Annual Theme - Nurture nature Naturalistic intelligence was practiced in its best way by our tiny green hands on ‘Earth Day’ when they planted a sapling in the school premises. Our naturalists went for nature walks to see, feel and touch flowers and leaves & relate well to their natural surroundings. Children visited the vegetable garden where they saw ladyfinger, mint and cucumber. They also watered the plants. They cleaned their own footwear and learnt the appropriate way to wash hands to stay hygienic. Interpersonal Intelligence Birthday celebrations Celebration sparks joy and joy facilitates learning. The greatest lessons in life are learnt through what is repeatedly emphasized in our lives. So, we celebrated the birthdays of children born in the month of April and May with different themes- ‘My Favourite Family Member’ and ‘Beat the Heat’. They were dressed as per the theme and shared their thoughts with their friends while waiting for their turn. Children learnt the etiquettes to behave in a social gathering. Community eating on everyday basis has been done by adhering to social etiquettes. They watched the movie, ‘101 Dalmatians’ in a group. Verbal linguistic Intelligence Listening being the foremost skill to attain learning was well reinforced time and again through games, rhymes and discussions. Their imagination and attention span expanded through stories. It laid the foundation for children to listen, comprehend and then speak. They were introduced to the phonic sounds of letters from ‘a to d’ through 'Phonic songs'. An array of concrete objects were shown to children where they felt the objects and repeated the words along with the educator. Logical / Mathematical Intelligence Observation and retention are two of the important skills for children. Children and educators dressed up in ‘red’ and ‘yellow’ clothes on respective days to understand the concept of these two colours. They were exposed to a plethora of learning equipment and activities to activate visual thinking skills. After the concrete experiences, they used their retention power to exhibit the understanding related to the concept of numbers till 2, ‘Concept of big & small’ and ‘Circle’. Best example of integrated approach was evident in the ‘Math week’ which was conducted in the last week before the summer break. Recapitulation of above mentioned concepts were done through bodily kinesthetic, visual/spatial, verbal linguistic intelligences. Bodily kinesthetic Running and jumping by our little ones using their tiny toes is also a great achievement. Running to short distances with precision and speed was demonstrated and encouraged well by our physical education educators. They used movement to help children acquire knowledge about themselves, their physical and mental abilities and conducted a number of activities wherein the children practiced kicking a ball, passing a ball, running and jumping on the ladder. Children learnt to perform actions in a sequential manner. Aqua Fun Water adds resistance, so water play in the ‘splash pool’ worked as strength training for children. It takes more muscle strength to move arms and legs through water then it does through air. Children strengthened muscle coordination and gained confidence to enter into a water body. They were apprised of the essentials related to hygiene and safety. 'What flight is to a bird, play is to a child'. We give opportunities to our children to indulge in free play. Events EYP assemblies Our group of cuties have been the keen spectators to the assemblies performed by all sections of Nursery and Kindergarten. They gradually learnt the way to adhere to a certain decorum and sit and stand in appropriate ways. Also, they were actively engaged in the action songs performed in the assemblies for ‘International Dance Day’, ‘Mother’s Day’ and ‘Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence’. Excursion The way everything ‘first’ in our lives is special to us. Similarly, the first excursion of our little ones to ‘Skyjumper Trampoline Park’ was a joyful experience. They acquired confidence in stepping out of the known to an unknown zone. Children experienced a variety of gross motor skills such as jumping, sliding, flying in a playful manner. Community Outreach- Project 'Uphaar'
'Joy of giving' was well instilled in the early years of learning on the occasion of 'Labour Day'. Our tiny fellow beings expressed gratitude towards didi's and bhaiya's of school by giving them chocolates.
