Winter Wonderland-Parent Walk-in

“At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child's success is the positive involvement of parents. - Jane D Hull.
This thought resonated all across Suncity School – 37D on the 6th of December. It was a joyous and a memorable day celebrated by both the students and their parents, through the ‘Parent Walk-in’ under the theme of ‘Winter Wonderland’ ; an event with a novel concept, conducted by the Grade 1 munchkins to showcase the learning process of their acquired conceptual knowledge and understanding. The true ideology of Suncity School – 37D, was reflected through the performances of the children as they strengthened the means of implementing and revitalizing the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG-17). The perpetual learners conducted the ‘Fundraiser’ for the underprivileged children and depicted the true meaning of ‘Joy of Giving’- as the greatest of all virtues. The fun-filled games along with the ‘Cookie Designing’, ‘Christmas Tree Décor’ and ‘Carol Singing’, brought out the real fervour of the winter celebrations. The journey of the parents, which began with the kinaesthetic activities of ‘Frosty Leap’ and ‘Happy Feet’, concluded with the mirth of clicking a ‘Selfie with an Elfie’. Transversal, Interdisciplinary and Thematic learning are the concepts that play an integral part in the learning process, and therefore the scholastic and co-scholastic subjects were evenly integrated throughout the event. The planning was in sync with the ‘Annual theme’-‘Srijan’ meaning ‘Creation’ and the monthly theme ‘Seasons and Festivals’. The event ignited the confidence in the young minds to flip their roles, where they became the teachers and the parent became the learners. Keeping ‘21st Century Skills’ in mind, the focus was concentrated on the skill-building of the children. Through the ‘Parent Walk-in’, the students honed their communication and presentation skills successfully.

The last day before the winter break, was celebrated well with a fun filled class-party. Children danced and enjoyed snacks. They carried the Christmas crafts as a token of love.

​
"When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor; it's to enjoy each step along the way."

We used freestyle body movements along with rhythmic foot movements (tapping and shuffling) to create a new choreography. They were also taught the basic levels of body like plie and releve. It is a good exercise for mind and body coordination, it also improves the body posture. ​
Drama
Story Telling The students actively enjoy listening to stories and imagining a world of their own. In order to enhance their thinking skills and arouse curiousity in terms of all the different ideas that exist in the world, storytelling and enactment through stories like "Alladin in the Modern World", "What if you were a Superhero for a day?" encourage kids to explore the depths of their imagination and define for themselves, a thought process to enhance the teaching learning process on a whole in terms of relating different subjects. The ideas find a way to express themselves through their enactment and understanding of the stories in consideration.
​
Speech and Confidence Building Exercises The clarity of speech and how kids enunciate a word is a crucial point to be taken care of when it comes to expressions and emotions. The correct pronunciation and ability to project the voice without faltering in the speech is something we can only nurture at this budding young age. This change can positively influence their capabilities in terms of listening and speaking, and allow every child an opportunity to develop public speaking skills.

Annual Excursion

“The best education you’ll ever get is by travelling. Nothing teaches you more than exploring the world and accumulating experiences.”-Mark Patterson The word excursion evokes a feeling of excitement and a sense of exhilaration. This year the students of Grades I & II went to ‘Never Enuf Garden Railway’ Manesar, for their annual excursion. The trip aimed at providing the learners an experience outside the school environment and allowed them to observe new things in a completely different setting. ‘Never Enuf’ is the only garden railway in North India brought to life by Mr. Aadesh, a train-modelling enthusiast who has installed his creations in a Lilliput’s world, straight out of a picture book. The exuberant children, bubbling with excitement, got a close experience of a miniature world in an enchanting display of trains, motor-controlled boats and cars in their own small world of houses, industries, and bridges, perfectly syncing with the theme for this month- ‘Transport’ and SDG 9- ‘Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure’. Apart from admiring the miniature rail world, the young ‘Suncitizens’ also learnt about ticket windows, signals, railway crossings and station masters. The children were made aware of, how to deal with emergency situations involving fire escapes and more. The enthralling trip was made even more enjoyable with the scrumptious food, served at the venue. The children prepared DIY crafts and carried them home as souvenirs for their parents. ​

What can be more appropriate for our young Suncitizens, than travelling millions of years back into the world of ‘Dinosaurs’! Suncity School-37D organized an educational field trip for the students of Grade I and II to the Dinosaur Park, a diorama created within the premises of Aria Mall. The exuberant children bubbling with excitement, got a close experience of an ancient living being on land, perfectly syncing with the theme for this month- ‘Animals’ and SDG 15 ‘Life on Land.’ This informative trip not only helped in developing verbal linguistics and visual-spatial learning skills but also helped in inculcating self-management skills in the children. The curious minds learnt about different types of dinosaurs, their physical features, habitat and eating habits. The tactile stimulus of the replicas enabled the children to feel their textures. The learning experience culminated through creative and impressive reflections, displaying the understanding of the children.

NONPAREIL NOVEMBER

12/6/2021

0 Comments

 
​The festive fervor of October gave way to November which called for a wardrobe upgrade as the mornings got cold. Our little ones needed more attention so as not to get caught up with the weather change. Their mornings started with your warm hugs to keep them snug through the day, fueling them for a day filled with positive energy.
 
The early childhood years demand a stimulating environment, with emphasis on exploration, individual attention, free expression, and loads of love and care which we ensure through our Quality Circle Time lessons. The educators created awareness about Guru Purab and Constitution Day during QCT. The children were made aware of the Constitution Day through an age appropriate video, followed by an explanation.  
 
The educators staged an exclusive surprise for all their students. This time it was the teachers who rehearsed and practiced their lines for the assembly to celebrate the precious gems. Yes, the educators brought together a Special Children’s Day assembly beginning with the customary prayer, thought-for-the-day and the news headlines. The children were enthused to see their teachers, dance and sing like kids giving voice to the little child in all of us.
The Children were thrilled to see the Mime act by the Drama teacher. The group song and group dance by the teachers, which included our beloved principal Ma’am too, were the show stoppers of the day and imbued our exceptional audience with great joy. They got their brains tickled through a game of ‘Pehchan Kaun’.

Literature
November gives us a novelty to start afresh after a long mood of the festivities. The joyous clamour of excitement is felt through the routine of the daily routine. The hybrid classes were held with ease and finesse. The children reflected their understanding of adjectives by describing the characters of the story “The Gingerbread Man”, with appropriate describing words.
Reading and Writing

The handwriting practice was exercised for developing the essential fine motor skill and improved handwriting. Their vocabulary was strengthened through the practice of Dolch Word – List 4.

The students were able to distinguish between possessive adjectives, while doing the exercise in the notebook and liveworksheets. Children were endlessly exuberant to showcase their understanding of the concept of adjective through a Show and Tell activity, where they brought a toy or picture related to transport in the class and described it using 3-4 adjectives. The activity was perfectly designed to reinforce the learning of the concept of describing words. The students were able to identify and differentiate between Asking sentences and Telling sentences through the sentence making exercises and writing practices.
