Math

Let's cut the shape- Rectangle

Learning to cut with scissors helps to build hand strength, develop hand-eye coordination and improve attention to tasks. Additionally, while using scissors the learners are improving visual skills. Cutting gives young learners independent movements of each finger. Cutting with scissors works on the separation of two sides of the hand and strengthens hand muscles. Bilateral coordination is also addressed when they have to hold the scissors in one hand and paper in the other. Here our K1 learners were engrossed in cutting the shape Rectangle independently.

ENGLISH

Having fun in a Phonetic way!

Phonics is an approach to teaching some aspects of literacy, by developing learner's knowledge and understanding of the relationship between written symbols and sounds.

Learners were made to pass around a percussion instrument when the music was played. When it stopped, the learner who has the instrument in the hand is supposed to play the instrument to a particular beat given by the teacher, and sing vowel sounds in the form of solfege.
