Tape resistance art!
Tape Resist Art is an art technique which is entirely process based, yet the product turns out beautiful and unique each time. Our Nursery learners explored this art in order to learn the formation of letter ‘T’. Learners were engaged while doing the art and tried their hands on using different materials like cotton, sponge, crepe paper and paint brush.

Red color
Our world is made up of colors which we can see all around us. Exposing children to colors is a great way to give them some vocabulary for describing the world around them. This opens up new and exciting avenues for verbal communication. Learners of Nursery were introduced to the color ‘Red’ with an amazing experiment. Learners experienced a red world around them by using a red magnifying glass made by them. All the learners were super excited to try their self made red magnifying glass.
Red, red! everywhere!

Homes
Introduction to the topic of ‘Homes’ was done in the Nursery class. Learners were introduced to the different rooms of the house via a show and tell activity. Learners brought various objects and different corners were made in the classroom. They described the objects using a few words and kept it in the room to which it belonged. This activity helped the learners to develop confidence and learn new vocabularies.
I learnt about the different types of rooms of my house!

Dancing Rice
Sound is created by disturbances in the air. These disturbances form a pattern of sound waves that cause physical objects to vibrate. Nursery learners explored DANCING RICE activity to see the effect of sound vibrations. Learners observed that the grains of rice were placed on the plastic wrapped bowl and the thin plastic wrap vibrates easily causing the light grains of rice to vibrate as well and appear to jump with the sound produced by music .The loud music produces noise which vibrates. This makes the air vibrate as well, producing sound waves.
Let's see the rice dancing!
