A Visit to a Ganesh pandal
The learners were taken to visit a nearby Ganesh Pandal. They understood the significance of this
festival.. While many of the learners enjoyed the sound and light effects, some of them were taken
aback by the same as they had never seen such a show of lights. Overall, it was a visual treat.
Navratri with Grandparents
It was a special day for the grandparents of the pre primary learners as they were invited to
attend a Navratri function arranged specially for them. The learners had the day off and only
reported to school along with their grandparents for the garbha. The teachers were delighted
to see the little ones dressed in traditional attire. The program began with a welcome speech
given by a learner. Each class performed a song prepared for the occasion. The grandparents
enjoyed the evening as there were plenty of games, prizes, refreshments and of course the
garbha. They were also touched when they each received a card prepared by their
grandchild.
Neighbourhood Walk
The teachers of Senior Kg came up with a well-thought out plan of connecting class room learning to the outside world. On
the 24th of August the learners were taken on a bus trip around the neighbourhood. They were asked to observe shops,
restaurants, the fire station, the police station, telephone exchange, etc. It was fun and exciting, and the learners also learned
about their neighbourhood. The trip ended with a discussion on the importance of these places in our community.
Rhymes Day
The learners got a chance to display their poetry recitation skills when
they performed for their parents on Rhymes Day. The confidence of
the children was boosted when they saw their parents smiling and
cheering them while they performed. Their basic costumes and props
enhanced their performance. The parents beamed with pride to see
their young ones put up a marvelous performance.
Profession Day
The choice of careers has increased manifold in the past couple of years. Hence, a small event based on
various professions was held to enhance the learner's knowledge about them. All the learners were dressed
in attire representing their occupation. The parents took the effort to help the learners speak a few lines
about their respective occupations. The speeches given by individual learners generated a lot of questions
and discussions in class. The whole event turned out to be enjoyable as well as educational.
