ENGLISH
​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.

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.

FABLE FESTIVAL

​“The whole world opened up to me when I learned to read”
- Mary McCleod Bethune
Suncity School 37-D conducted its Annual Reading Programme, ‘Fable Festival’, specially designed for Grade I and II learners. Students were given the opportunity to enhance their reading skills through stories shared by educators. The ‘Fable Festival’, which commenced on 22nd April, spanned almost for an entire month, aiming to cultivate a lifelong love of reading in our little learners.
The Fable Fervour peaked as our young Suncitizens transformed into their beloved characters, adorned in vibrant costumes, and took center stage to deliver heartfelt presentations for the culminating event known as ‘Fable Fervour’. Each child eloquently conveyed how their chosen character inspired them and imparted invaluable lessons. From queens and angels to vehicles and animals, the children embodied a diverse array of personas, bringing the stories vividly to life.
This celebration of stories not only enhanced their comprehension and vocabulary but also fostered creativity and critical thinking in our tiny tots.

During a class discussion, students successfully counted various objects, such as the number of tables and books around them.

Building on this understanding, they learned to compare numbers using the greater than and less than signs, engaging in a fun activity where an alligator "ate" the larger numbers.
