It’s the most wonderful time of the year! We’ve concluded the exciting year of 2021 and have welcomed a new year. The vigour, excitement, and energy of the year gone by had left an everlasting impression on the little ones. “Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven." – Henry Ward Beecher The month of December was an exciting one for all of us. This festive month inspired our tiny tots with the spirit of sharing and caring. Children learnt a lot from the attitude of gratitude by making this month full of joy and charity. To inculcate values and virtues in our children, we encouraged them to participate in ‘Joy of Giving’ a Suncity initiative under project-Uphaar, where they donated blankets for needy people. We concluded our online classes for this year with a Christmas class party where children relished the scrumptious snacks while playing games, sang melodious carols and shook their legs on their favourite Christmas songs. Their eagerness to meet Santa Clause and receive a gift from him brought cheer and warmth to our hearts. CLASS ASSEMBLIES The students of grade I-A, I-B & I-C conducted their weekly assembly in the month of December. Grade I-A presented assembly on the universal theme ‘I am wise’. The children taught the meaning of wise in an interesting way by narrating the story ‘A Wise Fox’ with the help of props and stick puppets. Grade I-B presented their assembly on the topic National Mathematics Day as the day marked the birth anniversary of the mathematical genius Srinavasa Ramanujan. The gleeful festival of Christmas was celebrated with fervour and zeal by Suncitizens of grade1C. The students presented a thought provoking skit which went beyond the information about Santa and St. Nicholas and emphasized the true spirit of Santa, which lay in the joy of giving and helping those who are less fortunate. This was followed by a mesmerizing dance performance which enthralled the audience. The children were filled with joy and excitement as Santa came dancing to the tune of Jingle Bells. MATHEMATICS The students learnt about how to read the ‘Calendar’ and were asked to make the calendar of January 2022 in their notebooks.
