Drama offers young learners a joyful space to express themselves, build confidence, and explore emotions through movement and play. In October, our children engaged in activities that helped them connect with their feelings and understand those of others.
During a lively circle time, children got to know their friends better by sharing names, favourite things, and playful greetings. They practised a range of facial expressions — happy, sad, angry, excited, and confused — using mirrors, role-play, and storytelling. This helped them recognise emotions and express them with clarity and empathy.
The energetic ‘Move and Freeze’ game added excitement to the session, encouraging children to move freely and then freeze in expressive poses. This playful activity enhanced their body control, listening skills, and emotional awareness.
Children also explored “My Outer Self” by using body movements to show emotions like happiness and anger. They stretched their arms wide to show joy, stomped gently to express frustration, and used gestures to communicate feelings without words. These exercises nurtured self-expression, emotional intelligence, and creative thinking.
Through drama, our young learners discovered that feelings can be shared, understood, and celebrated — all while having fun together.

Storytelling

​Stories open a window to wonder, sparking imagination, enhancing listening skills, and building a lasting love for reading in young children. In the early years, storytelling weaves magic into learning—taking children on exciting journeys into new worlds while making every experience joyful and meaningful.

These meaningful musical engagements enriched their learning journey and encouraged a deeper curiosity and love for rhythm and sound.

Show and Tell ​

We celebrated the birthdays of our August-born children with great joy and cheer. To make the day even more special, the children participated in a Show and Tell on “Land Transport.” They spoke confidently about different vehicles, shared their knowledge and fun facts, and listened to each other with excitement. Along the way, they also practiced good manners and enjoyed the spirit of celebrating together. It was truly a happy and memorable day for all!

Montessori ​

​Montessori education nurtures independence, coordination, and concentration in young learners through carefully designed activities. In August, our EYP 2 children engaged with a range of Montessori materials that supported the development of both fine motor skills and self-reliance.
Wet Pouring: Through the activity of pouring water from one container to another, children refined their hand–eye coordination and control of movement. This exercise also encouraged independence and responsibility as they carefully managed the flow without spilling.
Pegging and Unpegging: Using small pegs, children practiced gripping and releasing, which strengthened their finger muscles and improved dexterity. This activity laid the foundation for writing readiness while also fostering patience and focus.
Sorting Stones and Pom Poms with a Tong: Children enjoyed sorting objects using tongs, an engaging way to build precision, concentration, and fine motor control. Sorting by size, color, or texture also encouraged logical thinking and classification skills.
Pink Tower: A classic Montessori material, the Pink Tower introduced children to concepts of size, order, and balance. By stacking cubes from largest to smallest, children developed spatial awareness, visual discrimination, and problem-solving skills.
These Montessori activities not only strengthened essential motor and cognitive skills but also instilled a growing sense of independence and confidence in our young learners, making them active participants in their own learning journey.

Drama

​Drama serves as a joyful way for children to express their imagination while developing confidence, creativity, and coordination. It allows them to communicate ideas through movement, gestures, and role-play. In August, the EYP 2 children explored the theme of modes of transport through expressive body movements and gestures. They pretended to be cars zooming on the road, trains chugging along the tracks, airplanes flying high in the sky, and boats gently sailing on the water. Each mode of transport was brought alive with actions such as stretching their arms like wings, moving in rhythmic steps like wheels, or swaying side to side like waves. The children thoroughly enjoyed dramatizing these movements, which not only enhanced their motor skills but also encouraged teamwork and creativity. This engaging session allowed them to connect learning with play while expressing themselves freely through drama.

Pottery ​

Pottery has a magical way of calming spirited minds while nurturing resilience and teamwork. During our creative sessions, the children molded imaginative items—a ladder, a झाड़ू, and a टोकरी—as part of a fun reinforcement activity. They also brushed, painted, and decorated the मटकी, enriching the experience with the festive spirit of Janmashtami.

Dance

​With every graceful step and joyful twirl, our little dancers bring their dreams to life through movement. Dance plays a vital role in early childhood development, helping young learners build coordination, balance, and essential motor skills. It also nurtures creativity and self-expression, allowing children to explore their emotions and imagination. Additionally, dance fosters social interaction and teamwork as children learn to move harmoniously and perform together.
In August, the children of EYP 2 enthusiastically choreographed the ‘Patriotic Mashup’ and ‘Diwali Aayi’ songs, celebrating the spirit of unity and festivity through rhythm and movement.

Bodily-Kinaesthetic ​

​Bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence is the ability to control and coordinate physical movements and handle objects with skill. Children who excel in this domain thrive when learning through active movement, hands-on experiences, and physical interaction with their environment. Engaging them in such activities is not only fun but also essential for developing gross motor skills, balance, coordination, and overall physical well-being

Skating ​

​Skating empowers our little Suncitizens with more than just fun—it's a powerful catalyst for growth.
Through skating, they are not only developing their balance and coordination but also unlocking enhanced muscle strength and flexibility, while building confidence and mental resilience. Our little ones are already mastering the art of walking and gliding in a straight line—and with each graceful push and glide, their sense of spatial awareness and body control deepens. With every skate session, they’re not just moving—they’re growing stronger, more agile, and braver, one confident glide at a time.

Storytelling

​Storytelling is a powerful medium that nurtures creativity, strengthens listening skills, and fosters a love for reading in young children. In the early years, it creates a magical experience—transporting children into imaginative worlds while making learning joyful and meaningful.
This month, the storytelling journey continued with the delightful tale “Rainbow Sambhar”. The engaging narrative not only entertained the children but also helped them explore the beauty of colours and the joy of healthy eating. While narrating the story, the educator brought real-life objects and ingredients to make sambhar, which fascinated the children and deepened their connection with the story. To extend the experience, the children created their own rainbows in their sketch files using vibrant crayons and pencils, beautifully expressing their imagination and creativity

Imaginarium

​At Imaginarium, children immersed themselves in a world of creativity and play through exciting stations like pretend play, blocks, and puppets. They built imaginative stories at the puppet corner, designed towers and castles in the block area, and explored the transport corner by creating cars and mini lands with LEGO. Each activity blended fun with learning, reinforcing concepts of shapes, collaboration, and problem-solving. Imaginarium truly remains a space where imagination thrives and every visit sparks new ideas and discoveries

EYP Playtime ​

​Free play provides children with valuable opportunities to build important social skills. As they interact and collaborate with peers, they naturally learn negotiation, turn-taking, and sharing. These playful interactions encourage effective communication and nurture the development of empathy, respect, and cooperation. In this way, free play lays a strong foundation for positive relationships and harmonious social growth

These Montessori activities not only built foundational skills but also instilled confidence and independence in our young learners, helping them take pride in their growing abilities.

Drama:

​Drama continues to play a vital role in nurturing children's emotional development and social understanding. It helps children explore different expressions and strengthens their ability to connect with others in meaningful ways. In July, the EYP 2 children were introduced to a range of emotions and expressions through engaging activities. They explored feelings such as happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, and fear using facial gestures, body language, and vocal tones. To make the learning more interactive and fun, the children participated in an exciting Emoji Game where they identified and enacted different emotions represented by emojis. This playful approach helped them better understand emotional cues while encouraging empathy and expressive communication. Through these activities, the children grew more confident in expressing themselves and recognizing the feelings of others around them.

Storytelling

​Storytelling was a powerful medium that nurtured creativity, enhanced listening skills, and cultivated a love for reading in young children. In the early years, it offered a magical experience, transporting children to imaginative worlds while making learning joyful and meaningful. 
 
 This month, the storytelling journey began with the delightful story ‘The Very Lazy Ladybird’, which captured the children’s attention with its engaging narrative and humorous tone. The story introduced various animals and highlighted the importance of trying new things and staying active. To extend the experience, the children drew their favourite animal using crayons and pencils, expressing their imagination through art. 
 
 In the third week, the story ‘Ravi’s Roar’ was introduced, focusing on understanding and managing emotions. Through Ravi’s relatable experience of feeling angry and learning how to calm himself, the children were gently introduced to the concept of emotional regulation. In a follow-up session, a verbal activity was conducted where children shared how they felt in different situations and explored simple strategies to calm down, like counting, deep breathing, or talking about their feelings.
 

Pottery

​Pottery is a joyful and hands-on art form that gives young children a wonderful opportunity to explore their creativity while strengthening their fine motor skills. This month, as part of our Summer Fruit Festival, children from different sections sculpted fruit-themed clay models based on their class focus:
  • EYP2(A) – Students crafted a watermelon
  • EYP2(B) – Students sculpted a coconut
  • EYP2(C) – Students shaped a pomegranate

In July, the children of EYP 2 engaged in learning dance moves to the song ‘Patriotic Mashup song’.

Bodily Kinaesthetic Intelligence
P.E.:


​

​Bodily-Kinaesthetic Intelligence Bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence refers to the ability to control body movements and skillfully handle physical objects. Children who excel in this area learn best through movement, hands-on experiences, and physical interaction with their environment. In July, our energetic young learners took part in a variety of fun-filled activities designed to nurture their bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence in a playful and engaging way. They began with warm-up exercises to get their bodies moving and ready for action. Activities such as frog jumps, animal walks, and mountain walks helped children develop body control and balance, all while having a great time. One of the highlights was a cone-jumping challenge, where the play area was divided into three zones — animals, fruits, and vegetables. As the teacher called out names like “Brinjal” or “Apple,” children had to quickly jump to the correct cone based on the category. This activity boosted their quick-thinking skills, auditory processing, and agility, while keeping them constantly on the move. Another exciting activity involved racing through a hula hoop course. Hula hoops were placed at spaced-out intervals across the playground, and children had to run, hop, or crawl their way through them as quickly as possible. This race not only encouraged physical endurance but also required coordination, spatial awareness, and determination to complete the course. From structured drills to imaginative physical challenges, each activity was carefully crafted to allow children to explore, express, and strengthen their bodily-kinaesthetic abilities. More than just movement, these experiences laid the foundation for lifelong physical confidence, teamwork, and joy in learning through play.

Skating

​Skating combines fun with fitness, offering children an exciting way to boost their balance, coordination, and flexibility. It also plays a key role in strengthening muscles and building self-assurance as they take on new challenges.
Our enthusiastic young Suncitizens are learning to glide with growing confidence. With helmets snug and focus sharp, they’ve begun mastering the skill of skating—gracefully balancing and moving in straight lines with ease and enthusiasm.  

Imaginarium

It is often said that imagination is one of the greatest gifts a child possesses — a spark that fuels creativity, curiosity, and endless possibilities. We believe that a child's ability to dream, pretend, and create knows no limits.
They explored different learning stations such as the pretend play station, block station, and puppet play station, each offering unique opportunities for creative expression and collaborative fun.
At the sensory tables, children sorted colorful pom poms by color, engaging their fine motor skills and sensory perception. At the block station, our young architects joyfully built towers, castles, and imaginative structures using a mix of large and small blocks — each design more inventive than the last.
Adding to the excitement, children also explored numeracy through a fun challenge — collecting seven different objects to reinforce the concept of the number ‘7’. This playful, purposeful activity helped connect mathematical thinking with hands-on exploration.
With so many engaging experiences in one place, the Imaginarium visit truly allowed our young explorers to dive deep into the magical world of imagination and creativity!

​Learning number recognition at an early stage is essential, as it builds the groundwork for logical thinking, critical analysis, and problem-solving skills. Over the past two months, the children have been introduced to numbers 1 to 4 using a range of fun, sensory-rich experiences. Activities included singing number rhymes, watching educational videos, tracing numbers, counting everyday objects, and even using their body parts to understand quantity. They also explored foundational math concepts such as big and small, heavy and light, and tall and short through practical, hands-on learning. These abstract ideas were made more relatable through stories—for instance, in the tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, children compared the size of the bears’ belongings to understand the concept of size differences. Additionally, children were introduced to common shapes like circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles. These shapes were taught using familiar items and interactive play, enabling children to recognize and connect them to real-world objects in their surroundings.

Visual-Spatial Intelligence

Visual Art

​Children enhanced their spatial skills through hands-on activities like making Welcome Crafts, designing Pattern Dice Hairstyles, and crafting ants for A is for Ant. A bear finger puppet brought Goldilocks to life, supporting story sequencing. They created Doll Crafts for letter D and designed creative Mother’s Day gifts, exploring color, shape, and arrangement.

Water Play:
​

​“Splash, splash, puddles everywhere!” Water play is a joyful and essential part of the preschool curriculum, promoting gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and vocabulary development.

These activities encouraged creativity, reflection, and excitement for new adventures ahead
Storytelling

Storytelling enhances kids’ imagination, language skills, and emotional
intelligence while making learning fun and engaging. As part of this, children
listened to the story While We Can’t Hug, which taught them about respecting
personal space while still sharing emotional bonds. This was followed by an
activity where they expressed their connections through various expressions.
​Musical Intelligence
                           Music is the soul of life and gives immense peace to us.
​

Western Music
Rhythms and melodies help kids memorize phrases, understand rhyming patterns, and grasp context.
During March, Children experimented with playing rhythmic patterns on their favourite musical instruments, which they had learned during EYP 2.
The children also sang their favourite song, which they had been learning and practicing throughout the year.
Indian Music
Indian music often depends on melodic movement, that is, the occurrence of tones or musical notes to create a single line of tune. During March, children practiced singing the welcome song ‘आओ आओ संगीत बनाओ and vocal warm-ups along with the educator. Children also attempted to play a basic rhythmic pattern on a new musical instrument, a Snare Drum.  
Dance

                        "When you dance, the world becomes your stage!"
            "With your feet on the ground, your head in the clouds, and a twirl all around!"
Dancing is a joyful activity that lets young learners express themselves.
Through dance, young learners can convey their feelings and imagination,
boosting their confidence and self-expression. Dance also builds strength,
particularly in the core, legs, and arms, which is important for overall physical
development. This month, our young learners learned dance steps to "Waka
Waka" and the "Holi Song."
Drama

           "When we pretend, we can go anywhere – the moon, the jungle, or the zoo!"
           "Imagination is the key to creativity, and every child has a part to play."

Drama is a fun activity where young learners can pretend to be different
characters, use their imagination, and tell stories. Through drama, young
learners learn how to speak, express their emotions, and listen to others.
Pretending to be various characters allows them to understand both their
feelings and the feelings of others.
This month, our young learners were engaged in a ‘Train the brain' task, wherein
they had to coordinate their expression of thoughts with the assigned body
movement. They also practiced counting up to twenty, adding a fun twist by
saying ‘quack’ at numbers 5, 10, 15, and 20.
Bodily Kinaesthetic Intelligence

Bodily Kinaesthetic Intelligence techniques improve a child’s ability to process
information physically through hand and body movements. It fosters body
control and expression and strengthens their gross, fine motor skills and hand-
eye coordination.
So our little learners practiced maintaining their balance using their supporting
muscles while jumping from a little height to a safe landing. Children also
perform jumping on a hula hoop placed on the ground in a specific pattern that
helps them to develop balance, coordination, and agility while having fun!
Skating

March was all about refining balance, coordination, and agility during skating
sessions. Children practiced smooth gliding, controlled turns, and maintaining
posture while skating in straight and zigzag patterns. 
With each session, they grew more comfortable on wheels, steadily progressing
and enjoying the thrill of the movement!
Pottery

        “Potter is a practical and lasting form of art. Not everyone can afford an
          original painting, but most people can afford pottery.”
                                                                                               - Susie Cooper

The touch and feel of clay have a naturally relaxing quality. Working with clay
integrates mental, emotional, and kinaesthetic brain functions. To add more fun,
creative, and traditional touches to our celebrations, our suncitizens created a
pichkari (water gun) and a bowl from soil dough for holding Holi colours is a fun
and eco-friendly way to celebrate the festival.
Montessori

Children engaged in hands-on learning through Montessori activities, enhancing
their mathematical and language skills.
In the Game with Addition Strips, they explored number concepts by using
coloured strips to solve simple addition problems, developing a strong foundation

‘Children learn as they play. Most importantly in play children learn how to learn'.
                                                                                                - O Fred Donaldson

Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning. Play improves
the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being of children and young
people. Through play, children learn about the world and themselves. They also
learn skills they need for study, work, and relationships.
Imaginarium

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
                                                                                                 -Albert Einstein

Imaginarium is a place where children can ignite their imagination. Our little

Throughout their practice in January, children have been honing their balance on skates by walking and gliding along straight and zigzag lines. 
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 colours. In February, the concept of colour segregation was reinforced through a drawing and colouring activity.
The following week, children were introduced to a story about various habitats—land, pond, burrow, and forest—followed by a worksheet on the topic during the last week of the month.’
​Imaginarium
Imaginarium is a lively space designed to spark creativity and imagination in children. Our young Suncitizens eagerly explored a variety of interactive stations, including the Kitchen Station, where they played chef, the Supermarket Station, where they learned about shopping and budgeting; the Lego Station, where they built creative structures; and the Transport Station, where they explored different modes of travel. Each station provided a unique, hands-on experience that encouraged learning through play and exploration.
EYP Playtime 
“Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.”
~ Fred Rogers

Children always love free play and peer-to-peer interaction. They used their freedom of choice to play on slides, swings, and sand-pit while choosing their other favorite spots in the EYP play area. Play allows a child to learn the skills of negotiation, problem-solving, sharing, and working within groups. Children practice decision-making skills, move at their own pace, and discover their interests during play. Unstructured play may lead to more physical movement and healthier children. Here, in our EYP play area is the fount of such unstructured play.

​THEME: Earth’s Natural Cycle

Dear Parents!
Greetings
“As seasons change, so do we, Learning from nature's harmony.
Each leaf that falls, each flower that grows, teaches us more than we suppose."

This month, our little learners embraced the wonders of nature and the concept of a
home, beautifully tied to the stories Fletcher and the Falling Leaves and The Three
Little Pigs.
Seasons: Through Fletcher's story, children explored the beauty of autumn leaves,
the stillness of winter, and the blossoming joy of spring. They understood how animals
adapt through hibernation, a clever survival strategy, and migration, as birds seek
milder climates. Projects like creating an autumn tree brought these lessons to life.
​
Home: Inspired by The Three Little Pigs, children learned that a home is more than
walls—it's a haven of love and safety. They discovered different parts of a house,
from cozy living rooms to functional kitchens. They explored animal habitats like
burrows, stables, and even hollow logs, which serve as sanctuaries for some creatures.
"A hollow log, a burrow deep, a place where animals safely sleep.
Each home unique, just like we, a lesson in life's diversity."


This integrated learning fostered curiosity and a deep respect for nature and shelter,
enriching their understanding of the world around them.

​Naturalistic intelligence:

Hibernation and Health Awareness Activity
The children learned about hibernation and how animals prepare for the winter season.
They also discussed the importance of staying healthy during season changes, focusing
on eating nutritious food, wearing appropriate clothing, and staying active. To connect
with the story Fletcher and the Falling Leaves, the children colored a picture of
Fletcher, the adorable fox. This activity reinforced the themes of seasonal change
and encouraged artistic expression while revisiting the heartwarming story.

Seasons and Their Characteristics
Children explored the seasons—spring, autumn, and winter—and their unique features.
This engaging session helped children understand each season’s characteristics and
how they affect nature, animals, and humans.

​Homes for Pets – Kennel Craft
Children learned about homes for pets, focusing on how a kennel provides a cozy and
safe shelter for dogs. As a creative activity, they made a kennel by arranging and
pasting ice cream sticks in their sketchbooks. This hands-on craft enhanced their
understanding of pet care and improved their fine motor skills through careful
construction and pasting.
​
Climate Change
Children learned that climate change happens when human actions, like cutting trees
and burning fuel, harm the Earth. This leads to problems like melting ice and changing
weather. They explored ways to help, such as planting trees, saving water, and
recycling, to protect the planet.

​Verbal Linguistic English:

“Letters form words, and words build worlds, Opening minds as knowledge unfurls."
​
This month, our young learners journeyed through the enchanting world of language,
seamlessly integrating phonics with Fletcher and the Falling Leaves and The Three
Little Pigs. These stories became rich canvases to introduce and reinforce letters,
vocabulary, and reading skills.
Exploring Letters (u, v, w): Children learned these letters through narrative phonics,
tracing in sand and air, and creating craft projects. Words like umbrella and wolf from
the stories added context and fun.

Reading CVC Words: They practiced reading words like ed, et, eg, and en, delving into
the short vowel sound of ‘e’ while enhancing their phonetic awareness.

Reviewing Letters (m, n, o, p):The letters came alive as children practiced freehand
tracing, exploring their shapes and sounds through story-inspired words like nest and
pig. Writing exercises in notebooks further reinforced their phonetic understanding
and skills.

This holistic approach enriched their verbal-linguistic intelligence, blending creativity,
storytelling, and language learning beautifully.

​Verbal Linguistic Hindi

​नवंबर के महीने में छात्रों को व्यंजन प, फ,ब और भ का परिचय करवाया गया।  साथ ही साथ इन व्यंजन से शुरू
होने वाले नए शब्द सिखाये गए ‘प’ से पतंग, ‘फ’ से फूल, ‘ब’ से बांसुरी और ‘भ’ से भालू। । इन व्यंजनों से नल

​Logical-Mathematical

Logical-Mathematical Intelligence involves children’s ability to understand numbers,
quantify them, and develop logical reasoning and critical thinking skills.
​
The educator introduced numbers 21 to 24 by reinforcing the concept of ‘Ones and
Tens’ through bundling activities, and children practiced representing these numbers
on the abacus.
To introduce the concept of ‘greater than,’ the educator shared a story called ‘Charlie
the Crocodile’ and revisited the concepts of ‘What comes After, Before, and In-
Between’ using a number line, with practice in workbooks and notebooks.
The children also reinforced numbers 8 to 15 by practicing number formation in their
notebooks. Additionally, they recapped the concept of ‘After and Before’ numbers
through an engaging activity by arranging the seasons chronologically.
The learning extended as children further strengthened their quantification skills by
completing a related worksheet.

Visual-Spatial Intelligence 

Visual art for nursery kids is a creative and playful way to spark their imagination and
develop fine motor skills. Activities like drawing, crafting, and colouring help children
express their emotions, explore colours and shapes, and build hand-eye coordination.
Through art, they also learn to appreciate beauty and develop their visual-spatial skills
while having fun.
Bouquet of Sight Words Flowers
The children created a ‘Bouquet of Sight Words’ by crafting paper flowers, with each
flower displaying a sight word. This activity made learning sight words interactive and
fun, helping to strengthen their vocabulary while enhancing their fine motor skills and
creativity.
Autumn Tree Craft
The children unleashed their creativity by sketching autumn trees and embellishing
them with real dry leaves. This activity not only strengthened their fine motor skills
and deepened their connection to the autumn season but also brought the story of
Fletcher and the Falling Leaves to life, as they recreated the enchanting beauty of
falling leaves from Fletcher’s world.
Origami Wolf Craft
As a fun extension of The Three Little Pigs story, the children folded paper to create
their very own origami wolves. This activity helped develop their fine motor skills,
concentration, and creativity while deepening their connection to the story.
Glitter Shape House Craft
The children crafted beautiful houses using glitter shapes like circles, triangles,
squares, and rectangles. They combined these shapes to build homes, adding charming
details like doors, windows, and chimneys. This activity reinforced their understanding
of shapes and boosted their creativity tying it beautifully to the thematic concept of
homes and the story of The Three Little Pigs, inspiring imaginative connections.

​Western Music

Our budding artists explored Western music with the lively song 'The Little Fish.'
They enjoyed clapping, singing, and acting out the tiny fish's underwater adventures.
This fun activity enhanced their listening skills, vocabulary, and sense of rhythm.
The session encouraged collaboration, creativity, and confidence, as the children
learned basic musical concepts like pitch and tempo. 'The Little Fish' brought smiles, giggles, and a love for music to their day!

​Indian Music

Music is one of the few activities that engages the entire brain, offering benefits like
enhanced social skills and improved coordination. Indian classical music, in particular,
fosters a sense of structure and rhythm in children. This month, they participated in
‘Sangeet for All’ activities and vocal warm-ups including:
  • ‘आओ आओ संगीत बनायें’
  •  ‘सा रे गा मा’
  •  ‘स्वागत गीत’
Our young musicians also had the chance to explore a new instrument, the ‘स्वरतारंग.’
​They enjoyed a story about the legendary Indian musician Tansen, developing a sense of pride and appreciation for his extraordinary talent.

Even online sessions could not stop our musical journey! We also enjoyed learning to
sing the story ‘प्यासा कौआ’ creatively and harmoniously, further enhancing our musical
exploration.

Interpersonal Intelligence
​
Birthday celebration: Show and Tell

Birthdays are special days, and every child looks forward to their unique celebration.
The theme for this particular celebration was ‘Homes’. Children showcased their oral
skills through a ‘Show & Tell ‘activity. They were excited to speak their lines and were
ready with their props. Additionally, children reiterated the basic etiquette of how to
behave at a party.

Montessori

Leaf Cabinet
In the Montessori Leaf Cabinet activity, children trace the outlines of leaves and then
match them with the correct leaf frame. This task helps develop fine motor skills,
precision, and concentration as children focus on the shapes and sizes of different
leaves.
Color Tablet Box 3
In this activity, children arranged the colour tablets from darkest to lightest, helping
them recognize subtle colour variations. This exercise enhances visual discrimination,
fine motor skills, and an understanding of colour gradients.
Knob less Cylinders Activity
In this Montessori activity, children used Knob less Cylinders to build a tower by
arranging the cylinders from thickest to thinnest. This exercise enhanced their fine
motor skills, visual discrimination, and spatial awareness as they carefully matched the
cylinders based on their diameter.

​Drama

Drama is an excellent way to learn by doing. It centers the child as an active
participant in the learning process. It promotes cognitive, emotional, physical, and
social development. Dramatic play is where children take on different roles and act out
scenarios.
​It’s the kind of play where kids take on roles and act out to explore themselves and
their surroundings. By pretending to be someone—or something—else, children can
learn new ways to express themselves, share thoughts and ideas, and even get in touch
with their feelings.
​This month, our young learners had fun practicing dialogue delivery with their friends
inspired by the summer, monsoon, autumn, winter, and spring seasons. They used
expressive gestures and varied voices to bring each season to life. They also enjoyed
watching an informative video about how homes keep us safe and sheltered.

Pottery

“Pottery is a practical and lasting form of art. Not everyone can afford an
original painting, but most people can afford pottery”
                                                                                           -Susie Cooper
With a strong emphasis on differentiated learning, we introduced engaging pottery sessions tailored for our young learners. These sessions provided an opportunity for each child to explore their creativity and express themselves through the art of clay modeling. Guided by their imagination and unique perspectives, the children shaped their distinct sculptures.
From beautifully crafted umbrella to delicate flowers, each creation was a testament to their individuality and growing artistic skills.
These hands-on activities not only enhanced their fine motor abilities but also fostered a sense of accomplishment and joy in bringing their ideas to life.

Dance

“Dancing is the rhythm of the soul expressed in movement, beauty, art, and creativity."                                                                                                                     -Adrienne Posey
Dance is the song of the body, an expression of joy, emotion, and creativity. It
promotes physical fitness, enhances motor skills, and improves balance, coordination,
and muscle strength. Through dance, children find themselves, lose themselves, and
grow in both body and soul. This month, our young learners enjoyed learning dance
moves to the lively tune of the song, ‘Five Senses’.

Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence

Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence involves the ability to control body movements and
interact effectively with physical objects. Children with this type of intelligence excel
when learning through hands-on experiences and active engagement. Regular
involvement in such activities is essential for their holistic growth, as bodily-
kinesthetic exercises offer a wide range of developmental benefits.
In November, children participated in several activities, such as
  • Practicing yoga poses to build body endurance.
  • Playing a game that involved aiming a bean bag into an upside-down cone
        and a container helped develop hand-eye coordination, precision, focus and motor skills.
  • Building a tower using Jenga blocks, focusing on patterns and boosting hand-eye coordination, precise finger movements, spatial awareness, and strategic thinking.

​Skating

​Skating is a delightful way for children to enhance balance and coordination while
enjoying a fantastic form of exercise. Our little Suncitizens are mastering the basics,
from walking confidently in straight and zigzag lines to gliding smoothly while seated
on skates, all with enthusiasm and joy.

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, I didn’t do it, were shown and narrated to the children to enhance
their imagination and visualization skills to have profound and lasting effects on their
growing minds.

​Imaginarium

The Imaginarium is a vibrant space where children can let their imaginations soar. Our
young Suncitizens enthusiastically explored various interactive stations, including the
kitchen, supermarket, Lego, and transport stations. They designed trains with Lego
bricks, constructed houses using different shapes, and practiced sorting fruits and
vegetables. These hands-on experiences not only sparked creativity but also encouraged critical thinking and collaborative play. I enjoyed doing an activity on sensory table.

​EYP Playtime

“Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.”
                                                                                                       - Fred Rogers
Children always love free play and peer-to-peer interaction. They used their freedom
of choice to play on slides, swings, sand-pit, and their other favorite spots in the EYP
play area.​
