Grade I’s Activity On Birds



Kids of grade I did an activity on birds with the help of the art master on the topic Integrating Art with EVS. Kids learnt that birds need wings to fly, a beak to eat its food and feathers on its body. All the body parts were given and kids made the bird and colored it.





PP2 - Puppet Show



Using puppets can be a great way to get young children involved in story time. Not only does using a puppet capture their attention, it is also a great way to make the story come alive for preschoolers. Hand Puppets are a natural and fun extension of the pretend play that young children engage in so readily. The children of Pre Primary had great time in listening to the shapes story and were given many open ended questions.







Chairman's Cup for grade VI, VII & VIII



Middle school’s (grades VI, VII & VIII) Chairman’s cup was held on 26th February 2013. The guest for this occasion was Mrs. Radhika, faculty member from Chemistry Department. The topic was "Should Moral Science Be a Part of School Curriculum or Not." The children showed enthusiasm in presenting their thoughts for both supporting the topic and speaking against it. It was indeed a pleasure to see all the participants presenting their views well structured and thought provoking. The Chairman's Cup concluded by a thought from our guest who said “There is no point learning moral values alone, but implementing them in our lives is more important”.  






Grade I's Field Trip to a Farm



Students of Grade I were taken for a field trip on 26-02-2013 to a farm house near Anandapuram to see the different kinds of animals and birds we see around us in connection with the EVS lesson . In the farm kids were very happy to see different animals and birds like the Ostrich, Emus and their babies, hens, cows, buffaloes, rabbits, dogs and its puppies and a turtle.  Kids identified the difference between farm, pet and domestic animals. From this field trip kids learnt the different kinds of food eaten by different animals and birds. Kids were surprised to see the Emu's bird’s egg so big in size and all were so eager to hold it. It was a very exciting trip for the kids. After the children reached back to school each child was made to give his/her reflections about the trip.
