Circle Time

1.The Lemonade Party To beat the heat in the scorching summer, the students of Nursery enjoyed a refreshing

lemonade party. It gave them a hands-on experience of making a glass of lemonade. The

main objective behind this activity was to make the little ones aware about the

importance of drinking lemonade in summers and they should avoid drinking other

beverages available in the market. This healthy and instant limewater was relished by all

the children.

life( EPL.) As the child enjoys rolling things, it helps the child develop fine motor skills

the child develop gross motor skill, become independent and confident and can perform

daily task that might he or she can find at home.

different impressions given by the senses. This is to help children develop

skills for discrimination, order, and to broaden and refine the senses.

All About Me:-

Body Parts- Important aspect of encouraging body learning is not only just teaching the function of

each body part but it also helps children in developing an appreciation for their body and

a confidence in themselves.

7

My Family Tree- Learning about family members & their relationship is the basic information

that the child must know from his childhood. Family tree was a great activity

taken up for our Nursery kids.

Personal Hygiene-

The body performs better when it is clean and healthy. Personal hygiene is how you care

for your body. This practice includes bathing, washing your hands, brushing your teeth,

and more. Personal hygiene practices can help you and the people around you prevent

illnesses. They can also help you feel good about your appearance. Kids were said to trace

& colour the objects used for personal hygiene.

8

Sensory organs- The five sense organs are the eyes, nose, ears, tongue and skin.

The sense organs are the body organs by which humans can see, smell, hear, taste, and

touch or feel. The function & importance of these 5 sensory organs was explained by

taking different activities related to the sense organ. This helped our kids in their overall

development.

Rainbow making:- The enthusiastic learners brushed, coloured and wore their aprons to be out. They

cheered everyone around with vibrant rainbows peeping through their windows. Through

this lockdown times they sent a message of positivity and hope that the world will soon

be a better place to live again.

“Hope is the positive mode of awaiting the future”. – Emil Bruner

The past months have been unprecedented in our lives and yet there is hope that

these trying times will pass too, leaving us the better for this. We learn from testing

times, and none more severe than these long drawn weeks, that have enabled us to

learn and execute new things, that have brought families home together after long

breaks, instilling familial intimacy and rejuvenating bridges that some of us had

probably forgotten existed. The thought of keeping indoors would overwhelm the

simplest of minds and our students may find things very difficult in these times. So

it is upon all of the other stakeholders to ensure that their mental and emotional

needs are addressed effectively. E-Learning is a process that we have learnt and the

students will slowly and surely get into the right gears and speed to collect and

accumulate knowledge form the new processes. It is the emotional strength that we

need to address to ensure that these trying times leave nary a scar upon the delicate

minds of our precious young wards.

We take away positives from this situation and learn that we can indeed survive and

well at that, without expensive gifts, without expensive holidays and branded items!

Maybe this is nature’s way of administering on us a strict punishment for all that we

had unleashed with our desire for luxury and extreme comforts. I am sure this break

is also allowing our environment and the nature around us to heal as much as it would

help in healing our own minds. I pray for the well-being of all creatures big and small

and hope that we all come out of this current situation stronger and better, as more

responsible citizens of our frail mother earth!

Be the Reason for someone’s smile today!
