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.

​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।

​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।

HINDI
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
