Greetings!! Every child is gifted. They just unwrap their packages at different times.

Dear Parents,

Welcome back again to our second edition of Newsletter.

With implicit faith in the uniqueness of each individual child the

teachers welcomes the students after the vacation on 3rd July

’18.

The quiet corridors of the Primary Wing came alive with the

resounding chatter and joyous laughter of the children who

seemed completely energised and rejuvenated after a long

summer vacation. The students too seemed highly excited to

meet their teachers. In the scorching heat of summer, the

vacation was a welcome relief and the cool showers of July

lowered the temperature and put the spirits of our little ones on

an all time high.

Both students and teachers geared up for a very busy and

exciting year with lots of opportunities and new experiences.

Classes I-V

Art Activities in July

“Artists are just children who refuse to

put down their crayons” ~Al Hirschfeld

Art enhances the process of learning and is a

natural activity to support creativity in children.

The children should be given opportunity to work

on their own and collaborate with others. Keeping

this in mind a variety of art activities like Draw and

colour, and Mosaic painting were organised for

classes I-III.

The children were at their creative best and

enjoyed doing the activities.

in good health is a

duty, otherwise we

story, teaching morals and values, giving instructions or guidance, etc. Students of class I made beautiful

CIRCLE TIME

“Children love Circle Time . Circle Time brings just the right blend of structure, enjoyment and learning!”

Circle time is very popular with children, giving them a break from academic work . The students gain

experiential practice at communication , social skills, problem solving and other social and emotional

competencies. They learn to listen to others, to be tolerant to others view points and to respect fellow

pupils. The students of classes I -V enjoy thoroughly playing games and expressing their views on

different topics. They eagerly wait for this time every Friday.

Well Parents, this is just the beginning. Be

prepared for a lot more hands- on

activities in the coming months.

Your Best

If you always try your best

Then you’ll never have to wonder

About what you could have done

If you’d summoned all your thunder.

And if your best

Was not as good

As you hoped it would be,

You still could say,

“I gave today

All that I had in me.”

PARENT PLUS Talk to your child - Ask

your child to talk about his day at school.

Encourage him/her to explain something

they learnt in the class or what game did

they play during the school hours etc.

Every child needs a loving and warm

environment.
