Principal’s Perspective

Mrs. Devi Shankar

Dear Cosmos Community,

Warm greetings! Hope this newsletter finds you and your loved ones in the best of health and spirits. As we navigate through this academic year, we're delighted to bring you a snapshot of the daily marvels and achievements within our cherished Cosmos. The essence of positivity, learning, and the spirit of exploration continue to flourish in our school community.

Much like the sun's gentle rays that brighten our days, the enthusiasm and energy of our students illuminate our Cosmos. Each morning, we witness the vibrant spirit of our children as they eagerly embrace the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.

We're thrilled to share the resounding success of our “Parenting workshop on nutrition” centred around the theme, "From Seeds to Trees - Nourishing Our Children's Future" held by our Nurture Parent Club. The fervour and zeal displayed by our Cosmonauts' parents were truly exceptional. We're eagerly looking forward to our upcoming Nurture Parent Club workshop, where we will delve into the realm of Social and Emotional Learning, under the theme "Empowering Emotional Intelligence."

Happy to share our Cosmos has transformed into a Patriotic hub of creative expression of freedom and unity as our Cosmonauts engage in role plays, performances, and activities to celebrate our nation's independence. Through these collective efforts, we aim to reinforce the values of unity, diversity, and freedom that our nation stands for.

Our Cosmonauts have been enthusiastically participating in role plays that depict pivotal moments from the struggle for independence, showcasing the remarkable journey our nation has undertaken. The sounds of patriotic songs and poems echo through the corridors of Cosmos, evoking a sense of pride and devotion among our Cosmonauts.

Overflowing with happiness, wonder, and surprise, I share the exhilarating progress of our phonics and our esteemed R.E.A.D program. It's a joy beyond words to witness our little stars fearlessly engaging with their educators, demonstrating their blossoming ability to express themselves through self-formed sentences. Their journey includes sounding out letters, blending, distinguishing the nuances between tricky words, diagraphs, trigraphs, and much more – a true testament to their remarkable comprehension.

Kudos resoundingly to the incredible capacities within our little geniuses and the remarkable delivery prowess of our educators. We never forget the invaluable support of our parents, whose nurturing intellects play a pivotal role in shaping these young minds.

The journey of growth continues, and we look forward to sharing more moments of achievement with our devoted Cosmos community.

Wishing you all a wonderful month ahead filled with joy, discovery, and patriotism. ”JAI HIND”

Happy to share our esteemed cosmonauts have embarked on an exciting journey of acclimatization and exploration within their classrooms. With great enthusiasm, we announce that they are now seamlessly settling into their class routines, brimming with eagerness to delve deeper into their enriching curriculum.

EARLY YEARS : R.E.A.D PROGRAM

It is with immense delight and awe that we share the remarkable progress achieved by our budding learners in the Early Years[ Nursery, L.K.G & U.K.G.]

Our little champions in Nursery and L.K.G are creating ripples of amazement as they embark on their phonemic journey. The air is alive with the sound of young voices confidently navigating the intricate world of letter sounds, blending, and segmenting. The corridors resonate with the joyful sounds of children enthusiastically sounding out letter blends and segments, a testament to their growing phonemic awareness. How delightful it is to witness their early efforts in constructing sentences, a manifestation of their rapidly developing communication aptitude.

Equally inspiring is the stride of our U.K.G trailblazers, delving deep into phonics. They are fearlessly navigating the complexities of phonics. Our Cosmonauts embark on language expeditions, deciphering digraphs and intricate constructs. Their focus on heart words, blending, segmenting, and substituting is truly commendable, demonstrating their commitment to mastering the foundations of language, while their grasp of Grapheme Phoneme Correspondence (GPC) unveils their thirst for word craft.

KEY STAGES : R.E.A.D PROGRAM Turning our gaze to the Key Stages,[G - 1,2 & 3] a captivating tapestry of growth unfurls. Our dynamic Cosmonauts embark on language expeditions, fearlessly deciphering digraphs and intricate constructs. Witnessing our diligent Cosmonauts engage with trigraphs, conquer challenging linguistic facets, and wield heart words to forge sentences is a testament to their unwavering commitment. As they decode sound families adorned with diverse graphemes, the potential of collaborative learning gleams brilliantly, reflecting the depth of understanding and application.

FRIENDSHIP CELEBRATION DAY :

Delightedly, we share that the previous week marked the celebration of Friendship Day, a splendid occasion where our cosmonauts rejoiced in the company of their cherished friends. Engaging in diverse activities and crafting tokens of affection such as friendship bands, they beautifully showcased their love and gratitude for one another. Observing their bonds strengthen and witnessing them spend invaluable moments with their dear companions was a heart warming experience that deeply touched us.

As Year Group Leads, we stand in awe of the achievements thus far and eagerly anticipate the continued flourishing of these remarkable individuals as they navigate the boundless universe of language, art and expression. We extend heartfelt gratitude to educators and parents, architects of these empowered minds.

Nurture Parent Club

We are absolutely thrilled to share the tremendous success of our Nurture Club Workshop, focused on Parenting: "From Seeds to Trees - Nourishing Our Children's Future." The extraordinary enthusiasm and zeal exhibited by our Cosmonauts Parents were nothing short of fantastic!

We delved deeply into "The ABC'S of Child Nutrition," gaining an understanding of the significance of a balanced diet and exploring the diverse food groups essential for the holistic growth and development of our children. Our discussions illuminated the paramount importance of a balanced diet. We familiarised ourselves with the major food groups such as fruits and vegetables, carbohydrates, proteins, dairy and alternatives, as well as oils and spreads. Learning about portion sizes and recognizing the significance of food labels on packaged products enabled us to make informed choices.

Over the course of our sessions, The Art of the Lunchbox, Crafting Nutritious and Delicious Meals, our Nurture Club transformed into a vibrant kitchen space, brimming with laughter, camaraderie, and pure joy. The crowning jewel of the event, the "Master Chef" activity, provided a unique platform for parents to bond with each other, crafting healthy snacks and lunch together. Through these engaging, hands-on experiences, we managed to instill and nurture healthy eating habits, fostering a wonderfully positive relationship with food.

The exchange of personal experiences and the sharing of invaluable insights by parents enriched our collective comprehension, elevating mealtime to a realm of not only nutritional balance but also incredible excitement.

We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to all parents for their unwavering participation and wholehearted support. Your active engagement was the cornerstone of our Nurture Club's resounding success! As we move forward, let us continue working hand in hand to sow the seeds of healthy living in the fertile ground of our children's lives.

Once again, our sincerest thanks for being an integral part of this extraordinary venture. Together, we will continue to nurture our children and lay the foundation for their thriving future.

Events/Ceremonies/Celebrations

Special events and celebrations have always been the heart of Cosmos, infusing our daily lives with joy and togetherness.
