Good nutrition is an important part of leading a healthy life style. To create an awareness of healthy food and dietary habits, ‘Health Food Fiesta’ was organised in the Pre-Primary section. Teachers explained the importance of eating the right kind of food, in order to grow healthy and strong. Children were encouraged to eat nutritious foods like fruit salad, vegetable salad and leafy vegetable preparations.
Some healthy snacks like Aloo Chaat and Corn Bhel were also prepared. Junior KG children brought boiled potatoes for peeling and Senior KG children brought boiled corn kernels. They wore their aprons and put on their chef caps to prepare delicious recipes like aloo chaat and corn bhel. The hands-on activity of non-flame cooking introduced the children to the process and the ingredients used to make the dish. It was a fun learning experience for the little ones who enjoyed the activity.

17/09/2019: Field Trip to Ganesh Temple
The students of Junior and Senior KG were taken on a field trip to the nearby Ganesh temple in the vicinity of Bandra. Accompanied by the coordinator, teachers, and maushis, the bus echoed with “Ganpati Bappa Morya”, creating an exciting and blissful environment. Children offered flowers, coconut and bananas, to the deity, in the temple. They sang aartis, chanted shlokas and offered prayers to Lord Ganesha. Visitors present in the temple were overwhelmed with this gesture of the little ones and enquired about the school they were from. Prasad was given to all the children. The trip indeed was very purposeful and will surely encourage our tiny tots to function harmoniously in a multicultural society.

Recognition and identification of colours is an important part of a child’s learning experience. Early identification of colours helps to create the cognitive link between visual clues and words which is an important part of a child’s holistic development. To help them identify and differentiate various colours ‘Colour Week’ was observed by the Nursery section. The teacher and children came dressed in colourful attire in the respective colour of the day. The classroom was beautifully decorated according to the colour of the day, with displays of cutouts, black board drawings and mobile hangings. The teacher collected objects from the children according to the colour day, displayed them on a table and taught the names of the objects to the children. Different creative activities like colouring, sponge and cotton dabbing, tearing and sticking were conducted as per the colour of the day. The children enjoyed the activities to the fullest. It was an amazing learning experience which had a long lasting effect on them.
