In Western Music, children were introduced to a new and fascinating musical instrument—the Violin. They were amazed to learn how the instrument produces melodious sounds by drawing a bow across its strings.
Through discussion and demonstration, they discovered how the violin plays an important role in orchestras and various musical genres. This introduction sparked curiosity and appreciation for global music traditions, nurturing a love for exploring sounds beyond their familiar tunes.
Sandpaper Letters – Vyanjan ‘य’, ‘र’ and ‘स’
Children explored the sandpaper letters to learn the Hindi vyanjan ‘य’, ‘र’, and ‘स’. This Montessori material is designed to strengthen both muscular and visual memory, helping children recognise and form letters accurately.
Using a multisensory approach—through touch (tactile), hearing (auditory), and sight (visual)—children traced the rough surface of each letter with their fingers while saying its sound aloud. This activity built a strong foundation for writing and language development, encouraging precision and reinforcing letter-sound association in a joyful, sensory-rich way.
Large Movable Alphabet Box – ‘i’ Family CVC Words
The large movable alphabet box helped children take their early literacy skills a step further by forming ‘i’ family CVC words such as lip, bin, pin, and big. Manipulating the individual letters encouraged phonetic awareness, spelling practice, and word construction through hands-on exploration.
Drama continued to be a wonderful medium for creative expression this October. It allowed children to use their imagination, express emotions freely, and build confidence while working as a team.
Children imagined different situations and recreated their visual representations through dramatic images—like sitting under clouds, being surrounded by flowers, or walking in the jungle. These activities encouraged them to think creatively and use body language to convey emotions and settings without words.
They also engaged in voice modulation exercises through songs and rhymes, which helped strengthen their vocal control, clarity, and expression. These playful yet purposeful exercises supported their language development and confidence in speaking before an audience.
As part of the Diwali celebration, the class created beautiful decorative tiles featuring the ‘स्वस्तिक सत्य’ sign. The Swastik is a traditional symbol that represents good luck, prosperity, and positivity, while ‘Satya’ stands for truth and purity
In the pottery class, the students made ‘ख से खग’, meaning ‘Bird from the letter ख’. Using clay, they shaped and decorated beautiful birds, connecting their creative work with the Hindi alphabet
In October, children expressed their joy and festive spirit through lively dance sessions that blended rhythm, emotion, and movement. Dance continued to serve as a creative outlet, helping children develop coordination, balance, and confidence, while experiencing the joy of self-expression.
The little dancers felt joyous as they moved their tiny feet to the melodious songs “आई दिवाली” and “सद्गुरु नानक आए हैं”. Through graceful movements and cheerful expressions, they celebrated the festivals of Diwali and Guru Nanak Jayanti with enthusiasm and devotion.
Children enjoyed targeting a cone with a frisbee, using the correct arm stance to improve aim and precision. They also practised striking a bowling pin with a big ball, learning how to apply strength and direction effectively.
These engaging activities not only enhanced their hand–eye coordination and motor skills but also built confidence, balance, and spatial awareness, making movement-based learning both fun and purposeful.
“Life is like skating—you fall, you rise, and you glide forward with balance.”
Skating is a wonderful blend of fun, fitness, and learning that helps children grow physically, mentally, and socially. Throughout the month, our young skaters eagerly participated in sessions that enhanced their coordination, movement, and self-assurance.
The practice emphasised key foundational skills:
• Balance Development: Children started by carefully walking in their skates to strengthen balance and stability.
• Confidence Building: With gentle guidance and hand support, they gradually learned to roll independently, gaining trust in their own abilities.
This month, children were narrated an interesting story “सो जा उल्लू”. It’s a playful journey into the world of sounds that animals make. As the narrative unfolds, young listeners are introduced to a variety of animals and the unique sounds they create.
The story beautifully highlights animals and their Hindi names like-
हिरण – खटर खटर
नीलकंठ – टेऊँ टेऊँ
गिलहरी – कुटर कुटर
मधुमक्खी – भिन भिन
Each animal’s sound in ‘सो जा उल्लू’is more than just a noise—its a tool that enhances the storytelling experience. By associating animals with their sounds, children not only learn new words but also engage their auditory senses, making the story more immersive and memorable.
Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world.” This thought beautifully reflects the spirit of our Imaginarium, where creativity takes centre stage.
Our young learners enthusiastically explored various thematic stations such as the grooming corner, shopping area, kitchen, play gym, and fire station. These engaging setups allowed children to step into imaginative roles while enhancing their creativity, fine motor skills, and spatial awareness.
The Imaginarium provides a space where imagination leads learning—encouraging problem-solving, teamwork, and real-world understanding through pretend play. Such experiences nurture curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love for learning beyond the classroom.
Playtime at the EYP play area was filled with laughter, energy, and discovery! Our young learners eagerly explored the space, climbing, sliding, and swinging their way through a morning of joyful activity. The slides brought endless giggles, the swings made them feel like they were flying, and the rope wall climber inspired courage and determination.
Beyond fun and movement, this playtime nurtured important life skills—confidence, teamwork, patience, and empathy. As children took turns, encouraged one another, and helped friends along the way, they learned the true spirit of cooperation.
Every moment spent outdoors becomes a beautiful blend of play and growth, giving children the freedom to explore, connect, and create cheerful memories together.
Domino Coding GridOur young learners explored logical thinking and numerical reasoning through the engaging Domino Coding Grid activity. Children carefully counted the total number of dots on each domino and matched them to the corresponding symbols and columns on the grid.
This hands-on task encouraged them to analyse patterns, recognise numbers, and apply reasoning skills while maintaining focus and accuracy.
Through this interactive, coding-inspired activity, children strengthened their logical thinking, pattern recognition, and symbol association laying a strong foundation for future problem-solving and analytical skills in a fun, game-like setting.

Spectacular September – A Month with Animals
September was full of excitement as our young learners explored the fascinating world of animals. The theme of the month was Animals, and children enjoyed discovering farm, pet, and wild animals through stories, songs, and activities.
They imitated animal movements and sounds with the Animal Song and learned about farm animals through the story Tara and Her Friends. Matching animals to their homes and singing Old McDonald made the experience even more fun. Children also explored the differences between pets, domestic animals, and farm animals through sorting games and stories.
The story Wally the Wildcat and his Safari Adventure introduced wild animals like lions, tigers, and elephants, while the rhyme Down in the Jungle brought joy and energy to their learning. A quiz using a PPT helped children recap their understanding of farm, pet, and wild animals.
September was truly spectacular—a joyful month of exploring, learning, and growing with animals!
Little learners, big explorers—discovering nature’s wonders together!”
In September, children learned about keeping water and animals safe through fun activities. They sorted objects into ‘Clean Pond’ and ‘Dirty Pond’ tubs and understood why ponds and rivers should stay clean. Through a story, they found out how animals like cows, dogs, and cats need clean water, healthy food, and care just like us.
They also saw how hard it is to clean dirty water and promised to keep our water bodies clean. Children drew pet, farm, and wild animals and shared how they would take care of them.
Our little explorers discovered that clean water and kindness to animals help make the world a better place.
Language learning empowers children to explore the limitless world of
communication and self-expression. The children were introduced to the
letters ‘r’ to ‘z’ along with related vocabulary and Jolly Phonics sounds. They
enhanced their handwriting skills by tracing these letters in their notebooks
and workbooks.
They were also introduced to new sight words, including has, these, girl, say,
look, little, those, few, under, and gone, through an engaging PowerPoint
presentation and a hands-on activity. The children further read short
sentences and practised writing CVC (consonant–vowel–consonant) words
