Pre-Primary Assembly on July 14 - Eid Celebration!

In July, we conducted the second assembly of the academic session. It was dedicated to Eid, as part of the month of Ramzan, to familiarize the students with the concept and the spirit of the festival.

The pre-primary teachers presented an informative skit to demonstrate the significant details of Eid, which held the rapt attention of the students. Two students each from all four sections of PP-2 were selected to hold placards and read out lines on Eid, attired in traditional kurta-pyjamas.

The assembly came to a close with a beautiful singing performance by all the students of PP-1, highlighting Eid. Later in the day, dates were distributed as part of the celebration. The assembly proved to be both informative and colourful experience to the students.

Pre-Primary Assembly on June 20 – Fathers' Day Celebration

Ensuring the surge of enthusiasm and energy- that is what the first assembly of the new academic year did. It was very important to the teachers and the students of the pre-primary to kick-off the year with a bang. Therefore, the theme for the assembly was an easy choice, Father’s Day- a celebration that was quite different yet important.

 Invites were sent out to the fathers of the students beforehand and the turn up on the assembly morning was quite big and surprising. The students had eagerly made hand-prints on cards that bore the beautiful lyrics of “You Raise Me Up When I am On Your Shoulders”.

 These souvenirs were distributed to the fathers in the assembly along with ‘My Dad My Hero’ badges. It was truly a moment of pride for the fathers when they received the handiwork of their children as a gift. Students of PP2-A presented two songs dedicated to all the fathers and later, Tvarita Tomer of PP2A and Om Bhogu of PP2-B shared their experiences with their fathers. Our first assembly thus had a little something for everyone to take back.

Teddy Bear Picnic!

Ever since we sent out invites of the Teddy Bear picnic, the students were counting days enthusiastically. Teddy Bear picnic is the first outing of the academic year for pre-primary students. They were taken to KBR National Park to learn more about nature and environment along with having a fun time.

 We set out to the park around 9 am on 11^th July, Friday after a light snack. Excitement was at its peak when the students were showing off their teddy bears to their friends and teachers. A flight of school buses promptly dropped the picnic party at the National Park in Jubilee Hills with the help of teachers and other supporting staff. The 40 minute ride to the park was punctuated by songs that set mood to the trip. The students smartly clad in their caps were happily cuddling their toys throughout the ride.

At the entrance of the park, we were greeted by a flock of pigeons which made the students even more excited. The trip to the park made the children quite hungry, but luckily for the snacks and juice we brought along soon the growling tummies were happy.

After the snacks, we took to walking around the park in groups. The sultry weather could not bring down the excitement as we climbed on top of rocks and up above the tree house. During the nature walk, the students observed the huge trees that gave us shade and also learnt about various animals found in the park. Some lucky ones even spotted peacocks basking in their grandeur.

After the walk, the KOOH Sports team who accompanied us was ready to refresh the children with games like Tisket & Tasket. Packed boxes of rice and parathas were soon served to the students on long carpets, were they sat together to have a perfect picnic lunch. Though tired, the students were hesitant to leave the park and on the bus ride back, all the teachers were met with the same question, “When is our next picnic!?”
