provide and gradually remove external support for children’s learning. This means helping child more from a level of assisted performance to
independent functioning.

the teaching at this stage is done through naturalistic explorations of the environment.

Children plan, predict, make decisions, observe the results of their actions and form conclusion while teachers serve as facilitators.

Discussions

teachers and children, encouraging children to express themselves
and communicate their ideas aloud.

|
Active learning
- Children are encouraged to work cooperatively, leading
to positive feelings of competence and self
worth.

review to how to perform a given task at their
level.

feature where relations nurture and education becomes pleasant & joyous
experience. The day begins with excursion or adventure games under trained,

THEATRE
I heard
I forgot
I saw
I remembered
I did
I understood
Keeping this philosophy is mind, we started with
‘Theatre’ as a co-curricular activity in our school. CBSE is also
planning to initiate such steps so that studies can relate to child’s inner world.
'Theatre as a medium not only gives immense confidence to a child but also brings out
his/her hidden feelings and talents and helps us to understand the child better. It enhances imagination,
creativity, self expression, team-work, initiative, trust, confidence and
helps in removing stage fright. |
 |

Yoga
As a
step towards weaving spirituality into the lives of young ones we have yoga
classes where different asanas help them to develop a healthy human body and a
stress free mind. We
believe ‘A healthy mind dwells in a healthy body’. |
