Children came dressed as spooky characters and participated in the parade. Children enjoyed Trick or Treat by visiting different classrooms. 

Celebrations

In connection to the current unit ‘Celebrations’ a Treasure corner has been created where artifacts related to different celebrations have been kept. Children are in the process of exploring the artifacts and finding out its relevance. They have been full of questions and are very curious to know more about them.  They have added a few artifacts to the Treasure corner.

Exploring the concept of ‘Time’

Peace Week, Gandhi Jayanti & Joy of Giving Week

Children were read many stories on peace during the Peace Week. Each child interpreted the meaning of peace in their own way.

To mark Gandhi Jayanti a sit down lunch was organized by the students of the Middle School on 4^th of October which they enjoyed thoroughly.

Kindergarteners contributed towards bringing joy in the lives of the underprivileged children by getting gifts for them. They kept the gifts under the ‘Giving Tree’ which will be distributed to the children of the nearby village schools on the occasion of Diwali.
