In October, Grade 1 students made significant progress in developing their communication skills. Literature - They grasped the concept of alphabetical order in a dictionary, engaged in read aloud exercises from Unit 6 'Toys,' and expanded their vocabulary by recording 'Amazing Words' in their notebooks. The chapter-end exercises were conducted interactively in which both students and the teacher collaborated to discover the correct answers. An exciting 'My First Dictionary' activity encouraged students to create their own colourful visual dictionaries. Speaking - To enhance their public speaking abilities, a 'Show and Tell' session was organized, where children enthusiastically shared information about their favourite toys. Grammar - They also demonstrated an understanding of demonstrative pronouns such as 'this,' 'that,' 'these,' and 'those' through a presentation, after which our young learners express their ideas related to the topic. Additionally, they learned to differentiate between 'Asking and Telling sentences.' Students further developed their reading skills by identifying common blends, words ending with -ff, -ss, and -ll, which contributed to improved fluency in reading the text. Furthermore, they were made aware of Dolch words list III followed by the notebook task. Overall, it was a month of exciting and valuable learning experiences, allowing the students to grow and improve their skills with each passing day.

This month, first graders set off on an adventure, starting with “My House.” Through a fun story session, they learned what makes a house special and discovered the different types of homes, like pakka and kaccha houses. With hands-on materials like sticks and cement, they saw firsthand how houses are built and understood why keeping them safe matters. Moving on to “My Neighbourhood,” the kids explored all the key places that make up a community — hospitals, parks, and more — and thought about what it means to be a good neighbour. They began to see how each place serves a purpose in daily life. Next up was “My School” A school tour introduced them to different rooms and departments, where they learned the do’s and don’ts that make their school a welcoming space. This exploration helped them see the school as their own special place to grow and learn. Finally, “People Who Help Us” brought an extra bit of excitement with a mystery box game! The students guessed professions based on items like a stethoscope and a pen, uncovering how different occupations support our lives. The month wrapped up with a lively quiz and an unforgettable trip to So Good Farm, where the kids enjoyed nature and reflected on all their new discoveries. It was a month packed with fun, learning, and unforgettablemoments!

Through simple activities, students learned how a happy heart connects to having a positive mindset and shared things they feel grateful for. The session encouraged children to practice kindness and appreciation, building a warm, positive atmosphere in the classroom
FIELD TRIP
"Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment." - Dr. Maria Montessori On October 21st, 2024, students of Grade I and II embarked on an exciting educational trip to ‘Sow Good Farm’ in New Delhi. Surrounded by a lush variety of plants, including fruits like papaya, custard apple and guava, vegetables like brinjal, radish and spinach and herbs like basil and mint. The children eagerly connected their prior knowledge to identify and learn about different types of ‘Plants.’ This trip was a key part of Suncity School's innovative TASK approach (Trip, Application, Skill, and Knowledge), fostering hands-on learning and real-world connections. At Sow Good Farm, students discovered creative recycling methods using everyday items like tires, CDs, baskets, and drums. This interactive experience reinforced the 3 R's—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle —and its significance in achieving SDG-13 (Climate Action). Back in the classroom, the students reflected on their overall learning, demonstrating a deeper understanding of environmental responsibility. We are proud of our little explorers for embracing sustainability and taking the first steps towards a greener tomorrow!
MATHEMATICS
Students were introduced to the concept of 'Subtraction,' helping them understand how to take away objects from a group to find the difference. Vocabulary cards were used to familiarize them with key 'Subtraction terms,' while visual aids like drawings helped them visualize the subtraction process. The concept was taught using two methods: utilizing a number line and counting backward to determine the difference between two numbers. Additionally, students engaged with the SEP module, which enhanced their logical and analytical skills. Their understanding of 'Addition' was also assessed through a revision worksheet.

Literature: August's theme revolved around 'Plants,' with the children diving into Unit 4, which centered on 'Growing Beans.' The lesson kicked off with a poem that linked the topic to the students' prior knowledge. Students were encouraged to let their imaginations run wild as they created their own 'My Garden' drawings. A video was shown to explain the various parts of a plant, and the children participated in a 'Jigsaw Puzzle' activity where they assembled the plant parts in the correct order. Key vocabulary from the chapter was carefully noted, and the end-of-chapter exercises were made engaging by encouraging collaborative brainstorming between students and the teacher.
Grammar: To introduce action words (verbs), we organized a lively 'Spin the Wheel' activity, where each student eagerly awaited their turn. We also added a creative twist to the traditional 'Dumb Charades' game, having students act out verbs while their classmates guessed the correct words. To solidify their understanding, students completed exercises in their notebooks. Additionally, Dolch Words List 1 was presented to help enhance their vocabulary.
By incorporating interactive games, creative tasks, and visual tools like mind maps and videos, we created an enjoyable and effective learning environment for the students.

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
August brought an exciting exploration of plants for the students. It began with a hands-on introduction, where a real plant sparked curiosity as they guessed its name and parts, setting the stage for deeper learning.
Students then explored plant parts and functions. Through a captivating story, they learned about shrubs, herbs, climbers, creepers, and trees. This lesson was integrated with their English subject, making the learning both enjoyable and educational as they expanded their vocabulary while discovering different types of plants. They followed this with a work task on page 15 of the SDG book.
A 'Mystery box' activity allowed students to uncover plant-based products like food and paper, enhancing their awareness of plants in daily life. Germination was brought to life with a hands-on planting activity, giving them a firsthand understanding of growth. The month ended with an engaging quiz to recap what the students had covered so far.

DRAMA
In our recent drama sessions, our young performers from grades 1 and 2 have embarked on an exciting journey of storytelling and creative expression. These activities not only foster imagination but also build essential skills like sequencing and spatial awareness.
Story Sequencing: Connecting the Dots in Our Tales
Activity 1: - One of the core elements of our drama curriculum is the ability to understand and create a well-structured story. Story sequencing is a fundamental skill that helps students comprehend the beginning, middle, and end of a narrative.
Activity 2: - During our sessions, the students were introduced to simple stories where they had to arrange the events in the correct order. This exercise encouraged them to think critically about what makes a story coherent and engaging.
To make this activity more dynamic, we incorporated role-play. Each student took turns acting out different parts of the story. By physically engaging with the story, they could better grasp the sequence of events and understand how each part connects to the next.
Mapping India with Our Bodies: A Dramatic Exploration
Activity 3: - In another thrilling activity, our students learned to express the shape of India through body gestures and movement. This exercise was not only about understanding geography but also about using the body as a tool for artistic expression. The children were divided into groups, and each group was tasked with forming different regions of India using their bodies.
This activity required teamwork, spatial awareness, and a deep understanding of the country's geography. As the students worked together to form the map, they also explored the diverse cultural and physical landscapes of India. By embodying the map, they could connect more personally with the concept of our nation, making the learning experience both physical and emotional.
Dramatic Understanding: Beyond the Script
Both activities were designed to enhance our students' dramatic understanding. Through story sequencing, they learned the importance of structure in storytelling, while the body mapping exercise taught them how to use their bodies creatively to convey complex ideas. These skills are essential not only in drama but in many areas of life, helping students develop a deeper sense of empathy, collaboration, and expression.
ART

LIFE SKILLS
The module for November covered the Theme: Friendship. Making friends means finding people you enjoy spending time with. It's like starting an adventure where you say hello, ask about their favorite things, and be friendly. When you show kindness and interest in others, you can make wonderful new friends. In the "The Matching Game," each child was provided with a sheet of a particular color. The objective was for the children to find and team up with others who possess the same colored sheet.They needed to search around, say hello, and, upon finding a match, form a small group or pair. This game was an excellent way to foster social interaction, cooperation, and color recognition skills. Students were encouraged to think about how they feel when they have friends, how does being around their friends make them feel? The Friendship Awards activity was significant because it enabled children to develop social skills, encourages their creativity, and reinforces the importance of friendship. It's a hands-on opportunity for kids to express their feelings, show appreciation, and establish new connections.
WINTER WONDERLAND
“Anything that is worth teaching can be presented in many different ways. These multiple ways can make use of our multiple intelligences.”
-Howard Gardner
In alignment with Suncity’s enduring motto, 'Sadaiva Agrani’, the scholars of Grade I, orchestrated yet another captivating event titled 'Winter Wonderland’ as a part of the ‘Annual Parent Walk-in’ programme.
The ‘Winter Wonderland’ was an enchanting showcase of children's talents and ‘Multiple Intelligences’, all wrapped in the spirit of the festive season. As parents entered, they were greeted by a harmonious choir which filled the air with the melody of ‘Christmas Carols.’ Groups of children showcased their dancing prowess, embodying the essence of the festive season with graceful movements, tapping into their ‘Bodily-Kinaesthetic Intelligence.’ Stepping into the ‘STEM’ counter, parents were amazed as children demonstrated the intricate process of crafting snow globes, intertwining creativity and scientific concepts. The young minds eagerly explained each step, from selecting materials to creating the magical wintry scene within the globes and explained the science behind the same.
At the interactive stalls, children engaged enthusiastically with parents, each stall representing a different facet of intelligence. Children confidently interacted with the parents, guiding them through activities that tapped into linguistic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligences.
At the ‘Design the Dessert’ counter, parents unleashed their creativity by decorating cookies with colourful icing, adhesive and sprinkles. Laughter and joy filled the room as families bonded over their culinary creations, tapping into their spatial intelligence.
A lively game corner, titled 'Sheet Ritu Ki Masti Shala,' echoed with laughter as parents and children engaged in games fostering a sense of joyous camaraderie. The 'Joy of Giving' station touched hearts as families immersed themselves in the spirit of generosity, sharing and participating in charity, reinforcing the values of empathy and social responsibility.
The ‘Winter Wonderland’ wasn't just a showcase of talents but a celebration of the diverse intelligences present in every child and parent, fostering an atmosphere of celebration, learning, and community involvement, all wrapped in the magic of the ‘Winter Season!’
