​Dear Parents,
Let's glance through the month of ‘Spectacular September’ 
 ‘The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of a man.’
                                                                                                                         -Charles Darwin
 
Animals are the most wonderful and unique creatures. They not only teach us to be compassionate and empathetic but also help in our social development. Their existence and importance in a child’s learning are of inestimable value. Every animal has a unique life value that impacts kids. Animals appeal to children's curiosity, bring enthusiasm to their learning and enrich their daily experiences. There is no doubt that most children love animals. There is a clear natural affinity between them.
To help our students build a sense of connection, responsibility and enable them to develop love and care towards them, we incorporated ‘Animals’ as the theme of the month.
· The children were introduced to different types of farm animals, pet and wild animals. They enhanced their knowledge about the habitat and young ones of animals.
·  The students were also apprised of various ways of taking care of animals.
· The children enjoyed the virtual tour to a zoo and learnt about the unique features of different animals.
·  They were thrilled to learn the jaw-dropping facts about – African and Asiatic Lions.
· The students were apprised of the concept of the ‘Food Chain’ through a story and a song. The importance of the food chain and different types of food chain were also explained by the educator.

                ‘Growth is the only evidence of life.’
Without continuous growth and progress, words such as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning. Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth. Now, when the children have taken the wings to fly, we don’t want them to stop; instead see them blossom through our theme ‘Growth’.

​At Suncity, we aim to inculcate the ‘Sanskars’ in our young learners through universal values. Through the value of being truthful, children learn to accept their strengths and weaknesses and thereby their failures and achievements. They learnt the value of commitment and being honest towards ourselves and others. A person who is truthful always speaks the truth, shows honest behaviour and is trustworthy. The teacher presented the video of the story ‘Pinocchio’ and discussed the value of always being truthful.

​Our kindergarteners focused largely on understanding letters, sounds, and words. They were delighted to take their first steps towards reading short sentences. They enriched their vocabulary by learning new words. Children were introduced to reading and writing of words with diagraph and blends – ‘ch’ , ‘sh’ , ‘cl’ , ‘bl’, ‘fl’, ‘gl’ and ‘sl’. They also enhanced their reading skills by reading some new sight words.

​जनवरी के महीने में छात्रों को गीत और कहानी के माध्यम से व्यंजन ड़, ज, छ, ह, क्ष और ण का परिचय कराया गया। साथ ही साथ दो अक्षरों से बनने वाले शब्दों का अभ्यास भी कराया गया। अध्यापिका जी ने व्यंजनों को कक्षा में दिखाया और इनसे बनने वाले शब्द भी सिखाये जैसे ज से जहाज, ज से जलेबी, छ से छाता, छ से छत्त, ह से हाथ, ह से हाथी I व्यंजन ‘ड़’ का प्रयोग सड़क शब्द में किया जाता है, व्यंजन ‘क्ष’ का प्रयोग कक्षा शब्द में किया जाता है और व्यंजन ‘ण’ का प्रयोग बाण शब्द में किया जाता है। छात्रों को इन व्यंजनों से बनने वाले शब्द बताये गए अथवा व्यंजनों का अभ्यास कार्य-पुस्तिका में कराया।

​Our little mathematicians are learning to understand the relationships between numbers and recognize how quantities relate to one another.

• They recapitulated the concept of ‘Addition’, ‘Number Names’, ‘Before/After/In between’.
• They were introduced to the concept of ‘Subtraction’ with the help of their fingers, pictures, concrete objects, and by drawing short standing lines.
• To help our students, ace in understanding the position of various objects, we also introduced them to the concept of ‘Left and Right’.

​Visual art helps children represent their thoughts, skills and also help them explore their innate artistic skills creatively.
• In the second week, the educator recapitulated the names of the seven continents through a continent song. Later, children enjoyed making a wall-hanging of the seven continents.
• In the third week, the children revised the features of the continent ‘Asia’ through an activity ‘Me on the map’ in which they detected their location by finding out their Home- City- State- Country and Continent on the map.
• In the fourth week, the educator explained about the continent ‘Australia’ through a ‘Kangaroo Craft’. Children learnt some interesting facts about kangaroos as well.

​Music stimulates the brain in a very powerful way because of our emotional connection with it. It can also improve long term memory and leads to a better brain development. Learning music can improve a child’s social and cognitive skills. 

​Music is spiritual; it also has the power to bring people together. It is a pleasant sound and a combination of melodies and harmony that soothes you. The children practiced the welcome song, ‘आओ आओ संगीत बनाओ’, ‘Vocal Warm-ups’, ‘Instrument Song’, ‘Animal Choir’, ‘Rhythm Clapping’, and नारंगी (narangi) song in Indian Music. 

​The educator introduced a new song, ‘This is the day that the Lord has made’. Children could add new words to their vocabulary through this song and were enthralled to sing along.

‘Dancing stimulates the mind, body & soul. It increases cognitive strengths and prolongs life; that is the miracle of dance.’
Dance is a beautiful form of art that helps us express ourselves and promotes growth as well as enjoyment. During the month, the children attempted warmup exercises and thrilled themselves as they danced to the tune of the song, "Rangla Punjab".
​

​Kinaesthetic learning often includes physical repetition of tasks, which builds muscle memory in children and further boosts retention. Movement can increase energy, which helps children stay focused. It also improves critical thinking, problem-solving skills and most importantly self-confidence. To inculcate the above abilities and to control one's body movements, the children practiced various exercises. Post winter vacation, the classes resumed from the second week wherein children performed the ‘Alphabet Yoga’ exercises from letters A-G along with the educator. During the second week, letters G-J were covered, followed up by letters K-Z in the last week. The Yoga poses helped in bringing co-ordination, balance and flexibility in the children.

​Drama is a unique form of creative expression, and it takes a lot of courage to stand on a stage and speak in front of an audience. It develops creative imagination in children and allows them to think and express themselves independently. Keeping this aim in mind, the educator narrated the following story in this month-
1. ‘छोट़ा संजू’(Chota Sanju) which was followed by questions and answers.

​Stories help in achieving awareness and at the same time, it improves emotional intelligence and control over one’s emotions. While listening and understanding to stories, children subconsciously develop the ability to think for others. This feeling of correlating and concern for others, makes one a better individual. The following stories were taken up by the educator during the month of January:
‘The Clever Tailor’- This story was a beautiful depiction of Indian attires used in the medieval times by the people of the Indian origin. It is an Indian version of the European folktale which was narrated to the children to enhance their understanding on culture and tradition.
‘The Clever Tailor - Activity’– As a recapitulation of the story narrated in the previous week, children drew apparels like (kurta, odni, saafa) mentioned in the story using different lines (standing, sleeping, slanting) and curves (front open, back open, upwards and downwards)
Chintu’s Cap – In the last week of the month, a fun story emphasizing on wisdom and presence of mind was narrated to our smart learners.

​Lohri and Makar Sakranti :
Our youngest enthusiasts of Nursery D and Pre Nursery were thrilled to present their first virtual assembly on ‘Lohri’ and ‘Makar Sankranti’. The educator apprised them of the harvest festivals of India through a video. They were familiarised about the fact that Makar Sankranti marks the beginning of the spring season.

​Republic Day-
“Sare jahan se accha Hindustan hamara, Hum bulbule hai iske , ye gulsita hamara”
Our Kindergarteners celebrated the glory of a free India and upheld the pride and honour of being an Indian. We celebrated 73rd Republic Day of India with great zeal on the virtual platform.
During the assembly, the children showcased the culture and traditions of few states of India. They took pride in presenting their skills. Children also highlighted the importance of few rights which are mentioned in the Constitution of India. In the end, our little enthusiasts presented a scintillating dance performance and National Anthem which filled the environment with the spirit of patriotism. It was indeed a spectacular assembly.

Theme: Aquatic Life
 
Our goal for this month was to make children familiar with a large variety of ocean-dwelling animals. By understanding how everything is connected in the sea and ocean and how we interact with it as humans, children learnt to care and to protect the ocean as in the future they would want the Marine life to be a better place. They also learnt to identify the features of different sea animals. 

​Universal Value- I am Tolerant
Being aware of one's values helps us understand and direct our attitudes and behaviours. Our little masterminds were made aware of the universal value, “I am Tolerant” wherein they were explained about a few important values like - taking ownership of their feelings, respecting individual differences, being sensitive to the language they choose, through video demonstrations. They were made to understand that being tolerant removes one's self-imposed barriers and allows us to think broadly and enjoy greater inner peace. Children were encouraged to share their thoughts with their peers and educators through positive affirmations about how can they implement this universal value in their lives.

​Verbal Linguistic-English
Encouraging young children to engage in reading helps them develop into confident and independent learners. We encouraged children to start reading sight words that further helps in promoting reading comprehension. Children practiced reading sight words like after, going, with, make etc. Our little learners assimilated the concept of ‘rhyming words’ and practiced reading and writing words with the help of interactive worksheets. The reading practice of ‘u’ vowel CVC words was also done through web links.

​Verbal Linguistic-Hindi                   
व्यंजन गीत और कहानी के माध्यम से व्यंजन ब, क, र, स, य, थ का परिचय दिया गया। अध्यापिका जी ने बच्चों को इन अक्षरों से शुरू होने वाले अनेक नए शब्द सिखाये और साथ ही साथ बच्चों को भी कुछ और शब्दों को बताने के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया। बच्चों ने भी रोजमर्रा में प्रयोग होने वाले अनेक नए शब्दों को बताया व अपना भाषा ज्ञान बढ़ाया। भाषा विकास एक मजबूत संचार प्रक्रिया की नींव रखता है । इसलिए सनसिटी के छात्रों ने भाषाई कौशल को बढ़ाने के लिए नए व्यंजन ‘ख’, ‘श’, ‘ग’, ‘म’, ‘भ’, ‘त’ सीखे और अपनी शब्दावली को बढ़ाने के लिए शब्दों के माध्यम से इनका उपयोग करना सीखा। उन्होंने इन व्यंजनो को लिखने का अभ्यास भी किया और संबंधित शब्दावली चित्र बनाने भी सीखे । इतना ही नहीं, उन्होंने व्यंजन को जोड़कर दो अक्षर के शब्द बनाना भी सीखा ।

​Logical/Mathematical Intelligence
As children mature, their development of mathematical concepts continues. We take a creative approach to teach cognitive skills to children. Colourful and interactive activities encouraged the children to learn essential math concepts in a fun way.

• The Bundle concept was demonstrated using concrete objects like popsicle sticks, pencils, crayons, etc.
• Backward counting was introduced from 50-1 along with oral and written practice.

• The concept of ‘More or less’ was explained through an activity where countable and uncountable real-time objects were shown and children were asked to predict, simply to enhance their practical knowledge.
• Comparison of numbers was emphasized through Charlie the crocodile story and an online game. The concept was reinforced through a worksheet.
• The Concept of time – O'clock was introduced through a video demonstration and clock-making activity to give a basic understanding of time.

​Celebrations:
​Every child is super excited about his/her birthday. Keeping up this spirit, the
birthdays of children born in the month of November were celebrated with
their friends and teachers virtually. A ‘show and tell’ activity took place based on
the theme, ‘Aquatic world’. Children dressed as Aquatic animals along with
coordinated props for this much awaited and loved event. They eagerly waited for their turns to share their knowledge with friends and reiterated the basic etiquettes to be adopted while attending a birthday party.

​Science Week
 
 The children conducted experiments for Air and water. They were thrilled to see the pom pom jumping as they blew air through a straw in a half-cut bottle. Through this experiment, they understood the fact that air exerts pressure. The process of formation of rain was done by using warm water and closing it with a lid. This was a visual treat for the children and it enhanced their understanding of the process of the water cycle.

​Project Hariyali Phase 2
 
Project Hariyali is an initiative taken by Suncity school to plant more and more trees with the belief that - if you nurture them today, they will nurture you tomorrow. As a part of this initiative, our little suncitizens experienced how to make organic cocopeat at home using coconut coir, mud and water. The educator briefed the little ones about the benefits of cocopeat. In addition to this, They were also shown a picture of the lemongrass plant and were encouraged to include a lemongrass plant in their homes owing to its health benefits and excellent feature of repelling mosquitoes.

​Naturalistic Intelligence
 
Festive season is the most joyous time of the year for everyone. Every festival has its own importance and meaning. Every festival brings happiness and
harmony between our traditions and rituals. It is important to teach
children the importance of celebrating festivals. Our growing kids should be taught the true meaning of rituals, culture, and devotion of festivals. Celebrating festivals with everyone can help your kids to meet and greet everyone as well as they can learn the importance of togetherness. Traditional cuisine encourages the joy of celebrations during the festive time.

• Our little children learnt about a variety of foods served during different festivals. Children enjoyed making Pippirana, a Spanish salad prepared during ‘La Tomatina’.
• Children were explained the importance of food preservation and how different food items can be preserved. They were also made aware of the methods to preserve sweets during festivals.
• The educator sensitized the children on the safety measures to be kept in mind while celebrating festivals.

​Musical Intelligence: Music plays a very important part in the child’s development. Exposure to music from early childhood onward helps children to speak more clearly, develops a larger vocabulary, and strengthens social and emotional skills.
Indian Music
●  Children attempted vocal warmups and rhythm clapping.
●  Children practiced singing the welcome song, prayers, and animal choirs along              with  the educator.
●   Children practiced singing the diwali song- ‘मन में दीप जलायें, ख़ुशियाँ फैलायें।

Here is a concise overview of activities done by the students in the month of September 2021.
 
Theme and Naturalistic-September
 
Learning about empathy, relationships, the environment and nature are just some of the benefits children receive by caring for animals. Animals appeal to children's curiosity, bring enthusiasm to their learning and enrich their daily experiences. There is no doubt that most children love animals. From the earliest age, learning the names of animals and their sounds are a key first language skill and many children’s toys and favourite characters are based on animals throughout childhood. There is a clear natural affinity between them. This month children enjoyed learning about the animals which included farm, pet and wild animals. They were also introduced to the concept of food chain

• The children were introduced to different Farm animals, their young ones and homes through discussion, audio-visuals and PPTs. The educator also described how these animals are useful.

Universal Value- ‘I am Compassion’
 
Compassion is empathy, caring in action, and willingness to help others. Compassion sensitize people towards the sufferings of others and motivates them to go out of their way to help the physical, mental, or emotional griefs of another and themselves. Children were briefed about empathy, concern, and active compassion. Educator also discussed several ways in which children can show compassion (by saying encouraging words, sharing a hug or handshake, offering to help someone, motivating others, etc.).In one of the naturalistic sessions, the educator also discussed the importance and ways of taking care of animals and presented a video about being kind to animals.

 Naturalistic Intelligence

• SDG-Clean water and sanitation

Children were briefed on keeping the water bodies and their surroundings clean. Water sanitation and significance of clean water in our daily lives and for all the living beings were elaborated through visual presentations. An experiment was conducted to find out a simple way to purify dirty water, the learning was to share that cleaning a glass of water takes so much time then how much time it would take to clean polluted rivers and seas .[1]  Through this experiment, we highlighted our SDG of the month ‘clean water and sanitation’.
 

• Animals

The educator shared the importance of taking care of animals. A story video was shown about being kind to animals incorporating the monthly value – I am compassionate. Later, the educator asked the students to sort the animals as per the following categories-Pet, Farm and Wild.
 

• Flameless Cooking

The children celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi. They made Modaks from desiccated coconut and condensed milk and served it as Prasad to their family members.

Verbal Linguistic Intelligence–English 
Children  won half the battle in getting their foundation strong by learning the phonetic sounds from‘a-y’ along with their related vocabulary. They were able to recognize and write letters from ‘R r to Y y’ correctly. These letters were introduced through jolly phonics songs and flashcards of their related vocabulary words with the help of PowerPoint Presentations. Sight words play a key role in upskilling them to read short sentences. Children also attempted to read the ‘en’, ‘ed’ and ‘et’ stories from their English Reader book and also recapitulated vowel ‘a’ short stories.

Verbal Linguistic Intelligence–Hindi
सितम्बर माह में छात्रों को व्यंजन गीत और कहानी प्रस्तुति के माध्यम से व्यंजन ट, ठ, ढ, द, प ,ष और फ का परिचय दिया गया। अध्यापिका जी ने बच्चों को इन अक्षरों से शुरू होने वाले अनेक नए शब्द सिखाये और साथ ही साथ बच्चों को भी कुछ और शब्दों को बताने के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया अथवा व्यंजनों का अभ्यास कार्य-पुस्तिका में कराया।

Logical Mathematical Intelligence
Stimulation of logical-mathematical intelligence promotes cognitive development, especially in terms of logical thinking, reasoning, problem, solving, and concentration. Our approach of integration through abacus has helped the children understand the concept of tens and ones, hence they are able to orally count and write till 100 as per the correct place value.
​
Children got the opportunity to learn new concepts viz.- backward counting from 30-1, what comes before, after, and in between. These concepts were made fun by associating with an activity where the kids were guided by the educator to create the ‘Wormy Apple strips’. Their ongoing learning process in linguistic skills has helped them to link numerals with their names. They learned to recognize number names up till ‘Six’.

Visual-Spatial Intelligence
Art is a creative therapy which involves visual movements, imagination skills, aesthetic skills, and finger dexterity. Children gained these skills with the help of various colouring and craft activities.

• In the first week, children enjoyed making a ‘Lion mask’ related the letter ‘Ll and wild animals.
• In the second week, children made the ‘Cow Head Gear’ using Shape cut-outs (Integration with Theme of Farm animals and Logical Math)

Dance
Dance is a way for kids to express their creativity, imagination, and emotions. During the month, the children did warm up exercises and danced to the tunes of the song, ‘It’s a Dance party everybody make your body dance’.

Bodily Kinaesthetic Intelligence
Bodily kinaesthetic intelligence highlights a person’s ability to use their whole body for expression and understanding. People who possess this intelligence are highly aware of their bodies and use the same for controlling their bodily motions. Children performed the yoga exercises (tree pose, warrior pose, lotus pose, cobra pose) during the first week followed up by superhero exercises in the second week. During the third and fourth week, a variety of exercises such as on the spot jogging, side bending, stretching, frog jump etc. were performed by the children along with the educator to build muscular strength and have an active body.

Drama
Drama promotes communication skills, teamwork and dialogue delivery. It stimulates the imagination and creativity in a child and also develops a better understanding of human behaviour and empathy with distant situations. Kids enacted to the various expressions and feelings in stories like चालाककुम्हार’ and‘कंजूसआदमी’ in the first and second week respectively followed by a role play activity of ‘copy cats’ in the third week through facial expressions and actions.

Storytelling
The month started with an insightful and motivational story from the life of Gautam Buddha who believed in truthfulness and wisdom. In those days, cats were considered to be sinful animals. So, the story narrated in the first week of the month was titled ‘For the love of a cat’ (an Indian folk tale) which talked about the love and dedication of this animal towards its master and which totally changed the perception of the people towards this animal in those days followed by few cat activities in the second week. ‘Pranav’s picture’ a short and fun story by Nandini Nayar (author of several children’s books) was narrated along with the story re- telling activity by the children in the third week and an inspirational story based on the short incidents in ‘Kasturba Gandhi’s life was narrated in the last week of the month.
