Their curiosity then led to an open discussion on how fabrics are sourced from both plants and animals, deepening their appreciation for the materials that shape our daily lives.
Students participated in a creative activity where they drewdesigned their own costume inspired by their favourite season and occasion. They then shared their ideas by talking about the type of fibre and fabric used in their designs, blending imagination with scientific understanding of textiles.
The adventure didn’t stop there—their journey expanded into the Solar System. To ignite curiosity, thought-provoking questions were posed to revisit their prior knowledge about the positioning of planets, their names, and the wonders of space. This interactive beginning set the stage for an exciting exploration of the universe beyond our Earth.

​Celebrating Learning – Understanding Air and Festivals

December was a joyful and engaging month for our Group 3 learners as they explored two meaningful themes—Air Around Us and Festivals We Celebrate. Through interactive activities, discussions, and celebrations, students gained an understanding of the importance of air in their lives and experienced the joy of India’s vibrant festivals.

Children learned that air is all around us and is essential for living beings. They explored how air helps us breathe, move objects, fly kites, and even make music in instruments. Through fun experiments, they discovered that air has mass, occupies space, and is always in motion. They also discussed the importance of clean air and ways to reduce pollution, such as planting trees, avoiding burning waste, and keeping their surroundings clean.

Alongside scientific learning, the month was filled with happiness as students learned about different festivals celebrated across India. They understood how festivals bring people together, spread joy, and teach us values like unity, respect, kindness, and gratitude. Students enjoyed sharing how they celebrate festivals with their families and the traditions they follow.

Connecting their learning to SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-Being and SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities, students realised that keeping our air clean and celebrating our culture with respect and responsibility helps build a healthier and happier world.

December was truly a month of curiosity, celebration, and meaningful learning, helping students appreciate both nature and culture with equal enthusiasm.
​

This was followed by a presentation on traditional clothes of different Indian states, helping students understand India’s rich cultural diversity and how geography and climate influence clothing choices.
To build environmental awareness, students explained how excessive use and improper disposal of clothes often end up in landfills, causing harm to the environment. This segment effectively connected learning to real-life issues and emphasized the importance of mindful consumption.
The assembly concluded with a strong message on SDG-12, encouraging everyone to choose sustainable clothing, reuse garments, and reduce waste. Students pledged to promote sustainability by wearing eco-friendly or reused clothes on birthdays instead of new ones.
The highlight of the assembly was a ramp walk, where students confidently walked the stage wearing sustainable and traditional attire, reinforcing the message that fashion can be both stylish and responsible.
The assembly was informative, creative, and impactful, successfully fostering environmental responsibility and interdisciplinary learning among students.

​Badminton: Students practised footwork and movements with a shuttlecock. Task 1 included juggling with a shuttle, while Task 2 focused on playing with teammates and opponents to build camaraderie among peers. Students also practised six-corner footwork, clear skill drills, and match play.

Swimming: Students practised breathing techniques both inside and outside the water, bubbling exercises, freestyle kicking on the spot, and arm actions of the freestyle stroke.

Gymnastics: Students performed standing bridge, hop cartwheel, wall handstand, high beam activities, balancing beam exercises, and podium jumps.

Judo: Students practised ukemi techniques (back fall), tsugi ashi (walking movement), mae ukemi (front fall), and ayumi ashi (walking movement).

Shooting: Students were introduced to weapons, fundamentals, and safety rules. Practice included learning range commands, double-hand holding with a 1 kg dumbbell for 30 seconds, without a dumbbell for 45 seconds, dummy holding on the wall, and practising the firing position.

Cricket, Football, Tennis, Basketball: Due to poor Air Quality Index (AQI) levels and as per government guidelines, outdoor sports activities were temporarily suspended to safeguard students’ health.

Despite these restrictions, students actively participated in sports through indoor and low-exposure activities. They enjoyed indigenous games such as Kho-Kho, which helped improve agility, coordination, and teamwork. Students also took part in indoor games like Badminton, Table Tennis, Box Cricket, and other fitness activities to remain active and engaged.

These adjustments ensured that sports learning continued safely. We looked forward to resuming outdoor games once air quality improved and conditions became safe for our students.

​Vocal warm-up was conducted to prepare the voice for singing and included deep breathing, humming, Sa-Re-Ga practice, lip rolling, and light aalap.

“Door Ek Tara Ja Raha Hai” is a Hindi Christmas devotional song based on the birth of Jesus Christ. The song depicted a shining star guiding people to Bethlehem and spreading the message of love, peace, and hope.

Keharwa taal is an 8-beat rhythm commonly used in light and devotional songs. On the congo, it was played with a bass sound on the first beat, open tones on the third and seventh beats, and soft strokes on the remaining beats.

​This month, students from Grades III to V presented a serene and soulful performance of the timeless carol “Silent Night.” With calm voices, controlled dynamics, and thoughtful expression, they beautifully conveyed the song’s message of peace, hope, and quiet reflection.

The performance was enhanced by soft percussion and melodic instrumental accompaniment, with students carefully listening to one another and blending as an ensemble. Through focused practice, they demonstrated improved pitch accuracy, rhythmic control, and coordination, creating a tranquil atmosphere that encouraged listeners to pause and reflect.

We are proud of our students’ dedication and growing musicianship, and we thank the music department for guiding them in sharing music that inspires peace, harmony, and togetherness.

​ TOPIC: CONTEMPORARY JAZZ.                                                                                                                    In this month's Western Dance class, our students explored the vibrant world of Contemporary Jazz. The session combined warm-ups, foundational ballet techniques, and expressive travelling movements to help students build both strength and creativity.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            1. Warm-Up: Getting the Bodies Ready- The class began with gentle stretches for arms and legs, light jogging in place, and calming breathing exercises. These activities helped students focus, center themselves, and prepare their bodies for safe and energetic dancing.                                                                               
 2.  Understanding Contemporary Jazz- Students were introduced to Contemporary Jazz, a dynamic blend of jazz dance and contemporary movement. This style is smooth, expressive, and often tells a story through dance. It combines sharp jazz steps with flowing contemporary moves, allowing students to be both powerful and graceful.                                                                                                
 3. Why Ballet Techniques are important- We discussed the importance of ballet as the foundation for jazz and contemporary dance. Ballet provides strength, balance, and control. It teaches positions and techniques that make movements cleaner and stronger. Without ballet basics, jazz steps can feel unsteady—but with ballet, they shine brightly!        
4. Demi Pliés in Parallel Feet- Students practiced demi pliés (half bends of the knees) with feet in parallel. This exercise warms up the legs and prepares dancers for jumps and turns, building strength and flexibility.    5. Ballet 1st Position- We introduced the 1st position. This position is the starting point for many ballet movements and helps dancers develop posture and alignment.                                                                              6. Demi Plies in Ballet 1st Position- Combining the two skills, students performed demi pliés in 1st position. This exercise strengthens the legs, improves balance, and enhances flexibility.                                                    7. Contemporary Travel- Finally, students explored contemporary traveling steps—movements that carry them across the floor with flow and expression. These included slides, runs, and leaps, encouraging the students to connect their movements and use space creatively.

​In December, our drama classes focused on Characterisation—the art of making a character feel complete, real, and believable on stage.

Understanding Characterisation
Students learned how actors build different characters by considering how a person talks, moves, and reacts, even in imaginary situations.

Acting Naturally in Artificial Situations
Through guided activities, students explored how to behave truthfully under given circumstances, helping them perform with honesty and confidence.

Activity 1: Character Talk
Students spoke simple lines while imagining themselves as different characters, discovering how voice, posture, and emotion change with each role.

Activity 2: Musical Emotional Chair
This fun game used music and emotions to guide movement, helping students express feelings such as happiness, fear, or excitement naturally.

These activities strengthened students’ imagination, emotional expression, and confidence, allowing them to enjoy the process of becoming different characters while remaining authentic on stage.

Jatis are rhythmic patterns or groupings used in Indian classical dance. The main types of jatis include:
Tisra – Three
Chatusra – Four
Khanda – Five
Misra – Seven
Sankirna – Nine
Students learned the concept of jati as pure rhythmic patterns and explored key aspects of Indian classical dance. The lessons included micro concepts such as maatra (beats), taal (time cycle), dance syllables, and their superimposition on the time cycle. Students practised syllabic recitation and footwork (Nritta technique) based on Tisra and Chatusra jatis.

Students created a winter scene composition by observing the view from their classroom window and recalling memories from trips or using their imagination. They depicted the winter season through elements such as snow, fog, and people wearing warm sweaters. Children carefully arranged these details to express the cold and calm feeling of winter. For this artwork, they used mixed media such as water colours, oil pastels, and pencil colours to add texture and depth.

​“ A Journey Through Sounds, Stories, and Innovation!”
​
November has been a joyful journey of learning in Grade III, where children explored the theme Transport through engaging PBL-based activities. Through the poem The Sound Collector, students tuned into everyday sounds and experienced how silence changes our surroundings. The exciting Sound Walk turned them into little explorers, listening carefully and listing sounds they discovered around them. They also enjoyed creating transport-themed palindrome tickets, learning how patterns and symmetry connect to real-life designs like roads and vehicles.
The PBL activity “Innovators of Sound” encouraged students to think creatively about how sound can make travel safer and more efficient. They brainstormed new sound ideas for buses, trains, cycles, and pedestrian crossings—developing problem-solving, collaboration, and presentation skills.
The month beautifully blended language, creativity, and critical thinking, making learning joyful, meaningful, and deeply connected to real life.

​सीख और सृजन से भरा नवंबर : हमारे छात्रों  का प्रेरणादायी सफ़र

नवंबर का महीना हमारे बच्चों के लिए सीख, रचनात्मकता और मूल्यों से भरपूर रहा। इस महीने में बच्चों ने न केवल भाषा कौशल को मजबूत किया, बल्कि जीवन से जुड़ी महत्वपूर्ण सीखें भी अपनाईं। सबसे पहले बच्चों ने कहानी लेखन का अभ्यास किया, जिसमें उन्होंने कहानी के अंगों—पात्र, स्थान, समस्या और समाधान—को समझा और अपनी कल्पनाओं को सुंदर कहानियों में व्यक्त किया। उनकी रचनात्मकता और सोच स्पष्ट रूप से उभरकर सामने आई, जिससे उनके लेखन कौशल और शब्द ज्ञान में उल्लेखनीय वृद्धि हुई। 
‘बहादुर बच्चे’ पाठ के माध्यम से बच्चों ने जाना कि भारत में बहादुरी पुरस्कार किन बच्चों को दिए जाते हैं और उनके पीछे की प्रेरणादायक कहानियाँ क्या होती हैं। इससे बच्चों में निडरता, साहस, सहयोग और अच्छे गुणों को अपनाने की प्रेरणा विकसित हुई। वहीं ‘साइकिल मिल गई’ पाठ ने उन्हें सिखाया कि मेहनत कभी व्यर्थ नहीं जाती और लगन हमेशा सफलता दिलाती है। इस कहानी ने न केवल उनके नैतिक मूल्यों को मजबूत किया, बल्कि उन्हें एक बेहतर इंसान बनने की दिशा में भी आगे बढ़ाया।इसके बाद बच्चों ने विराम चिह्नों के बारे में सीखा और जाना कि वे वाक्यों को स्पष्ट और अर्थपूर्ण बनाते हैं। उन्होंने हाथों और शरीर के अंगों से विराम चिह्न बनाकर मज़ेदार तरीके से गतिविधियाँ कीं, जिससे उनकी समझ और भी गहरी हो गई।
नवंबर का यह महीना बच्चों के लिए सीख, संवेदना, नैतिकता और अभिव्यक्ति का सुंदर संगम रहा। हमें गर्व है कि हमारे बच्चे पढ़ाई के साथ-साथ गुणों और व्यवहार में भी निरंतर प्रगति कर रहे हैं।

​In November, the young learners were introduced to the concept of Time. They learned to measure time in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years. Students practiced reading time in various formats such as O’clock, Quarter Past, Half Past, and Quarter To. They also explored the calendar—understanding days, weeks, and months—along with converting years, months, and weeks into days. Additionally, they worked on identifying before and after dates and months. Unit conversions were further strengthened through classroom exercises. As a closure activity for the chapter, an SDG-6 based task, My Daily Schedule of Sanitization, was introduced to help students connect time management with essential hygiene practices.
​

Students explored light by identifying luminous and non-luminous sources and comparing natural and artificial light. They discovered how light travels through transparent, translucent, and opaque materials, creating shadows through fun activities.
They then investigated force and its effects, and differentiated between pleasant and unpleasant sounds. Finally, they learned how friction influences everyday life—helping movement, slowing objects, and changing with increase or decrease. These explorations not only deepened scientific understanding but also nurtured curiosity, making everyday phenomena come alive for the learners.

Exploring Our Planet – Understanding Earth and Water
​
November was an exciting month of exploration for our Group 3 learners as they dived into the themes Knowing Our Earth and Water We Drink. Through meaningful activities and discussions, they discovered how our planet is shaped, how water reaches us, and why it is important to use it wisely.
Students learned about the sources of water—rivers, lakes, ponds, wells, and rain. They discussed how this precious resource reaches our homes and why water conservation is essential. Simple habits like closing taps tightly, avoiding wastage, and reusing water for plants were highlighted to help them become responsible young citizens.
As they continued their learning journey, the children explored the difference between a globe and a map. They enjoyed identifying continents and oceans on the globe and comparing it with flat maps to understand how both tools help us see our world in different ways.
The month also introduced them to the compass and the use of directions. Through hands-on activities, they learned about the four major directions—North, South, East, and West—and how directions help us locate places and read maps accurately.
Linking their understanding to SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation and SDG 13 – Climate Action, students realised that conserving water and caring for our planet are essential steps in protecting Earth for future generations.
November was all about discovering our planet, understanding water, and learning how to navigate the world with curiosity and responsibility.

​​Students were introduced to the world of MS Word through a fun hands-on activity. To spark curiosity, they first wrote on paper and tried changing colours and styles manually. Once the facilitator demonstrated the same task digitally in MS Word, the class instantly understood how technology makes everyday work smarter and faster! They explored the components of the Word window, learnt to create a new document, type and edit text, save their work, print, and close files. The young learners thoroughly enjoyed typing short passages and experimenting with different fonts, colours, and formatting tools. Overall, November was a month of discovery, practice, and progress as Grade III students strengthened their foundation in digital writing and document creation!

​अक्टूबर: त्यौहारों और सीख का संगम 
'उत्सवों की रौनक के बीच बच्चों की सीख और संवेदनशीलता का सुंदर मेल'
अक्टूबर का महीना सचमुच उल्लास और उमंग से भरा रहा। जहाँ एक ओर त्यौहारों की रौनक ने वातावरण को रंगीन बनाया, वहीं दूसरी ओर कक्षा में सीखने का उत्साह हर ओर झलकता रहा।
इस महीने की शुरुआत मुहावरों की अवधारणा से हुई, जिसने बच्चों की वाकपटुता और अभिव्यक्ति शैली को निखारा। साथ ही, पर्यायवाची शब्दों के अभ्यास के माध्यम से उनके शब्दकोश ज्ञान में वृद्धि हुई। समानार्थक शब्दों को समझते हुए न केवल उनका ज्ञान बढ़ा, बल्कि उनके लेखन और पठन कौशल में भी उल्लेखनीय सुधार हुआ।त्यौहारों की उमंग में और भी रंग भरने के लिए यह दीवाली याद रहेगी पाठ का पठन करवाया गया। जिसके माध्यम से बच्चों ने हमारे पर्वों का महत्व, संस्कृति की समृद्धि और पर्यावरण को स्वच्छ रखने का संदेश समझा। उन्होंने संवेदनशीलता, सहानुभूति और जिम्मेदारी जैसे जीवन-मूल्यों को आत्मसात किया। साथ ही, जेबखर्च की बचत का सदुपयोग करते हुए उन्होंने यह भी सीखा कि हम अनेक होते हुए भी एक हैं।
इस प्रकार, अक्टूबर का महीना बच्चों के चहुमुखी — बौद्धिक, भावनात्मक, भाषाई और सामाजिक विकास — का प्रतीक बन गया।यह वास्तव में एक शानदार और यादगार महीना रहा जिसने सीखने और जीवन के आनंद को एक सुंदर धागे में पिरो दिया।

​Connecting the World – Through Movement and Messages

October was a month of discovery for our Grade III learners as they explored Means of Transport and Communication. They learned how people and messages travel across distances and how transport connects our world.
Through hands-on activities like reading rail and air tickets, students learned to identify travel details such as names, dates, and destinations—just like real travellers! They also discussed traffic signs and road safety, understanding the importance of being alert and responsible on the road.
Linking their learning to SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities, they realised that safe travel and responsible behaviour help make our cities safer and smarter.
October was all about learning to move, connect, and communicate responsibly in our everyday lives.

In October, young learners explored the concept of fractions. They became familiar with terms such as numerator and denominator and practiced reading and representing fractions visually by shading parts of a whole. Students differentiated between like and unlike fractions and, using fraction kits, built creative models to understand quarters, halves, one-eighths, and one-sixths. They were also introduced to unit, proper, and improper fractions, reinforcing their understanding through sorting and note-making activities. Engaging word problems helped them practice comparing, adding, and subtracting like fractions.
Following this, students embarked on a new topic — Measurements. Through interactive discussions, they explored Standard and Non-Standard units of measurement, identifying the limitations of non-standard units and recognizing the importance of uniform methods for accuracy. They learned to measure length using a centimeter scale and understood the difference between uniform and non-uniform units. Learners also studied various forms of measurement — Length, Weight (Mass), and Capacity — and applied their learning through hands-on activities. They practiced measuring, adding, subtracting, comparing, and converting between units, strengthening both conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. These lessons fostered critical thinking and encouraged real-world application of mathematical concepts.

​Grade III students were introduced to a new and exciting application — MS Word — through an engaging hands-on activity. To begin with, they were asked to write on a sheet of paper and make changes such as altering text colour and formatting. While they enjoyed the activity, they soon realized how much easier and faster it was when the facilitator demonstrated the same task digitally using MS Word.
The students were then introduced to the various components of the Word window and learnt how to create a new document, enter and edit text, save their work, print it, and close the file. They thoroughly enjoyed the practical session, enthusiastically typing their own short passages and experimenting with text styles and colours. The activity not only sparked their interest in digital writing but also helped them understand the importance of using technology for everyday tasks efficiently.

 ​On 31st October 2025, Grade III-A presented an engaging assembly on -The Journey of a Water Droplet, highlighting the water cycle and the importance of conserving water. Through a creative skit, students illustrated how the water cycle works and emphasised its significance in our daily lives. The assembly also featured a lively dance performance and an interactive quiz to make learning enjoyable. The Principal, Ms Jayshree Patel, inspired the students with her encouraging words. The event concluded with the playing of the school and national anthems, leaving everyone motivated to use water responsibly and protect this precious resource.

Embodying SDG 6 Through Movement(Clean Water and Sanitation) 
Dance education opening up new pathways for creativity, empathy, and awareness. Through expressive movement, students expressed themes of water scarcity, hygiene, pollution, and global responsibility. Here's how this integration unfolded in the classroom:                                                                                    1. Exploring Fundamental Movements- Water in Motion- Starting with locomotor and non-locomotor basics like walking, reaching, bending, and stretching, learners explored fluidity as a metaphor for the flow of water. Movement quality became a symbol—cleanliness expressed through light, airy motion, and pollution depicted through heavy, tense dynamics.
2. Movement Qualities & Dynamic Contrast - Energy exploration helped students convey scarcity and abundance, Scarcity: Tight, collapsing shapes. Abundance: Expansive, flowing gestures. These contrasts powerfully illustrated shifts in access to clean water—before-and-after scenarios captured through choreography. 
3. Storytelling Through Dance- Dance became a medium for advocacy as students used gesture and body language to express environmental care and urgency. Simple narrative frameworks were guided to the students to express compositions like: Cause and effect (e.g., contamination and illness) Problem and solution (e.g., sanitation campaigns) cultivating empathy for communities affected by water crisis. 
4. Musicality & Rhythm- Students performed movements that mirrored the rhythm of water—drips, waves, gushing torrents. Pauses and silences were taught as powerful metaphors for scarcity or contamination, encouraging deeper reflection through stillness.   
5.  Students reflected on their learning and connected them directly to SDG 6                                             6. Cultural and Global Relevance- By addressing real-world water issues through dance, students gained perspective on both local and global challenges. Choreographic interpretations highlighted cultural diversity, international action, and community-based solutions—all expressed through powerful movement storytelling.                                                                                                              
​                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

​Student used marble, dripped into the paint and rolling on the paper. Also used inside half-cut pipes, creating colourful curved patterns on paper.  They observed how the marble’s movement forms arcs, spirals, and curves.  Students study the shapes and use their imagination to make a drawing.             

नए शैक्षिक सत्र की शुरुआत बच्चों के आपसी परिचय और संवाद से की गई। बच्चों ने एक-दूसरे की अच्छाइयों को पहचाना और उनसे कुछ सीखने की प्रेरणा ली। साल की थीम ‘Kaizen’ यानी निरंतर सुधार को ध्यान में रखते हुए उन्हें नैतिक मूल्यों और आत्मविकास से जुड़ने के लिए प्रेरित किया गया। भाषा के क्षेत्र में बच्चों ने पढ़ना, लिखना, सुनना और बोलना—चारों कौशलों पर काम किया। उन्होंने भाषा के अलग-अलग रूपों को समझा और रोज़मर्रा की ज़िंदगी में उनकी ज़रूरत को महसूस किया। स्वर, व्यंजन, संयुक्त अक्षर, अनुस्वार और अनुनासिक जैसी अवधारणाओं को मज़ेदार गतिविधियों के ज़रिए सिखाया गया, जैसे 'जादुई थैला' से चीज़ें निकालकर उनके नामों में स्वर-व्यंजन पहचानना। अनुनासिक की ध्वनि को समझने के लिए नाक से आवाज़ निकालकर बोलने और अनुस्वार वाले शब्दों से तुकबंदी करने जैसी गतिविधियाँ करवाई गईं। इससे बच्चों को न केवल मज़ा आया, बल्कि भाषा को गहराई से समझने का मौका भी मिला। साहित्य में ‘खेल-खेल में’ पाठ के ज़रिए बच्चों ने कहानी का भाव समझा और उसे अपने जीवन से जोड़ने की कोशिश की। संज्ञा जैसे व्याकरण के विषयों को भी खेलों के ज़रिए पढ़ाया गया—जैसे बिना नाम बताए चीज़ों का वर्णन करना, जिससे बच्चों को महसूस हुआ कि नाम यानी संज्ञा हमारे जीवन में कितनी अहम है। इसी तरह, गिनती, दिन और महीनों के नाम का महत्त्व बताते हुए चर्चा की गई कि अगर ये चीज़ें न हों तो हमारे जीवन में क्या कठिनाइयाँ आ सकती हैं। इससे बच्चों की सोचने की क्षमता बढ़ी और उन्होंने सवालों पर गहराई से विचार करना सीखा।
पूरे शिक्षण में यह ध्यान रखा गया कि बच्चे केवल रटें नहीं, बल्कि समझें, करें और अनुभव से सीखें। बच्चों को ऐसे माहौल में सिखाया गया, जहाँ वे अपने अनुभव साझा करें, प्रश्न पूछें, रचनात्मक बनें और धीरे-धीरे आत्मनिर्भरता की ओर बढ़ें।    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF_TphWiDyo
