and play an important role in nature by attracting bees and butterflies and helping plants produce seeds. Children observed real flowers, discussed their parts, and created beautiful flower crafts to reinforce their learning.

Understanding Festivals of India:
To build cultural awareness, the children also learned about the importance of festivals celebrated across India. They understood that festivals bring people together, spread happiness, and teach values like sharing, caring, and togetherness.

All About Diwali:
As part of this theme, the children learned about Diwali, the Festival of Lights. They discovered that Diwali celebrates the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Children listened to stories about Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya, decorated diyas, and spoke about how families celebrate with sweets, lights, and joy.
VERBAL LINGUISTIC ENGLISH
Language development helps children build the skills needed to read, write, and express themselves clearly. The children are now speaking more confidently and sharing their thoughts and ideas with ease. They practised the phonic sounds and words for the letters ‘Nn’ and ‘Oo’. They can now recognise letters from ‘Aa’ to ‘Oo’ and say their sounds correctly. They also enjoyed listening to stories like Nina and the Nest. Their vocabulary is growing through stories, videos, real objects, and practice sheets.
NATURALISTIC  INTELLIGENCE
The festive season is the most joyous time of the year, filling everyone’s hearts with happiness and excitement. Each festival carries its own significance and meaning, and it is essential to help children understand the importance of celebrating these special occasions. Participating in festivals together fosters a sense of unity and togetherness, while traditional cuisines add to the joy of the celebrations.
* The children were apprised of the significance of celebrating festivals and their cultural importance.
* They were also guided on the importance of segregating waste into wet and dry categories and were motivated to practice reuse and recycling.
* The educator further sensitized the children about maintaining cleanliness and encouraged them to keep their classrooms neat and tidy.
LOGICAL MATHS
Logical-mathematical intelligence enables children to think critically and creatively, analyse problems logically, process information effectively, and enhance concentration. The children practised oral counting from 1 to 20, learned to recognise and quantify the number 6, and were introduced to the ‘star’ shape through audiovisual aids and workbook activities. They also explored the concept of ‘heavy and light’ using an engaging audio-visual presentation followed by related workbook exercises.
VISUAL SPATIAL
To reinforce their learning, the children took part in a series of exciting, hands-on craft activities. They created a bird craft to revisit their learning about birds and designed a cheerful ostrich craft, blending creativity with their theme. Using the potter’s wheel, they moulded and coloured diyas, experiencing the joy of shaping clay and celebrating the spirit of Diwali. The children also enjoyed making a number 6 craft with pipe cleaners, strengthening both their creativity and number recognition skills.
It was a week filled with imagination, curiosity, and joyful learning, where every activity helped bring concepts to life! 
MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE

Indian Music
Children participated in engaging musical activities such as vocal warm-ups and rhythm clapping. They also practised singing the welcome song and enjoyed playing the 'Sa Re Ga Ma' body game along with exploring the musical instrument called the 'Shaker.'
​

Western Music
Introducing music at an early age supports overall development and skill-building. Children practised singing a new song titled ‘Festivals’, accompanied by the soothing tune of the guitar.

DRAMA
Children engaged in a creative drama activity where they explored various bird movements, practising flapping, hopping, and graceful gliding. They also used their imagination to transform a balloon into a living companion, interacting with it through expressions and gestures. By sharing joyful moments with their pretend friend and eventually letting it go, children learned about emotions, care, and independence. This activity beautifully combined movement, creativity, and emotional development.
MONTESSORI
Practical life activities are the first experiences children explore in the Montessori environment.
In October, they practised:
• Velcro Frame Activity – to help children develop hand–eye coordination and fine motor skills.
• Number Rods (1 to 5) – to help children understand number quantity and sequencing through hands-on learning.

STORY TELLING
Storytime became magical as children gathered to listen to tales blooming with imagination! They listened to the story of ‘चिमटी का फूल’, learning names of various flowers and how they spread beauty everywhere. The exciting story “Room on the Broom” took them on a fun adventure with a kind witch and her friends. With wide eyes and happy smiles, they joined the story world, guessing what would happen next. Every session was filled with laughter, learning, and a sprinkle of magic!
POTTERY
Children explored their sense of touch and sight while working with clay, developing tactile and visual perception. They creatively shaped squares, triangles, and circles, made a ‘Diya’ for Diwali, and an ‘Octopus’ for the letter ‘Oo,’ which they later coloured as per their choice.
DANCE
Dance is a wonderful source of joy, laughter, and celebration. To help our little performers embrace the festive spirit, they learned to move rhythmically to the Diwali song “आई दीवाली.”
BODILY KINAESTHETIC
Children had a wonderful time pretending to be little frogs as they jumped and hopped with excitement. They confidently crossed small hurdles, building balance and coordination. Moving carefully around the cones helped them improve spatial awareness and control. These playful activities strengthened their motor skills while keeping the fun and energy high!
IMAGINARIUM
The children thoroughly enjoyed engaging in pretend play in the kitchen corner, building various structures in the block area, and on the LEGO table. They were especially fascinated to find toy animal footprints in the active sand. Each learning corner in the ‘Imaginarium’ provided them with meaningful opportunities to explore their interests and discover their unique abilities.
EYP PLAY AREA
Playtime is a crucial part of early childhood development. It supports cognitive growth by encouraging problem-solving and critical thinking, while also helping children develop social skills like sharing, cooperation, and communication. Through physical play, they improve motor skills and coordination, and imaginative play boosts creativity and self-expression. Emotionally, play helps children build confidence, resilience and learn to manage their feelings. Far beyond simple fun, play is a key driver of healthy development and future success.
Offering a blend of free and structured play supports children in developing a wide range of skills while helping them feel more balanced in their daily routines.
LEAP
For the LEAP activity titled “Bee Ventures in the Maze,” the children enthusiastically took on the challenge of helping the bee find its way to the flower by navigating through a maze. They carefully traced the path, using problem-solving skills and focus to guide the bee in the right direction. This engaging task not only reinforced their logical thinking but also made learning fun and interactive.
             
EVENTS AND CELEBRATION 
The month was filled with joy, learning, and togetherness for our little learners in the EYP 1. Our young ones experienced a series of delightful celebrations that helped them understand the beauty of Indian traditions and values.
To begin with, Dussehra was celebrated with great enthusiasm. Children learned about the victory of good over evil through engaging stories and role plays. They created colourful crafts depicting Ravana, proudly displaying their artwork while chanting festive rhymes.
Next came the sparkling Diwali celebration, where our classrooms lit up with smiles and diyas. The children decorated diyas. Through these joyful activities, they learned the message of light, love, and kindness.
 
NAMAN – CELEBRATING THE IMPORTANCE OF GRANDPARENTS IN OUR LIVES
Adding to the warmth of the season was our heartfelt event, ‘Naman’ – a day dedicated to grandparents. Teachers welcomed grandparents with a dance performance and children gave handmade cards. It was a touching celebration of love, gratitude, and family bonds, reminding everyone how precious this connection is.
​
EXCURSION – A VISIT TO FARM
Another highlight was the excursion for our children to a farm Nature's Nest. The young explorers were thrilled to meet and learn about various farm animals such as ducks, cows, sheep, horses, and hens. Their excitement knew no bounds as they observed how these animals live, what they eat, and the sounds they make. The experience nurtured their curiosity, love for nature, and understanding of the world around them.
​

SUPERCHARGED SEPTEMBER

10/1/2025

0 Comments

 
Dear Parent(s),
Greetings!

We are off to the midsession, and time has flown by with our little ones! At
Suncity, we believe that education's true purpose lies in each individual's holistic
development, empowering them to lead a more fulfilling and enriched life.
Education benefits the individual and contributes to the improvement of society as
a whole. Today’s children hold the potential to make a significant impact on
tomorrow’s world.
                              Welcome to Supercharged September!

THEME- ANIMALS

The children were introduced to the theme of farm and wild animals in an engaging
and interactive manner. To build curiosity and excitement, energizers such as
animal movement games and sound imitations were conducted. The children enjoyed
hopping like rabbits, roaring like lions, mooing like cows, and flapping their arms like
birds. These activities brought energy to the session and helped the learners
connect actions and sounds with different animals.
To deepen their understanding, stories related to farm and wild animals were
narrated. Through these stories, children discovered how animals live, their unique
features, and the role they play in our environment. The use of simple narratives
encouraged active listening, imagination, and vocabulary building.
This blended approach, combining energizers and storytelling, made the learning
experience joyful, interactive, and memorable. Children learned to identify and
differentiate between farm and wild animals, developing an appreciation for their

importance in nature.
VERBAL LINGUISTIC

Our little explorers had a wonderful time imitating animal sounds — from roaring
lions to neighing horses! Their curiosity sparked lively conversations with questions
like, “What do animals eat? Where do they live? Do they sleep like us? How do they
take care of their babies? Why do some animals have tails?” The excitement grew
as they eagerly shared their own experiences, whether it was riding a horse or
talking about their beloved pets.

Adding to the fun, children clapped, tapped, and sang along with cheerful phonic
songs for the letters Kk, Ll, and Mm. They giggled while repeating the sounds,
spotted them in words around the classroom, and even acted them out through
short, lively stories. Each new word felt like a discovery, turning phonics into an
adventure full of sound, action, and imagination!
NATURALISTIC

This month, children learned about the impact of their actions on animals,
especially the dangers of using and discarding polybags. They pledged to protect
animals by adding handprints to a ‘Save Animals’ poster. Through the story Anna
and Her Pet, they understood the importance of kindness towards animals. They
also embraced Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of cleanliness by participating in classroom
cleaning under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. Additionally, children celebrated
Dussehra by learning about its significance—the victory of good over evil—and the
values of truth, courage, and compassion.
LOGICAL MATHEMATICS

Our little ones joyfully recited numbers in sequence through rhymes and learnt to
recognize the number 5, counting the fingers on one hand and toes on one foot with
great excitement. While exploring the concept of ‘Thick and Thin’, they also
enjoyed listening to the story “How I Met My Mother,” which helped them connect
emotions with their learning. As they moved on to the shape ‘Rectangle,’ they were
thrilled to point out rectangle-shaped objects in the room, such as the door, AC,
remote, and even their crayon box! Later, during their creative time, they

attempted fun activities like tearing and pasting, colouring, and making a cow craft
from rectangular cutouts. Adding to the excitement, the story “The Magical Leaf
Adventure” sparked their imagination and curiosity, beautifully blending
storytelling with their hands-on experiences.
VISUAL SPATIAL

Our little learners had a wonderful time exploring animals through a fun visual-
spatial activity. They made adorable crafts of ducks, pigs, sheep, and hens, which
helped them learn more about farm animals in a creative way. To celebrate the
festival of Dussehra, the children also enjoyed making a bright and colorful Ravana
craft, adding joy and excitement to their learning journey.
MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE

Music plays an important role in children’s growth. It supports their thinking and
language skills, while also encouraging creativity and helping them express their
feelings.

INDIAN MUSIC
This month, the children enjoyed music during all activities. They sang a welcome
song, practiced vocal warm-ups, and had fun learning rhythm through clapping.



​WESTERN MUSIC
The children also had a great time singing the song “I Have a Pet” related to the
monthly theme Animals, along with other rhymes connected to the theme.
DRAMA

The little ones explored the exciting world of animals through movements, sounds,
and expressions. Pretending to be lions, they roared with wide-open mouths, while
hopping like rabbits made them giggle with joy. They flapped their arms like birds,
slithered like snakes, and stomped like elephants, using their bodies to bring each
animal to life. Through playful role play, children not only practiced imagination and
creativity but also learned how expressions, gestures, and sounds can tell a story
without words.
MONTESSORI

Practical life activities are the first set of exercises children explore in a
Montessori classroom. These activities help children develop order, coordination,
independence, and concentration. The children practiced and gained confidence by
doing everyday tasks on their own, such as folding a handkerchief, spooning,
pouring water, and working with the spindle box.
STORY TELLING

Children enjoyed listening to engaging tales like शलजम, सो जा उल्लू , and A Squash
and a Squeeze. Each story sparked their imagination and taught them important
values—teamwork from the शलजम, story, rest and patience from the owl, and
gratitude from A Squash and a Squeeze. With curious eyes and eager smiles, they
listened, responded, and even tried to enact parts of the stories, making story
time both fun and full of learning.
POTTERY

The children explored clay using their sense of touch and sight. They experienced
different textures such as hot, cold, smooth, rough, hard, soft, slippery, and
sticky. They also observed and identified matte and shiny surfaces. The activity
encouraged creativity as the children shaped rectangles, squares, and circles. With
the educator’s support, they made a cat face, duck feet, and a leaf to reinforce
the letter Ll.
DANCE

Dance is a beautiful art form that combines sequences of movement with rhythm.
It strengthens muscles, improves body balance, increases flexibility, and supports
cognitive development. This month, the children joyfully practiced dance steps to
the song ‘आई दिवाली,’  celebrating the festive spirit through movement.
BODILY KINAESTHETIC

Physical activities are essential for the holistic development of young children,
supporting their physical, cognitive, and social growth. Under the guidance of the
sports educator, students participated in a variety of structured exercises.
Throughout the month, they actively engaged in practicing the following activities.
Warm-up exercises included on-the-spot jogging, jumping, and running. Students
were able to perform locomotor skills, such as:
·       Rolling the ball between the cones and attempting to hit a cone
·       Passing through the obstacles and hitting the bottle with a ball.
·       Striking a ball using a cricket bat after crossing the hurdle.
IMAGINARIUM

Blending free play with structured activities supports children's overall
development and helps them feel more balanced throughout the day. In the
'Imaginarium,' the children enthusiastically engaged in pretend play in the kitchen
corner, built imaginative structures with blocks, and created with Legos. These
activities gave them the freedom to explore their interests while building a variety
of cognitive, social, and motor skills.
EYP PLAY AREA

The play area serves as a window into each child's world, offering teachers
valuable insight while providing a rich environment for growth and development.
Through play, children learn to express themselves, navigate new experiences, and
make sense of the world around them. It’s a space where exploration, imagination,
and creativity come to life—always rooted in the joy of having fun.

​Dear Parent(s),
Greetings!
 
“Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.” – Mr. Rogers
 
 
We're convinced that play enables children to practice what they learn. That's why our activities are crafted to facilitate fun learning and exploration. Now, let's peek into the exciting month of August.
​Theme- Rainy Season
The rhyme “I Hear Thunder” perfectly complemented this month’s theme, engaging the children in real-time experiences. They joyfully recited “Rain, Rain, Go Away,” “It’s Raining, It’s Pouring,” and “Farmer Plants the Seeds.” Through the story “Rainbow Sambar,” they learned about rainbows, while a nature walk introduced them to rain protection and seasonal insects.
Meaningful discussions on environmental care deepened their awareness. The butterfly life cycle was explored through a prop, and nurturing saplings and seeds gave the children a hands-on understanding of growth and care for nature.
 
​NaturalisticTop of Form
The pleasant, breezy weather provided the children a wonderful opportunity to step outdoors and become more mindful about keeping our surroundings and water bodies clean. They observed insects such as butterflies, ladybugs, and dragonflies fluttering around with curiosity and excitement. Creativity came alive as they made beautiful leaf imprints on paper and even created a rainbow using tissue and colours. Furthermore, through the engaging audio-visual story “Milo’s Magic,” the children learned how to care for plants and nurture nature.
​Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
We discussed the simple actions we can take to maintain our hygiene and health. The children shared their ideas, such as washing hands before eating, brushing teeth twice a day, bathing regularly, wearing clean clothes, and eating healthy food. Through this activity, they understood how these habits keep us strong, fresh, and happy.
​Verbal linguistic
Children continued to gain knowledge by absorbing information through their daily interactions and hands-on experiences. A remarkable achievement among our young learners has been their growing ability to actively listen and maintain focused attention on speakers. They have proudly reached milestones such as introducing themselves, responding to morning greetings, reciting rhymes and prayers, and engaging more confidently in simple question-and-answer sessions.
In literacy, the children successfully learnt the phonics sounds and words associated with the letters ‘Hh’ –‘Jj’ while reinforcing their understanding of letters Aa–Gg through engaging mediums such as audio-visual aids, stories, concrete objects, and practice materials. The story “Mushroom in the Rain” further enriched their learning, helping them explore the value of sharing, kindness, and cooperation in a simple and relatable way.
Their learning journey was made joyful with creative activities designed to strengthen letter recognition. One such activity was earbud painting, which turned practice into an enjoyable and effective experience.
 
 
​Logical Mathematical
Our little ones are steadily strengthening their understanding of the world around them. They are learning to comprehend ideas, make sense of their surroundings, retain information, and even make logical predictions based on their experiences.
This week, they explored the concept of number 4 through the activity ‘Match the Numbers with the Dots’, which was thoughtfully integrated with the story ‘Mushroom in the Rain’ and its connections to everyday objects. They also enjoyed solving the puzzle ‘Spot the Differences’. To deepen their understanding, children used examples such as leaves, crayons, pencils, flashcards, worksheets, and even their own fingers.
In addition, they practiced tracing zigzag patterns and recognizing the shape of a square, building both their fine motor skills and early math concepts.
 
​Visual Spatial
‘Sorry for the mess, the kids are busy making memories.’

Our little ones have been wonderfully imaginative, bringing their creativity to life through a variety of crafts. They created horse crafts, jelly bean jar crafts, Rakhi crafts, colourful butterfly crafts, and decorated मटकी for the Janmashtami festival. Each piece of artwork, lovingly made with their own hands, was a joy to witness and a true reflection of their happiness in learning through creativity.
 
​Water Play

Water play turned out to be a delightful mix of fun and learning for our EYP children. The splashing activities not only filled the day with joy but also contributed to their overall development. Through play, the children strengthened their gross motor skills, improved hand–eye coordination, and expanded their vocabulary in interactive ways. The cheerful laughter and sparkling smiles beautifully reflected how meaningful learning can blossom through simple, playful moments.
​Musical Intelligence
‘Words make you think. Music makes you feel. A song makes you feel a thought.’
​Indian Music
Children love music because it holds the power to express and bring a sense of joy into their lives. During this month, children practiced ‘In the wind song’, playing स्वर तरंग along with the Educator.
​Western Music
 In the western music session, children practiced singing the song, ‘Drip Drop Rain Drop’, to the tune of a piano.
​Interpersonal
 

​Show N Tell
We conducted a special “Show and Tell” activity based on the theme of the rainy season. Through this, the children not only shared their ideas but also learned the importance of greeting others politely and taking turns while speaking. They also engaged in a discussion on appropriate behaviour at a birthday party, which helped them understand good manners in everyday situations. Later, the children confidently spoke a few sentences about the theme and enthusiastically displayed their creative props, making the session both joyful and enriching for their social skills.
Montessori
In the Montessori setting, children first explore practical life activities. These activities help them build four important skills: staying organized, moving with control, working independently, and developing concentration. The children practiced tasks such as folding a handkerchief, using a spoon, pouring liquids, and working with a spindle box. Through these activities, they are becoming more confident and capable in doing things on their own.
Practical life activities are the first activities the child is introduced to within the Montessori environment.
 In August, children practiced the activities given below:
  •  Spindle Box for the quantification numbers 1 to 4
  •  Sandpaper letters – letters a and b   – It helped the children to identify the sound and the formation.
  • Folding of a napkin - a practical life skill activity
​Drama
During early childhood, drama is not about memorizing lines, copying behaviours, or performing for an audience. Instead, it focuses on helping children express themselves freely. At this stage, with proper care and guidance, kids are already able to understand the difference between right and wrong. With this goal in mind, we engaged them in exploring body movements and enacting through fun expression games.
​Storytelling
This month, our little learners enjoyed three delightful stories that sparked their imagination and curiosity.
Pip and Posy - The Friendly Snail taught children about kindness and the joy of making new friends.
Trees helped children appreciate the beauty of nature. They learned how trees give us shade, fruits, and fresh air, and why it is important to love and protect them.
लाली और काली was a fun-filled story of exploring the world of plants and trees that spark curiosity and joy.”
These stories not only entertained but also nurtured values of friendship, care for nature, and the wonder of growth—making learning truly joyful! 
​Pottery
While working with clay, children used their sense of touch and sight, leading to the development of:
  • Tactile perception: distinguishing between hot, cold, smooth, rough, hard, soft, slippery, sticky, and gooey textures.
  • Visual perception: recognizing matte, shiny, and smooth appearances.
Children showcased their creativity by making various shapes such as squares, triangles, and circles. They also crafted different insects related to the rainy season—like butterflies, caterpillars, and earthworms—guided by the educator
​Dance
Dancing brings joy, laughter, and happiness. The children enjoyed moving to the rhythm of songs like ‘देश मेरे देश मेरे’ and the ‘Rain Song’, while also strengthening their bodies through dance.
​Bodily Kinaesthetic Intelligence
Bodily-kinaesthetic skills play an important role in enhancing students’ gross motor abilities, fine motor control, eye-hand coordination, and overall physical development. This month, our little learners, guided by their educator, enjoyed practicing a variety of exercises using different props.
They began with warm-up activities such as on-the-spot jogging, jumping, and running. They also practiced calisthenics exercises, which included jumping into hula hoops and carefully placing markers. These activities not only built strength and coordination but also made exercise a fun and engaging experience for the children.
 They also practiced attempting the drill for the Bodily Kinaesthetic Event.
​Imaginarium
A balance of free and structured play helps children build a wide range of skills while feeling more confident and content in their daily lives. At the Imaginarium, children delighted in pretend play at the kitchen corner, constructed creative structures with blocks, and explored designs at the Lego table. Each learning corner provided opportunities for them to discover their unique interests and abilities, beautifully reflecting the idea of multiple intelligences
​EYP Play Area
The play area is like an open book that helps teachers create a space where kids can grow and develop in the best possible way. Play allows children to learn about the world, communicate, imagine, and handle new situations. It's a place where they explore, discover, and create all while having a lot of fun.
​Events and celebrations
Independence Day
"Freedom is priceless; it's like the air we breathe. What wouldn't someone do to live freely?"
​"The future of India lies in young hands — let’s dream, build, and lead the way to a Viksit Bharat together."
Suncitizens celebrated India’s 79th Independence Day on August 15, 2025, within the school premises with immense pride and gratitude, honoring it as the ‘Gift of Freedom’ bestowed upon us by our ancestors.

 ​Dear Parent(s)
Greetings!‘The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.’ – Albert Einstein
Children are naturally curious, and to nurture this curiosity throughout their learning journey, we must take meaningful steps to build a strong foundation for their education. At Suncity, we believe it is essential to spark and sustain curiosity in our young learners, ensuring that the desire to learn never fades. That’s why our activities are thoughtfully designed to keep children eager and excited about what comes next.
Let’s take a joyful glimpse into July!
 Theme-Summer Season
The school corridors were filled with cheerful voices as the children returned after a long summer break. Summer, being the hottest season of the year, brought plenty of fun, especially during 'Water Play' activities. The children also learned that the sun is at its hottest during midday.
They were introduced to the variety of fruits available in summer, such as mangoes, plums, litchis, muskmelons, watermelons, and cherries.
To stay cool and safe during the summer, the children learned some helpful tips:
  • Wear light cotton clothes, sunglasses, and a hat.
  • Eat and drink cool, refreshing items.
  • Conserve water and electricity.
  • Help the environment by planting and watering trees.
 ​Naturalistic
Our young environmental stewards learned the importance of keeping their surroundings clean. They understood the need to provide water to birds and animals during the hot summer months. In a creative clay modelling activity, they also explored ways to conserve water by crafting a symbolic water drop.
Our curious and adventurous learners enjoyed a nature walk to the school’s vegetable garden. They were excited to see fresh vegetables growing and learned how these healthy foods help us grow strong. They felt proud and joyful as they watered the plants, taking part in the care of the garden.
 ​Verbal Linguistic
Early language acquisition comes naturally to most children, but the way adults respond to their attempts at communication can greatly impact their language development, either accelerating or hindering it. To ensure positive growth, we engage with the children by using complete sentences and speaking in warm, gentle tones. During Quality Circle Time, we actively involve them in a variety of activities, encouraging self-expression.
In these sessions, the children practiced phonics songs and explored words related to letters from 'Aa' to 'Gg,' following the techniques mentioned above. To further enrich their language skills, we introduced theme-based rhymes such as 'Summertime,' 'Garmi Aayi,' 'Wind the Bobbin Up,' 'Mr. Sun,' and 'The Little Raindrop’.To enhance their vocabulary, we incorporated audiovisual aids, real objects, stories, and practice sheets, providing a well-rounded and enjoyable language learning experience.
 ​Logical Mathematical
In the vibrant world of mathematics, children embark on exciting adventures to explore sizes, shapes, numbers, colours, and directions. They revisited the concepts of slanting and sleeping lines, as well as the numbers "1" and "2," using familiar everyday objects. Through the story of Felix the Frog, they were introduced to the number "3." Playful exploration led them to discover the triangle shape, which they recognized in common items and used to create their triangle masterpieces.
Engaging rhymes and the story of Felix the Frog also helped them learn the concepts of tall and short. Alongside the story and various objects, they were introduced to the colour blue. In this dynamic learning environment, every activity sparks curiosity and builds a strong foundation for a lifelong journey of mathematical understanding and exploration.
 Visual-Spatial
Visual-spatial intelligence is the ability to imagine or visualize the positions, shapes, and spatial relationships of objects, as well as how they move and form new spatial arrangements. The children enjoyed a variety of fun and engaging activities, such as a seahorse craft activity, and creating slanting lines by pasting strips onto sheets as part of their pre-number concept learning. It was a joy to see the children's faces light up as they created beautiful things themselves.
These activities were thoughtfully integrated with logical mathematics and verbal-linguistic skills. For example, they created a fox to represent the letter "F" using paper, and made an elephant craft for the letter "E." Later, the children were delighted to place triangles on sheets to review the shape of a triangle, paint bottle caps to make grapes, and colour raindrops.
 ​Waterplay
Water play offers resistance, making activities in the splash pool a great form of strength training for children. It provides hands-on learning through exploration. Splashing, pouring, and experimenting with water teach children valuable lessons in science, math, and social skills. Water play boosts motor development and language abilities while fostering teamwork and problem-solving. They were also educated on important hygiene practices and safety measures.
 ​Musical Intelligence
Music is a powerful form of communication that transcends language. Our children practiced musical stories and voice intonation through English and Hindi songs. This not only helped them learn new words but also enabled them to understand a variety of expressions.
Indian Music
This month, the children practiced "Listen to my Swartarang" and enjoyed the "Sa, re, ga, ma" body game and vocal warm-up exercises. They also had some basic practice with the Swartarang.
 
 ​Western Music
In July, our little ones learned new songs, "Sing the colour song and fruit song," and they were thrilled to play the drum.
 
 
 ​Birthday celebration
A "Show and Tell" activity was conducted with the theme "Summer Season" as part of a birthday celebration. The children learned about social etiquette, including how to stand confidently and greet others politely. They also discussed appropriate manners for social gatherings, such as a birthday party. Dressed according to the theme, each child took turns sharing their thoughts with their friends. Through this activity, they gained an understanding of how to behave appropriately in social settings.
 
 ​Montessori
Children engaged in practicing essential life skills, such as spooning and pouring liquids, using Montessori materials. They also reinforced their understanding of the primary colours—red, yellow, and blue—through the use of colour tablets.
 
 ​Drama
Drama supports the development of children's creative imagination. After the summer break, they practiced expressing various emotions, including happiness, sadness, anger, and excitement. They also enjoyed engaging in a body exploration activity guided by their educator.
 ​Pottery
Give children clay, and you'll witness their imagination and creativity come to life. Our little ones used their creativity to mould various clay objects—such as fish, figs, different shapes, and water droplets—all inspired by the theme of saving water during the summer season.
 
 ​Dance
Dance plays a vital role in early childhood development, helping young learners improve coordination, balance, and motor skills. It also fosters creativity and self-expression, allowing children to explore their emotions and imagination. Additionally, dance promotes social interaction and teamwork as children learn to move and perform together. In July, the children of EYP 1 enthusiastically learned dance steps to the song ‘‘देश मेरे ,देश मेरे’.
 
 ​Bodily kinaesthetic
Bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence refers to the ability to use and control body movements effectively, involving coordination, timing, and the connection between mind and body. Children participated in locomotor activities such as jumping into hula hoops, balancing their bodies, and placing balls inside the hoops. They also practiced enthusiastically for the upcoming Bodily-Kinaesthetic event. With every step and twirl, our little dancers brought their dreams to life through movement.

0 Comments

 
Dear Parent(s),
Greetings!

"From first-day jitters to bright smiles, each moment has been a beautiful
step in this new journey together."

At Suncity, we believe that the true purpose of education is the holistic
development of every individual, empowering them to lead richer, more
meaningful lives. Education nurtures personal growth and plays a vital role in
shaping a better society. Today's children are tomorrow's change makers, and
through quality education, they gain the tools to make a lasting, positive impact
on the world around them.

Let's take a sneak peek at the days in April and May.
Theme – Me/Myself

Children were introduced to the basics of self-introduction and the importance
of greeting others politely. A guided tour of the school familiarized them with
its many facilities and the expected code of conduct. Through interactive
sessions, educators engaged with the children to learn about their favourite
fruits, toys, and clothing, while sharing their preferences to build connection
and trust. Discussions highlighted the importance of building meaningful
friendships. Additionally, children explored the names and functions of
different body parts. They were introduced to the concept of family diversity,
celebrating the individuality of each child and their unique family background.
The value of nurturing positive friendships was a recurring theme throughout
these enriching interactions.
SDG 3 for the Month: Good Health and Well-being
Children were gently guided on the importance of personal hygiene, including the
proper way to brush their teeth and the habit of washing hands before and
after meals. During quality circle time, engaging discussions and cheerful
rhymes were used to encourage healthy eating habits and promote overall well-being.
Naturalistic Intelligence:
“The Mud will wash off, but the memories will last a lifetime.”
Children explored the value of friendship by learning to express affection
through friendly gestures like handshakes and hugs, using their "golden arms
and hands" for kindness rather than actions like hitting or pushing. The magic
words--Please, Thank you, Welcome, Sorry, and Excuse Me—were introduced through an
engaging video, helping children understand their importance in everyday
interactions.
The significance of hand hygiene was brought to life through the interactive
pepper-and-soap experiment, leaving a lasting impression on young minds. To
nurture their naturalistic intelligence, children took imprints of leaves, flowers,
and other natural objects in play dough. This hands-on activity sparked curiosity
and helped them explore the shape, color, and texture of natural materials.
They also engaged their senses of touch and smell by exploring a variety of
items such as cardamom, cinnamon, orange juice, lemon, sugar, salt, bay leaves,
and textured fabrics—deepening their sensory awareness and observation skills
in a playful and meaningful way.
Verbal Linguistic:
The importance of listening as a foundational skill for learning was consistently
reinforced through engaging activities such as games, rhymes, and thoughtful
discussions. Stories like 'The Lion and the Mouse' ‘The Little Red Hen’ and ‘Jack and
the Beanstalk’ 
sparked children's imagination, helping to extend their attention spans
while nurturing their ability to listen actively, comprehend details, and express their
thoughts clearly.
These engaging narratives provided a meaningful context for introducing
phonetic sounds from 'Aa' to 'Dd' supported by catchy phonics songs that
aligned with the themes of the stories. The learning experience was further
enriched through hands-on interaction with real-life objects, allowing children
to feel, repeat, and connect words to tangible items—strengthening their grasp
of early language concepts playfully and memorably.
Logical/Mathematical Intelligence
In the vibrant world of mathematics, children embarked on exciting adventures
to explore size, shapes, numbers, colors, and directions. Through hands-on
exploration, they discovered circles in everyday objects and even created their
circular wonders.
Engaging stories like ‘The Little Red Hen’ and ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ brought
mathematical concepts to life, helping children joyfully learn about numbers 1
and 2. They associated these numbers with familiar objects and actions,
deepening their understanding in a fun and relatable way. Vibrant colors like red
and yellow were brought to life with concrete objects and a magical box,
capturing their attention as they sorted and identified these hues.
Finally, children explored directionality through playful activities, such as
standing lines and tracing exercises, to understand vertical movements and the
concept of up and down. This lively and interactive environment sparked
curiosity, providing a strong foundation for their ongoing mathematical
exploration and growth.
Visual-Spatial:
Visual-spatial intelligence refers to the ability to imagine and visualize the
position, shape, and movement of objects, their spatial relationships with one
another. The children were engaged in fun and creative activities such as
creating Welcome Crafts, crafting for Mother’s Day, and completing coloring
worksheets centered on the pre-number concepts of big and small. It was a joy
to witness the children’s excitement as they crafted beautiful creations
themselves.
These activities were thoughtfully integrated with logical-mathematical and
verbal-linguistic intelligence, such as making a Dinosaur using handprints to
represent the letter 'D' and creating circular crafts to reinforce the concept
of the circle. Our little ones were amazed by the artwork they made with their
tiny thumbs and fingers, celebrating their creativity and growing skills.
Water-Play:
Water provides natural resistance, making play in the ‘splash pool’ a fun and
effective form of strength training for children. Moving their arms and legs
through water requires more muscle effort than in the air, helping children
build muscle strength and coordination. As they ventured into the water, they
also gained confidence. Alongside the physical activity, they were introduced to
important hygiene and safety guidelines, ensuring a safe and enjoyable
experience.
Musical Intelligence
"Music helps us learn, grow, and express ourselves. Every note is a new
adventure for our minds!"

Music plays a powerful role in expanding students' minds and boosting their
self-confidence. Through musical intelligence, teachers can enhance students'
memory, concentration, and overall academic performance.

Indian Music
Music activates neural pathways that support the development of various
essential skills. It also boosts creativity and enhances spatial intelligence.
This month, the children were introduced to the concept of ‘Sangeet 4
All’ and thoroughly enjoyed playing the ‘Swar Tarang’ instrument, which
enriched their joyful learning experience.
​Western Music
Music provides children with valuable challenges and multi-sensory experiences
that enhance their learning abilities and support cognitive development. It
actively engages key cognitive functions such as planning, working memory,
inhibition, and cognitive flexibility. Singing ‘God’s Love’ was a joyful experience
for the children, seamlessly aligning with the monthly theme’ Me, Myself’ to
nurture self-love and boost their confidence.
Interpersonal Intelligence
Birthday celebration- Show & Tell
Birthdays hold a special significance, which offers an opportunity to feel valued
and appreciate the love of those around them. In keeping with this spirit, the
'Show and Tell' birthday celebration took place on 16th May 2025. The theme
for the occasion was ‘Me and Myself’ and ‘Personal Hygiene.’
Children reviewed basic party etiquette and were encouraged to share a few
lines on the theme. With excitement, they presented their thoughts, supported
by creative props, making the celebration both fun and meaningful.
Montessori
The Montessori classroom functions as a miniature society, where children
cultivate essential life skills. They refined their fine motor skills, learning the
proper grip for holding a spoon, using the Montessori spooning apparatus. They
also explored their five senses—taste, touch, sight, hearing, and smell—through
a variety of objects like cardamom, perfume, a mirror, salt, and sugar.
Furthermore, the children identified red and yellow colours by working with
colour tablets, enhancing their colour recognition.
Drama
Expressions such as facial cues, body language, and voice modulation are vital
for children to understand and convey emotions in drama. Facial expressions
help them communicate feelings like happiness or surprise, while body
movements and gestures allow them to express actions and emotions physically.
Using the Emometer (or Mood-o-meter) is part of our ongoing efforts to
promote emotional literacy and mental well-being, helping children recognize
that all feelings are valid and that it’s okay to talk about them. our children
used the Emometer as a fun and interactive way to express how they were
feeling. Each child took a moment to reflect on their mood and then placed
themselves on the Emometer scale, choosing from a range of feelings such as
happy, excited, sad, tired, frustrated, or calm. This activity encouraged self-
awareness and emotional expression, while also helping educators and caregivers
better understand and support each child’s emotional needs throughout the day.
Story-telling
At Suncity, we believe in the theory of multiple intelligences, which fosters
different mental strengths and abilities in children. One of the most effective
ways to enhance these intelligences is through storytelling. Listening to stories
equips children with valuable life skills, all while providing hours of fun and
enjoyment.
In April, children were introduced to the delightful story of ‘Mouse Count.’
These stories were followed by thoughtful discussions and related questions
posed by the educator to encourage comprehension and critical thinking.
Following this, an exciting activity related to Mouse Count was held, where
children were engaged in hands-on counting activities to reinforce math skills in
a playful way.
In the month of May, children will continue their literary journey with the story
of ‘Dog’s Day Out’ and ‘छोटा सा मोटा सा लोटा’,
गाय महारानी , a fun tale designed to expand their
vocabulary and imaginative thinking. These stories were followed by thoughtful discussions and related questions posed by the educator to encourage comprehension and critical thinking.
Pottery
“Let's get our hands messy and make something special with clay!"
The children were inspired to engage with the tactile and responsive nature of
the clay, which encouraged exploration. As they worked to shape objects like an
apple, a ball, and a duck, linked to letters, they activated the creation of new
neurons and synapses in their brains. Some of their creations were further
shaped into a fly by the educator, adding an extra layer of creativity to their
learning experience.
Dance
When young children dance, they develop perseverance and self-motivation.
Dancing invites them to explore and experiment, helping them find creative
solutions to challenges. Children need to understand the value of trial-and-
error, learning that if they don’t succeed at first, they can always try again.
The children had a great time tapping their feet to the song, ”I promised to
love myself"
with their friends.
Bodily-Kinesthetic
Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence involves the ability to control and manipulate
objects while using physical skills, along with a sense of timing and developing
skills through the mind-body connection. The children practiced various physical
skills by jumping into hula hoops, rolling balls, balancing their bodies, and placing
balls into hoops.
They also worked on coordination and strength by dragging a
ball and a hula hoop from one spot to another, refining their motor skills and
physical awareness.
Our children had a wonderful time participating in the animal walk activities.
They were full of energy and excitement as they pretended to be animals,
moving in fun and creative ways. Animal walks are fun and help children develop
important physical skills like strength, coordination, balance, and flexibility.
They also encourage imagination and creativity, making the activities more
exciting for young learners.
​Imaginarium
Children look forward to being amidst the learning centres in the Imaginarium
to expand their horizons of imagination in different corners like the
Supermarket, Kitchen Area, Block Corner, and Grooming Station. These
diverse learning centres allowed them to indulge in open-ended activities and
hands-on material to aid learning through play, which involved the whole self.
Children enjoyed enacting and expressing their feelings in the learning centre.
Free Play:
Play is essential for building the foundation of lifelong learning. Through free
play, children experience learning as fun, spontaneous, and driven by their
curiosity. It offers a chance to relax, recharge, and express oneself freely.
Events and Celebrations
​
First day of school:

“Big smiles, tiny steps, and a world of new beginnings!”
The new academic year began on a truly heart-warming note as our Early Years

encouraged to speak to a trusted adult and learned about their “Safe Circle” --
people they can always turn to for help. The session aimed to empower children
to stay safe, strong, and confident.
Project UPAHAAR - Labour Day celebration:
The children celebrated Labour Day with immense enthusiasm, spreading joy by
offering small treats such as chips, cookies, and juices to the labourers. This
thoughtful gesture made the workers feel appreciated and valued on this special
day. Through this act of kindness, the children learned the joy of giving and the
significance of recognizing hard work and dedication.
Session on Dental Hygiene:
Through a fun and informative session at school, our little learners learned the
importance of maintaining good dental hygiene. The session taught them how
essential it is to take care of their teeth and showed the proper way to brush
them. One of the highlights was an engaging story, 'Benny the Bear and His Tooth Nightmare' which made the lesson even more enjoyable and memorable. From the story, they understood that practicing good oral hygiene every day is key to keeping their teeth healthy and strong. It was an insightful experience that motivated them to take better care of their smile!

through grace and emotion. The event featured a touching performance by
educators, a meaningful address by Principal Ms. Jayshree Patel, and thoughtful
reflections by EYP Head Ms. Bhawna Singh. Mothers arrived in their mothers’
favourite attire, adding emotional depth to the celebration. Highlights included
a joyful mother-child ramp walk, creative bonding activities like bracelet-making
and “WOW MOM” art, and the gifting of handmade mementos by children. It
was a beautiful celebration of love, gratitude, and the timeless bond between
mothers and their children.
Excursion- Visit to Panchgaon: Proudly Desi
The children embarked on an educational excursion to Panchgaon restaurant to
grasp the nuances of proper conduct during outings. They received instruction
on courteous greetings and maintaining decorum throughout the meal. Guidance
was provided on utilizing napkins and cutlery to dine with refinement. These
lessons in social grace and table etiquette were well-received. It was a
memorable trip that enhanced their social skills and gave them lasting memories
to cherish.

 ​Dear Parent(s)
Greetings!
Transition is an inevitable and natural part of life. As our youngest learners prepare to step into the next class, it's essential to reinforce the knowledge they've gained. Here’s a glimpse of the vast activities that helped our children revisit and strengthen their learning.
Let’s take a closer look at the wonderful month of March!
Recapitulation: Me, Myself & Animal World
Children learned to introduce themselves, greet others, and explore the school environment while understanding its norms. They discussed their likes, dislikes, body parts, family, and friendship, building self-awareness and communication skills.
Through the Animal World theme, the children explored pet, farm, and wild animals, their homes, and young ones. They had fun mimicking animal movements, sounds and singing rhymes, making learning engaging and joyful.
 ​Naturalistic Intelligence
Our little ones have been sensitized to growing up and moving on to a new class.
The educator gently guided them to reflect on this transition, encouraging them to express their feelings about moving forward. Some children shared their excitement, while others expressed a bit of nervousness — but just like the mouse found courage in helping the lion, our young learners discovered that they had the strength and confidence to embrace this new chapter with open hearts and bright smiles.
 ​Verbal Linguistic Intelligence
In the Lion and the Mouse story, where the tiny mouse’s help taught the mighty lion the value of even the tiniest efforts, our little learners have shown that every step in learning matters.
In class, the children revisited letters 'Aa' to 'Zz' along with their phonic sounds and related words, reinforcing their knowledge with confidence. They also enjoyed singing lively rhymes like Mr. Sun, It's Raining, It's Pouring, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Old MacDonald Had a Farm, and Wheels on the Bus.
Much like how the mouse’s courage and cleverness made a big difference, our young ones have grown into confident storytellers, enthusiastically narrating stories with picture books. Their growing confidence reminds us that even small achievements can lead to great success!
 ​Logical Mathematical
As in The Lion and the Mouse, where the clever mouse used quick thinking to help the mighty lion, our little learners have sharpened their logical and mathematical skills with confidence and creativity.
The children revisited number concepts through oral counting from numbers 1 to 20 and strengthened their recognition and quantification of numbers from 1 to 10. They also explored patterns like loops and spirals, revisiting colours and shapes like squares, rectangles, and triangles.
Much like how the mouse’s cleverness saved the lion, our young ones have discovered that understanding patterns and numbers can help them solve problems and think critically — showing that even small steps in learning can lead to big achievements!
 ​Visual Spatial:
The children enhanced their aesthetic sense by creating a vibrant Holi handcraft, which also helped improve their finger dexterity and fine motor skills. They took great pride in making Graduation Day crafts, coloring themed worksheets, and drawing self-portraits by carefully adding facial features.
 ​Musical Intelligence
“He who sings frightens away his ills.” – Miguel De Cervantes
Music helps students expand their minds and increase their self-confidence. It serves a greater purpose in our lives than simply providing amusement
Indian Music
Indian classical music helps create a deep spiritual connection, allowing our little ones to stay rooted in Indian culture.
This month, the educator introduced the children to the rich world of Indian classical music through the following songs and practices:
  • Vocal warm-up
  • Sa, re, ga, ma hand movements
  • Balloon breathing
  • Rhythm clapping
  • Sa re ga ma body game
  • To enjoy the spirit of ‘Holi’, a beautiful mythological story ‘होली ‘was introduced.
Children were captivated by the rhythm of music as they learnt a new way of expressing themselves through music.
 ​Western Music:
Early exposure to music boosts emotional and thinking skills. This month, the children explored the keyboard with their educator. Through this hands-on experience, they improved their emotional expression, thinking abilities, and creativity while enjoying the joy of music.
 
 ​Interpersonal Intelligence
Birthday celebration- Show & Tell
We celebrated the birthdays of children born in March with the theme ‘My Memory Lane.’ The children practiced basic party etiquette and were encouraged to speak a few lines about their favourite theme through a ‘Show and Tell’ activity. Dressed in coordinated outfits and props, they confidently shared their best memories with their friends and teachers.
 ​Montessori
Montessori activities help children blend independence with skill development, fostering confidence and coordination.
Our little ones enhanced their motor control, coordination, concentration, and sense of responsibility. They practiced essential life skills like buttoning and unbuttoning and explored colour recognition with the Colour Tablets.
 ​Drama
The children enjoyed the 'Train Your Brain' activity in the drama sessions. During this activity, they introduced themselves while moving their fingers. This fun exercise helped improve their coordination, focus, and self-expression.
 ​Pottery
Pottery helps children blend creativity with focus, building both confidence and resilience.
This month, the children explored the art of pottery by sculpting various shapes, such as a dog, rectangle, square, and circle, as a reinforcement activity. Pottery nurtures their creativity, boosts imagination, enhances self-confidence, and promotes social skills through cooperative play.
  
Dance
“Dance is the hidden language of the soul.”- Martha Graham
Dance is a fun physical activity that also helps improve social skills. This month, the children enjoyed learning the dance steps to the song "Wakka Wakka." Through dance, they learned the importance of trust, cooperation, and teamwork while having fun and staying active.
​
 ​Bodily Kinaesthetic Intelligence
This month, the sports educator guided the children through various exercises such as side twists, front raises, knee ups, upper body rotation, knee balance, jumping jacks, body coordination, and balancing sideways. They also had fun playing tag games and trying out kangaroo jumps. These activities have strengthened the children’s bones, muscles, hearts, and lungs while improving their coordination, balance, posture, and flexibility — helping them grow stronger and more confident everyday!
 ​Imaginarium
Imaginarium is a place where children can ignite their imagination. Our little ‘Suncitizens’ explored various stations such as the ‘Kitchen Station, Supermarket Station’, ‘Lego Station’, and the ‘Transport Station.’ They also explored sensory tables wherein they differentiated the rough and smooth objects. They also enjoyed making a house using different shapes in the ‘Imaginarium Lab.’
 ​EYP Playtime
Play builds the foundation for a lifetime of learning. Free play makes learning fun, natural, and self-driven. With this aim in mind, children indulge in and rejuvenate themselves during free play.
 ​Events and Celebrations
Oorja
Suncity School-37D held OORJA 3.0, the Annual Sports Meet for Foundation Years (EYP to Grade II), on Saturday, March 1, 2025, with great energy.

"Jolly January & Fabulous February"

3/3/2025

0 Comments

 
​Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much ~ Helen Keller
That’s a truly inspiring mission! Suncity’s approach to education resonates with many powerful philosophies, and it’s wonderful to see a focus on holistic development. The impact of nurturing young minds extends far beyond individual achievements; it shapes the future of our society.
It sounds like January and February have been eventful months! Here are some highlights or key moments from these months at Suncity.

Theme – Transport and Community helpers
​

Transportation is a topic that children grasp naturally, especially through their personal experiences commuting to places like school. In the enchanting tale of "Willow's Wonderful Wagon Adventure," the children explored various types of transportation like Willow. They discussed the unique characteristics of land, water, and air transport, reflecting on Willow's journey through different terrains. Along the way, they also learned about the importance of safety measures while traveling and became aware of the need to use different modes of transport wisely to reduce pollution, just as Willow did on her eco-friendly adventure.
The theme for February was ‘Community Helpers’ and the children were sensitized on the importance of community helpers in our lives. Community helpers play a very important role in keeping the community safe and healthy. The educator introduced various community helpers such as doctors, nurses, teachers, policemen, cobblers, etc., and discussed the job performed by them to ensure that the community functions more productively. The children were also made aware of the tools and instruments used by various community helpers and they enthusiastically discussed the chores done by various community helpers.

Naturalistic
​

​Children were taken for a walk, where they discussed the benefits of walking for good health and engaged in an activity about eco-friendly transport. Drawing inspiration from "Willow's Wonderful Wagon Adventure," they explored the importance of using environmentally friendly modes of transport.
Our young learners were also sensitized to the vital role of community helpers in their lives. Through a video demonstration, they grasped the significance of the work done by community helpers and the importance of being thankful. As a meaningful gesture, they created 'Thank You' cards to express their gratitude towards these everyday heroes, just as Willow might have done on her adventure.

Verbal Linguistic

​Linguistic skills measure the capacity of individuals to understand and express themselves, both in written and oral form. Children loved talking about the mode of transport used by them to commute to school, malls, supermarkets, friends' or relatives' places. They were elated to share the colours of their cars and incidents related to their parents' driving. It was enthralling to see this kind of enthusiasm at such an early age. The children enjoyed reciting rhymes like ‘Wheels of the bus’, ‘Ek Chhoti Kashti’, ‘Airplanes’ 'Wind the bobbin' up, 'Chop chop', and 'Cobbler, cobbler mend my Shoe'. They loved listening to the stories 'Peppa Pig – when I grow up'. The children also learnt the phonic sound and words related to the letters ‘Ww’ ‘Xx’ ‘Yy’ and ‘Zz’ and recapitulated letters from “Aa to Zz” through audio-visuals, stories, real objects and practice sheets.

Logical-Mathematical
​

Our little ones have blossomed into active thinkers, using imagery as part of their thought process. They have started to relate numbers to the world around them. While discussing the number of tyres, windows, doors, and lights on various modes of transport, children worked with numbers and the concept of size. Through the enchanting story of "Willow's Wonderful Wagon Adventure," they were introduced to the concept of ‘far and near’. Children were also introduced to the numbers ‘9’ and ‘10’ along with their quantification. The colour ‘Black’ was introduced through a variety of concrete objects. The children enjoyed recapping numbers from 1 to 10 and orally counted from 1 to 20 through a number rhyme. They also practiced tracing the ‘Loop’ pattern using chalk and later using crayons in their logical/mathematical workbooks.

Visual-Spatial
​

​Creativity is expressing one’s ideas, trying new things, and experimenting with changing materials. The children loved making toy cars using tissue rolls (waste material) and also enjoyed making traffic lights using Nutella and gems.
They enjoyed designing a pair of shoes and decorating them creatively. An array of activities like 'Chef Craft', and ‘Electrician's Tool Belt’ were designed to give them hands-on learning of the roles played by various community helpers.

Musical Intelligence
 
​

"The Universal Language of Music" "
As Robert G. Ingersoll said, "Music expresses feelings and thoughts, without language; it was below and before speech, and it is above and beyond all words." Music speaks to us in a way that words cannot, connecting emotions and ideas across all boundaries.
Indian Music
  • Children, along with the educator, participated in ‘Vocal warm-up exercises.
  • Children along with the educator enjoyed singing the following songs:
  • Welcome song, ‘आओ आओ संगीत बनाएं’
  • Rhythm clapping
  • ‘गिनती’ song
  • सरस्वती वंदना
 
 
 
​

Western Music
This month, children along with the educator, enjoyed singing a melodious song, ’Aeroplane Aeroplane’. They also learnt the instrument name clap box.

Montessori
​

​The Montessori classroom is a mini-society in which the child can develop all characteristics. Our little ones explored the cognitive domain by practicing ‘Spindle Box’ and the domain of practical life exercises through ‘Spooning’.

Drama

​"Up, Up, and Away: Kids Enacting a Hot Air Balloon Adventure"
As the kids took their places, ready to embark on their imaginative hot-air balloon ride, excitement buzzed in the air. The scene began with a flurry of energetic voices, each child embracing their role in this whimsical adventure. Here’s a glimpse into the world they created:
floating from place to place, seeing everything from above—the mountains, the oceans, the cities. The world would be so much more exciting from this view!"
The children's voices blended with laughter and awe, each moment of their pretend journey bringing discoveries and challenges. Their imaginations soared as high as the balloon they imagined, and for a few moments, they truly felt like they were flying. Through their eyes, the world was a smaller, brighter, and more thrilling place.

Clay Modelling
​

​Children felt motivated to explore the inviting soft and responsive sensory qualities of clay. Many new neurons and synapses in the brain were generated when children made pre-writing patterns-loop, egg -yolk, and Apple trees. Some of the shapes made by them were given a final shape as a fly by the educator.

Dance 
​

“Dance is a language of the emotions.”
Dance is a fun and effective way to keep the body and mind healthy. Recently, children learned the steps to "Satyamev Jayate," strengthening their coordination, balance, and confidence. Beyond physical benefits, dancing helped them develop emotionally, socially, and cognitively, while also fostering teamwork and self-expression. Dance proves to be not only an excellent exercise but also a wonderful way to grow and connect with others.

Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence
​

Physical education is key to developing students’ competence and confidence. These programs are designed to help children improve a wide range of skills and allow them to apply tactics, strategies, and creative ideas to enhance their performance.
This month, the children enjoyed a fun-filled time participating in various activities, where they put their skills into action while having a great experience.
Oorja drill practice
  • Cone, hop, and tumble
  • Stick and count sprint

Imaginarium
​

Children looked forward to being amidst the learning centres in the Imaginarium. These diverse learning centres allowed them to indulge in open-ended activities and hands-on material to aid in learning in the form of play which involved the whole self. The attraction of the month was the ‘Transport Play Corner’ wherein children played with an array of modes of land transport. They were also shown and explained the road symbols and the significance of following them

Eyp Play Area

The play area is a vibrant space that promotes children's growth and development, offering teachers an ideal setting to guide learning. Through play, children explore their surroundings, develop communication skills, spark their imaginations, and engage with new experiences. This interactive environment encourages curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning, providing countless opportunities for discovery. It’s a space where children can experiment, solve problems, and express themselves—all while having fun. The play area fosters wonder and playfulness, building essential skills and nurturing a lifelong passion for learning.

Storytelling

Through stories, we find common ground, empathy, and understanding. Whether
sharing personal anecdotes or working as a team to promote a business,
storytelling allows us to step into someone else’s shoes and experience the
world from a different perspective.
In January, children listened to The Tiger Goes Wild, followed by Mouse Paint,
which vividly explained the difference between primary and secondary colors. In
In February, the concept of color segregation was reinforced through a drawing
and coloring activity.
The following week, children were introduced to a story about various
habitats—land, pond, burrow, and forest.

​Theme – ​Winter Season
Winter feels like a grand celebration, and our little ones couldn’t be more thrilled, even with the chilly weather! We’ve begun exploring the fascinating theme of the Winter Season and Christmas, transforming our learning moments into a mix of fun and discovery.
Our discussions have covered what makes winter special, how to stay cozy, and the types of clothes we wear to keep warm. We also took a tasty trip into the world of winter fruits and vegetables, with the children enthusiastically sharing their favourites. Christmas vocabulary has been a big hit, alongside exciting conversations about how people celebrate Christmas and New Year. The kids were eager to talk about their family traditions and experiences. Winter isn’t just about bundling up—it’s about celebrating, sharing, and learning together. The joy and excitement of our little ones make this theme a vibrant and memorable part of our journey! Following stories were taken in the month of December - Four Seasons of the Forest and Snow white and the seven dwarfs.
Naturalistic
Children were introduced to essential concepts promoting their overall well-being through engaging discussions:
1. Personal Hygiene: They learned the importance of cleanliness and how maintaining hygiene keeps us healthy and safe daily.
2. Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3): The teacher explained the significance of good health and encouraged practices like eating nutritious foods and staying physically active to lead a healthy lifestyle.
3. Self-care, Sharing, and Caring for Others: Through meaningful discussions, the children discovered the value of caring for themselves while showing kindness and support to others. The teacher emphasized that the world is like one big family, where love, cooperation, and affection are vital for harmonious living, and fostering a sense of connection with people and the environment.
Verbal Linguistic
Listening and learning complement each other seamlessly. Our young learners have demonstrated patience and confidence in articulating their thoughts on various topics. They thoroughly enjoyed reciting theme-based rhymes such as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Dashing Through the Snow. A strong emphasis was placed on recognizing and identifying the letters Tt, Uu, and Vv through engaging Jolly Phonics songs, paired with activities focused on naming words that begin with these sounds. The children were captivated by stories such as Four Seasons of the Forest and those related to the letter V. These stories served as effective tools for instilling ethics and values. Additionally, the class actively practiced and reinforced essential social etiquette, including positive communication, taking turns, speaking politely, and refraining from interrupting conversations. These activities fostered a sense of respect, patience, and collaboration among the children.
Logical/Mathematical
Our little ones explored their logical and mathematical intelligence by engaging with patterns such as hopping, standing, and wavy lines. They excitedly traced these patterns in their workbooks, enhancing their motor skills and pattern recognition. Adding a touch of magic, we introduced the timeless story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The children connected the story’s enchanting forest scenes to the four seasons—spring’s blooming flowers, summer’s vibrant hues, autumn’s golden leaves, and winter’s snowy wonderland. As we introduced the colour white, the children had fun identifying white objects like cotton, radishes, snow, and teeth. The character of Snow White made learning about this colour even more engaging. A special highlight was introducing the number 8. The children discovered its unique shape, practiced writing it, and linked it to real-life examples like spider legs and the infinity symbol. They also proudly recalled numbers from 1 to 7, inspired by the seven dwarfs, and expanded their counting skills by practicing numbers up to 20. This delightful mix of patterns, numbers, colours, and seasons, tied together with a beloved story, made learning a joyful and imaginative experience for our curious minds.
 
Visual Spatial
Visual-spatial intelligence is the ability to mentally picture the arrangement and shape of objects, understand their spatial relationships, and visualize how they move or change position in space. It involves perceiving the world in three dimensions and being able to manipulate or transform those images mentally to create new spatial configurations. In December, the children engaged in a variety of fun and educational crafts. They created a truck craft, focusing on the letter "T," helping them reinforce letter recognition while enjoying their creative process. They also worked on a winter-themed worksheet, colouring fruits associated with the season, which allowed them to explore winter’s unique offerings. For number recognition, the children crafted spiders, using eight legs to represent the number 8, making math hands-on and visual. To celebrate the festive season, they also worked on Christmas-themed crafts, bringing holiday cheer into the classroom. These activities not only nurtured their creativity and fine motor skills but also supported early literacy, numeracy, and seasonal awareness enjoyably and engagingly.

​
​​Drama
In December, children eagerly listened to heartwarming Christmas stories centred on the spirit of sharing. Tales of generosity, kindness, and selflessness filled the air, teaching young hearts the true meaning of the season. From the story of the wise men bringing gifts to the kindness of Santa's elves, each story emphasizes the joy found in giving and the importance of spreading love and happiness to others during the holidays.
Montessori
In the Montessori environment, practical life activities serve as children’s initial introduction to hands-on learning. In October, the children engaged in:
  • Colour Tablet Box (Sensorial Activity): Designed to develop their ability to discriminate between different colours.
  • Spindle Box: Used to help them understand and quantify numbers.
  • Touch Tablet: Provided a tactile experience to explore the textures of smooth and rough surfaces.
 
​Storytelling
Stories bring facts to life and promote brain development and imagination in children. They contribute to language development, and emotional understanding, and help strengthen relationships. The week began with a story “I didn’t do it” to teach children the importance of accepting mistakes and working on them followed by a sorting activity worksheet comprising the right and the wrong acts. During the third week, “Happy Birthday Moon” was taken to enhance the imagination skills of the children followed by a moon card-making activity in the last week.
​Pottery
Engaging in clay activities is an excellent way for children to develop fine motor skills by improving finger control and dexterity. This month, the children enthusiastically explored creating standing and sleeping wavy lines, as well as various shapes such as circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles using clay. Their creativity extended further as they crafted additional unique and imaginative creations, showcasing their growing skills and artistic expression.
Dance
"Move, groove, and express yourself—dance is the rhythm of life in every step you take!"
In December, children danced joyfully to the festive “Christmas Song”. The lively activity brought them together, encouraging self-expression and coordination. With bright smiles and energetic movements, they embraced the holiday spirit, enjoying the rhythm and excitement of the season. It was a fun and festive way to foster creativity and teamwork among the children.
​Bodily Kinaesthetic Intelligence
​Bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence is the ability to manipulate objects and utilize various physical skills, involving a sense of timing and the refinement of skills through the mind-body connection. In December, children had a great time practicing basic coordination skills using cones and sticks. The activities were designed to be fun and engaging, incorporating simple warm-up exercises that encouraged movement and balance. Team-building was a key focus, helping the little ones develop social skills while working together. The playful games allowed children to practice following instructions, sharing, and collaborating with their peers. It was a joyful and active way to promote physical and social development in a supportive environment.
Imaginarium
Imaginarium is a wonderland where children can unleash their creativity. Our young Suncitizens had fun exploring different interactive stations, including the Kitchen Station, Supermarket Station, Lego Station, and Transport Station. They also enjoyed hands-on activities at sensory tables, where they explored the textures of rough and smooth objects. In the Imaginarium Lab, the children used various shapes to build houses, sparking their imagination and problem-solving abilities.
EYP - Play Area
The play area serves as a dynamic learning environment, offering teachers an ideal space to support children's growth and development. Through play, children explore the world around them, build communication skills, engage their imaginations, and navigate new experiences. This open, interactive setting encourages curiosity and creativity, providing endless opportunities for discovery and hands-on learning. It is a place where children can experiment, solve problems, and express themselves, all while having fun. The play area fosters a sense of wonder and playfulness, laying the foundation for essential skills and nurturing a lifelong love of learning.

EYP 2C Assembly on Christmas

​The Christmas assembly conducted by EYP 2C was a delightful celebration filled with joy, laughter, and festive spirit. The students presented a lively skit narrating the story of Christmas, including the life of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of generosity and kindness, inspiring everyone to embrace the joy of giving.
The celebration also highlighted the school’s special initiative, Project UPAHAAR, where students contributed gifts and essentials to spread happiness among the less fortunate. This act of kindness aligned perfectly with the theme of the season, reinforcing the importance of sharing and caring.
