Theme- Transport Transportation is one of the topics which children learn most naturally. Having their own tricycles or bicycles to explore neighbourhood is great fun for them. Depending on where they live and how they commute to nearby places including their school, our little ones got a chance to experience the different types of transportation available. Children discussed about the characteristics of all the modes of transport- land, water and air. Children were briefed about the modes of land transport which run on fuel and the ones which are led by human beings or animals. Awareness about safety measures which needs to be adopted while travelling, was imparted to children. They were also sensitised towards using the modes of transport judiciously to avoid pollution. Verbal Linguistic Learning languages help children build their cognitive skills and expand the vocabulary bank. Children loved talking about the mode of transport used by them to commute till school, malls, super-markets, friends or relatives place. They were elated to share the colours of their cars and incidents related to their parents driving. They loved reciting theme related rhymes such as ‘Wheels of the bus’, ‘Ek Chhoti Kashti’, ‘Airplanes’ etc. and jolly phonics songs for letters- W w, X x and Y y. Identification of these letters was also stressed upon along with words which begin with these beginning sounds. Children also attempted the worksheets related to the mentioned letters in the verbal linguistic workbook. Recapitulation of jolly phonics songs and identification of letters from ‘a to v’ was also covered after the long winter break. Logical/Mathematical Logical-mathematical intelligence consists of many factors related to the analytical, synthetic and integration functioning of the mind. When developed well, the person becomes a divergent thinker. Children worked with numbers and concept of size while discussing about the number of tyres, windows, doors, lights etc. in relation to the modes of transport. Children were acquainted with the concept of ‘far and near’ through a short story and various objects such as stick puppets, toy vehicles blocks etc. Children were introduced to the number ‘9’ and they enjoyed counting 9 using cups and airplanes made out of paper folding. They also practiced tracing the ‘U’ pattern using chalks and later using crayons in the logical/mathematical workbook. Bodily kinaesthetic Bodily kinaesthetic intelligence was displayed by children by reacting very well to the physical stimulus. Their bodies developed flexibility and agility while practicing gross motor skills through games such as jumping on clouds while pretending to be an airplane; bending forward, twisting the waist, stretching and clapping through PT drills; marching like soldiers to practice coordination of gross muscles; running to sort the modes of transport. To enhance dexterity in fine muscles, children created a car, traffic light, yo-yo, hot air balloon and attempted cotton dabbing on their favourite mode of transport. Naturalistic Children understood the importance of keeping the water bodies clean while using modes of water transport through an activity of taking out waste material to leave the boats in clean water. They reused the toilet roll and cardboard to create a car. Children were taken for a walk and benefits of walking for good health were discussed with them. Children also visited the compost pit to put peels of fruits and dry leaves. Interpersonal Birthday celebration The theme for this birthday party was pretty stirring for children. They carried the prop of their favourite mode of transport. Children loved showing the movement of their prop and expressed their views about it. Birthday cards were given to the children who had their birthdays in the month of January. The educator briefed them about Do’s and Don’ts of how to behave at a birthday party. The usage of magic words, please, thank you, sorry and excuse me were recapitulated. Meal Time Children have begun to consume all the food items and fruits served to them. They understood the importance of finishing the portion served to them. It was an interesting sight to see teaching each other, eating with mouth closed. They have acquired the correct grip over cutlery to a great extent and eat without spilling food. They continued following daily-living skills such as laying mats and wearing aprons, keeping their dishes in the trolley after the meals, wiping their faces. They also kept their aprons appropriately in the classroom after the meals. Co scholastic Domains Montessori The Montessori classroom is a mini-society in which the child can develop all characteristics. Our little ones explored the language domain by recapitulating the tracing of sandpaper letters from ‘a to v’, cognitive domain by practicing ‘Pink Tower’, ‘Spindle Box’ and domain of practical life exercises through ‘Spooning’, ‘Wet and dry pouring’, ‘Folding a handkerchief’. Tab kids Children played ‘Peek-a-boo’ on means of transport and also matched the similar images of modes of land transport. Imaginarium Children looked forward to be 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 to the 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. Dance Practice for Annual day. Events Parent assembly by KG C The children of KG-C presented a mesmerizing assembly on the animal’s kingdom. They were dressed beautifully as various wild animals. They showcased the importance of maintaining balance between the living and non-living things in the ecosystem. They gave all of us a beautiful message of making this world a happy place and by taking a pledge to protect our planet and to be more sensitive towards the animals. Assembly on Basant Panchmi
It is believed that the Goddess Saraswati imparts the greatest wealth to human beings i.e., Knowledge. Children of KG B looked vibrant in yellow colour clothes and sang saraswati vandana to pray to the Goddess on this day to acquire Knowledge and ask to remove the Darkness of Mind and to bless them with the Eternal Knowledge. Diya was lit and flowers were offered to Goddess Saraswati by our principal, Ms. Guneet Ohri. She also explained to the children the importance of wearing yellow colour on this auspicious day. Children of KG B presented self-composed story booklets to didis and willingly took an initiative to impart learning to them especially to speak in English language.
