The month began with an introduction to and understanding of plants, as well as the various parts of plants. Our young learners also conducted an activity on germination to observe the different stages of this process. The concept became clearer through diagrams illustrating the shoot system and root system of a plant. To enhance their understanding, students were taken on a nature walk where they had the opportunity to observe different types of roots, leaves, and stems in nature and recorded their observations. They did the leaf printing activity to deeply understand the parts of plants. Students brought the seeds and presented them in the class and highlighted the benefits of using them in our diet. https://youtu.be/P1LH1C_HGTY?feature=shared They further delved into the topic of soil, where they learned about various soil types.

Gradually they understood Sanskrit lyrics with meaning and musicality along with dance moves and hast mudras of classical dance.
