Learners engaged in a creative shapes recognition activity called “Garden of Shapes.” Using cutouts of basic shapes like circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles, they arranged and pasted them to create a beautiful garden scene. Through this engaging task, learners identified different shapes, observed their features, and understood how shapes can be used to form meaningful pictures. The activity strengthened their visual discrimination, fine motor skills, and creativity while reinforcing early math concepts. Learners enjoyed exploring shapes in a hands-on way, making the learning experience interactive, joyful, and memorable.

Learners engaged in a hands-on sorting activity using cutouts of various fruits and vegetables.

They carefully observed each picture and placed it under the correct category, strengthening their ability to differentiate between the two groups. The activity helped them build vocabulary related to healthy food choices. Sorting encouraged logical thinking, attention to detail, and early classification skills. Overall, the experience made learning interactive, enjoyable, and meaningful for the young learners.

As part of the IB approach to meaningful, real-life learning, our learners explored the topic of Media in the Unit of Inquiry. Students investigated what media is, its role in communication, and the differences between print and digital media.

To make the learning authentic, learners engaged in hands-on activities and interacted with real-world examples. A key highlight of the unit was an interview with the school’s digital marketer, where students asked thoughtful questions about how information is shared, how posts are created, and how digital media helps connect the school community.

This experience reflects the IB philosophy—learning through inquiry, exploration, and real-life connections—helping students become confident communicators, critical thinkers, and active learners.

Under the Transdisciplinary Theme “How We Organise Ourselves,” learners continued exploring the concept of marketplaces. To deepen their understanding, they engaged in an activity where they identified and showcased the difference between needs and wants, helping them connect real-life choices to economic decision-making.

Learners demonstrated the Learner Profile attributes of Thinker, as they analyzed and categorized items thoughtfully, and Knowledgeable, as they applied their growing understanding of how marketplaces function.

They also strengthened important ATL skills, including Thinking skills (evaluating and distinguishing between needs and wants), Social skills (working collaboratively and sharing ideas) and Communication skills (expressing their reasoning clearly).

In the month of November, learners actively participated in a variety of Physical Education activities that supported the development of their motor skills, coordination and overall game understanding. During lawn tennis sessions, learners practiced hand–eye coordination using a standing pole and ball, which helped them improve timing, control and concentration. They also continued their preparation for the Khel Mahakumbh competition, showing enthusiasm and determination as they refined their athletic skills. In football, learners focused on penalty-kick practice, working on accuracy, balance and confidence while learning to apply proper technique. Additionally, learners engaged in cricket activities where they practiced throwing the ball to hit the stump, strengthening their aim and coordination.

This month, our little learners enjoyed exploring rhythm and movement through music. They learned the joyful “Goldfish” dance, which helped them build coordination, creativity, and confidence. Along with this, children also practised the festive “Jingle Bells” song, filling the classroom with excitement and the spirit of the upcoming season. It was wonderful to see them participate with so much enthusiasm and energy throughout the month!
