Dear Parents,
Thank you, for your enthusiastic participation in making the ‘Parent and me’
day exciting and successful.

Following Shayan’s presentation, we had Kangana entertaining her friends with
a puppet show this week.
I regret to inform that this week’s newsletter will have lesser
number of pictures due to a technical fault.
In Literacy this week we focused on revising
the sounds done so far. We did so by playing
matching games. The children can been seen
quizzing their friends and enjoying playing this
game during their free play.
We also moved on to the next sound ‘i’. The children wanted to make a
mobile of an insect and came with ideas of making a (spider) insect with cut
out of their palm prints.
It was truly a pleasure to see the children thinking of activities for the
sounds.
Tricky word for this week-

In Numeracy apart from writing the number
4, we concentrated on the 4 basic shapes and
tried to understand their properties. We then
played a hopping game based on the 4 shapes.
The students had to jump on the shape called
out by their teacher of friends. The kids
thoroughly enjoyed the game and even wanted
their teachers to have a go at it
Shayan and Mayra sticking pre cut
shapes in their math note books.

In UOI this week we spoke of relationships
and responsibilities and read a variety of books
on families and the responsibilities and roles of
family members.
Firstly we read the book ‘All kinds of People’ by Emma Damon to
understand that people are of many types and have different likes and
dislikes. After reading this book the students interviewed each other
about what they like and do not like. They were surprised to find
out that their friends had preferences which very different from
their own. This helped made them think and understand that it’s not
always necessary “that our friends have to be just like us” (as said by
most of the students)
We then read the book ‘My Family’ by Jim Pipe which talks about the
members of a family, following which the children drew pictures of
their family. Some children even drew a family tree.
The book ‘Can I help’ by Alvin Granowsky made the children think and
reflect on how do they help their parents at home.
And finally the books ‘There is a new baby at home’ by Sumathi
Sudhakar and ‘New Brothers and Sisters’ by Elizabeth Raum made the
children share their experiences about how they feel sharing their
toys, goodies and most importantly they parents with siblings. We also
brainstormed about the roles and responsibilities we have in our
homes.
