Toddler’s Fun time…

Warm welcome to Mum and Dad, we are here again to share our little progress. We

animal lovers had great time with our Animal Theme. We had fun with lots of art activities

on our animal theme. Now we are able to recognize no. 3 and 4 with their values with

concept of big and small. As well as counting of numbers 1-30.We took another step

forward towards letter land through letter “c” and “a” with their sound. It was exciting

to deal with pre writing activities. We had a very good time with new and interesting

stories .We enjoyed with our action rhymes like: Baa Baa black Sheep, Old McDonald

had a farm, five little ducks and more and more. Now we are looking forward to have

great time in our new theme.

In the festival mood we are going to start our new theme which is based on “Transport”.

In this we are going to know “what are transports, needs of transport. We are curious to

develop our reorganization of no. 5 and 6 with their values with concept of “In and

out”,along with counting of numbers 1-40. As we had very good time with letter “c” and

“a” , we want to have friendship with more letter land friends through introduction of

letter “d”, ”g” and “l” with their sound. In our pre writing activities we are going to

learn about Standing & Sleeping lines. We always enjoy new and interesting stories .We

are going to learn our new action rhymes on our new theme “Transport”. Few of them arte

as: Wheels on the bus, Mere pass ek cycle hai, Down by the station, Traffic light,

Row you boat and more and more. In this Diwali time we are going to enjoy a lot with

other activities also.

Students of KG-I have learnt different letters

and their sounds. They can identify the first

letter and sound of different pictures and words.

They enjoyed listening to letter land songs and

tracing letters. They learnt to write numbers

from 0 to 10 and enjoyed count and write

Dear Parents,

We welcome you to the monthly News letter of

Grade4.

Students have learnt about “Invaders” under the theme

“Where we are in place and time”. They got the

understanding about the invaders and reflected on

their learning through Power point presentations, chart

work and class room discussions. Connections were

evident as children did research about the different

rulers in India and the impact they left on our country.

As a result of learning about the invaders the students

were enthusiastic to do further research and learnt

about invaders all around the world & discussed about

it.
