Dear parents,
Please find attached the outline of activities
done this week.
Fruit basket made by children
This week we continued with the unit— ‘Plants’.
Before the winter break the children had sown the seeds
of turnip and radish in the school garden. The children
actively participated in pulling out these vegetables. The
radish was used to make ‘Paratha’ which was served
along with the breakfast.
The children participated in the group activity of making
turnip soup. Prior to this, they were told the story of ‘The
Enormous Turnip’. The turnips were washed, chopped
and cooked in front of the children. The soup was served
to the children and they relished it.
Children were introduced to few common fruits— apple,
grapes and orange. Children were shown these fruits and
we discussed about their colour and taste. We gave the
drawing of children’s favourite fruits which they painted.
Later these paintings were used to make a fruit basket.
The shape rectangle was introduced through flash cards
and actual rectangular objects. Children did a worksheet
wherein they made a rectangle imprint with sponge.
They also did sorting of rectangular blocks.
Counting was reinforced through a worksheet wherein
they counted and stuck five apples on the worksheet.
Rhymes: ‘Channa kisne boya’, ‘Trees’, ‘See the apples
falling down’, flowers stems leaves and roots…..,
‘aloo kachaloo’, aha tamatar, apples apples in my
