Principal’s Perspective

Mrs. Devi Shankar

Dear Cosmos Parents,

We hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. It brings us immense joy to welcome you back to our vibrant Cosmos after the blissful moments spent with family and friends during the Dussehra vacation.

1. Green Color Day Celebration: The post-Dussehra festivities kicked off with a wonderful "Going Green" day, where our little ones and dedicated educators adorned themselves in hues of green, creating a heartwarming sight throughout our beloved Cosmos.

2. Nurture Club Meet: Our recent Nurture Club Meet, themed "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star: Sparking Positive Behavior in our Children," proved to be a highly effective and fruitful session. It provided a valuable platform for both Cosmonaut parents and our Teacher Moms to come together, exchange views, and discuss various approaches and scenarios. The engagement was truly inspiring.

3. Curriculum Update: Our educators are making remarkable progress with their planning for the next term. Each topic is being transformed into a stimulating learning experience for our Cosmonauts, ensuring that every day at Cosmos is an enriching adventure.

4. The Cosmos Carnival: A grand event awaits our little ones! Stay tuned for the exclusive celebration designed especially for our Cosmonauts - "The Cosmos Carnival." It promises to be a day filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

As we have numerous events lined up to celebrate festivals, cultural diversity, and important milestones, We are striving to maintain a balance between these festivities and our core curriculum.

Rest assured, our dedicated educators are working tirelessly to maintain this equilibrium. They have demonstrated unwavering commitment to ensuring that while we celebrate the joyous occasions, our Cosmonauts continue to receive a high-quality education.

We believe that these events and celebrations are an integral part of a child's holistic development. They provide valuable opportunities for cultural enrichment, creativity, and social interaction, which are equally important aspects of education. By participating in these activities, they not only learn about the world around them but also develop a deep sense of community and belonging.

Our educators are experts in time management and curriculum planning. They are using innovative teaching methods to integrate the themes of these events into the curriculum, making learning an enjoyable and meaningful experience for our cosmonauts. Additionally, we encourage parents to engage with us in these celebrations, as your involvement enriches the overall educational experience.

Halloween Day Celebrations

Spooktacular Halloween Celebrations:

We are thrilled to share the highlights of our extraordinary Halloween celebration at Cosmos! On this bewitching day, our Cosmonauts and their dedicated Educators truly outdid themselves, transforming into eerie and enchanting characters that brought the spirit of Halloween to life.

The day was filled with joy, laughter, and a healthy dose of frights as our Cosmos family came together to revel in the festivities. From spine-tingling pranks to heart-pounding scares, the atmosphere was charged with excitement.

A special mention must be made of the Halloween dance performances that took center stage. Our talented Educators and students put on mesmerizing shows that left everyone spellbound. Their creativity and dedication truly shone through, leaving an indelible mark on all who witnessed their performances.

Of course, the pièce de résistance was our annual Whole School Halloween Parade. This grand spectacle is always a crowd-puller, and this year was no exception. The parade showcased the incredible imagination and effort put forth by our students, making it a sight to behold.

The highlight for our young ones, undoubtedly, was the classic game of 'trick or treat.' Children roamed in the ways to their neighbouring classrooms and to the Principal’s office, in their spookiest attire, collecting sweets and thrills in equal measure. Their smiles and giggles echoed through the corridors, painting a heartwarming picture of Halloween joy.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the parents of our Cosmonauts for their unwavering support, which played a crucial role in making this celebration a resounding success. Your enthusiasm and encouragement are invaluable.

A rousing round of applause is also due to our phenomenal Cosmonauts and Educators, whose outstanding performances and acts left us all in awe. Your dedication to making this Halloween unforgettable is truly commendable.
