Animal Parade
“Animals should not require our permission to live on Earth. Animals were given the right to be here long before we arrived”
Animals play a vital role in the lives of the little ones. Children love animals for the very simple reason that they connect with them without any expectations or outcomes but purely with love and care. They are fascinated by their body structures, fur and the different sounds they make and love imitating them.
In Nursery during the ongoing theme ‘I love animals’, an animal parade was conducted. This showcased the understanding students had of the various animals, their observations and without fail the wonderful homemade costumes! Students came dressed as their favorite animal and went for a parade around the school singing slogans and playing various musical instruments. Post that, they spoke a few words on the animal that they were depicting within their classrooms.
The enthusiasm and cheering with which the little ones were received in the Primary corridors during the parade was endearing. It was clearly visible that it was a fun-filled learning experience for the tiny tots.

Sports enthusiast as we are, the simpler games of childhood are oft forgotten. A chance to relive the memories of times before the advent of “screen” games was presented by the PRG of grades 1 to 5. The ‘sporty’ carnival was aptly called, “Khel Khel Mein”.
Grandparents, parents and children indulged themselves playing chain-chain, pithu (seven stones), tug of war, stapu, langdi tang, basket-ball, blind fold, dodgeball, musical arms, bucket & ball, dog-in-the-bone, various fun races like catwalk, dress-up, 3-legged, sack, balloon, skipping, running and relay. In fact, one Grandparent scored a perfect score in a single turn at the bucket & ball game. It was heartening to see the Grandparents skipping along with their children smiling and cheering all.
Khel Khel Mein created happy smiling memories and brought smiles to everyone.

The Early Years celebrated Mother’s Day with heart-warming activities that honoured the special bond between mothers and their children. The day began with an energetic music and movement session, setting a lively tone for the event. Indoors, children joyfully sang rhymes and songs they had practised in their homerooms, delighting their mothers with their heartfelt performances. A fun and engaging voice recognition game brought laughter and affectionate smiles as mothers tried to identify their child’s voice.
