Everyone dropped all their routine work and dedicated the time for extra reading. During this one hour, the entire school became a big reading room. The DEAR activity was once again organised to instill reading habit among the students and staff members and make the whole school dedicated sometime for reading, keeping everything aside.
Report Card Activity
Kindergarteners are often enthusiastic writers and they will leave writing activities into their play. It was evident while the students were writing the theme based page of the report card on 28th November. The budding writers cherished the words and note them down with the invented spelling that is normal at this age as children are translating th the e sounds of words into writing.
Children participated earnestly in the activity and their canvas segments were seen adorned with colourful images straight from their imaginations of the theme. Doremon, Thor, Barbie Doll, Tom and Jerry all were re detailed with the beautiful writing piece about “My favourite avourite cartoon character�.
The class 2 buddies cherished their memories in the Tiny Tots and shared their observations through words and all it was appreciating. The activity inspired the children to think creatively and to develop their compatibility in writing as writing makes thoughts visible.
Kindergarten Keepsakes Keepsakes!
Here are my hands with ten little fingers in all. My mark in kindergarten to hang on the wall. As years go by, I will remember and say “ My hands and I had a very good day!�
It’s Christmas Time! “It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the Air.”
This is the time when the world remembers the Messenger of God who gave the message of love and compassion to humanity. Christmas is in the air. A Special Assembly was conducted by Tiny Tots on this occasion. The assembly was commenced with school prayer.

Little Authors! Once upon a time there was a big village. There were many farms, orchards, rivers and trees. But other villagers were getting jealous of them. They came to cut all orchards and trees. But a boy who wanted to save trees came in front of them. He said to them hey if you will cut these trees it will be DANGEROUS! But they didn’t stop. They said to boy get away otherwise we will kill you. They pulled out their guns and killed him. Then they attacked the trees. After sometime they finished their work. But after a second they couldn’t breathe. And they died.
Butterfly butterfly come to me, I will teach you how to be funny. It’s fun to make people laugh, And make them happy with your talk. When you will learn how to be gay, You will come to me and say, I love you for what you teach me, It made me what was meant to be. Abu-Baker II D
