Excursion to Mowgly’s Farm
A trip to animal farm helps to observe and understand the animal behaviour and habitat closely. It provides an opportunity to interact with them and understand them in their natural surroundings. Also, it’s an opportunity for kids to see almost all the domestic or farm animals that they have only read about or drawn in the notebooks. It was an overwhelming experience for them to see all the farm animals straight out of their picture books. The visit allowed them to learn more about the habitat and sounds of various animals. This practical approach to learning helped them to remember and retain the knowledge forever.
Our EYP students visited the ‘Mogly’s farm’ as a part of their annual excursion on 10th March 2023. The energy amongst the students was palpable. At the farm, the children enjoyed various activities like milking a cow, petting the animals, feeding the sheep, holding the rabbits and guinea pigs.

Naturalistic Intelligence
Naturalistic intelligence refers to a person’s interest in the ‘Natural’ world of animals, plants, and the natural world around them. Individuals with naturalist intelligence have a sensitivity to and appreciation for nature. Our little Suncitizens went out for a nature walk wherein they saw insect homes, birds, butterflies etc.
They also focused on conserving the environment through various ways using eco friendly material. They used old newspapers and made one paper bag to reduce the usage of polythene bags. Our little ones also made one craft activity for the festival 'Christmas' using eco friendly material.

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. Great scientists like Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and Einstein were also fond of music. By combining teaching and music, educators can help students increase their memory, concentration and academic performance.
Western Music
Students who have early music training, naturally develop their language skills and reasoning abilities. Music stimulates children’s emotional and cognitive abilities and allow their brain to think in a new and different way. Children along with the educator merrily sang the most peppy and much loved Christmas carol, “Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer.” Their keenness to learn the lyrics of the song was noticeable.

- CVC words ‘e’ vowel -Children read the CVC words of vowel ‘e’ and matched them with the correct pictures given.
EYP Play Area
“Play is our brain's favorite way of learning.” – Diane Ackerman.
It is a happy talent to know how to play. 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 own interests during play. Unstructured play leads to more physical movement and makes the children healthy. The EYP play area is the fount of such unstructured play.

Maths Week
Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations, or algorithms: it is
about understanding. -William Paul Thurston
Mathematics offers children a powerful way of communication. They learn to
explore and explain their ideas using symbols, diagrams, spoken and written
language. Mathematics helps children solve problems, measure, and develop spatial
awareness, along with how to use and understand shapes.
To foster the above skills this month, we facilitated ‘Math Week’ wherein children
did various hands-on learning practices through games.
Hopscotch:
Children enjoyed playing the ‘Hop Scotch’ game wherein they were asked to
roll a dice. They were instructed to tell the educator, the number that came
after the number that appeared on the dice.
Tan Gram:
To unleash our Children’s imagination, they were asked to create a figure
using the various shapes given to them. We were stunned to see their
creative masterpieces such as a house, a giant rocket, a ladybug etc.
Number Board:
Our meticulous learners created a colour pattern with the dots given on a
number board while keeping the sequence of the numbers in mind.
This activity certainly enhanced their pre-math skills such as ordering.
Number cards and counters:
To reinforce the quantification and recognition of numbers, children were
asked to read the numbers given on the number cards and later they placed
the correct number of counters as per the respective number.
