Poem enactments are a great way for children to express themselves. The children were ready for some monkey business on 22nd September 2011, as we had a poem enactment on “Five little Monkeys”. They looked adorable in their “monkey”, “mummy” and “doctor” attires. This is a song that one can use anytime for the children to get up and jump. Not only that, but it is also a fun way to learn numbers unto 5; and the children had a great deal of fun learning this rhyme in an interactive way.
When arriving at school in their favorite pair of pajamas, the students of Nursery were prepared for a day of "pajama party" entertainment on 19thSeptember 2011.

The children were explained the difference between day-time and night-time. Pajamas aren't just for night-time after all.

We all know that“Prevention is better than cure”. In order to enjoy a healthy lifestyle, a regular medical check up is very essential to detect problems early.
Just as the beginning of pre-school is a big step for the child, the pre-school medical check-up is also a big one. The students of Playgroup & Nursery had a thorough medical and dental examination by Dr. Purvi Mehta & Dr Viral Parikh respectively, on 8th& 9thSeptember 2011.
This will serve as a personal medical record for future reference to parents as well.
On behalf of WIS, we would like to thank both the doctor’s for lending us their precious time out of their busy schedule.

“Instead of celebrating my B’day separately It would be
my proud privilege it is observed as TEACHER’S
day” -Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan
DESCRIPTION
In India 5th September is celebrated as Teachers' day as
a mark of tribute to the contribution made by teachers to the society. 5th
September is the birthday of a great teacher Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, who
was a staunch believer of education, and was the well-known diplomat, scholar,
the President of India and above all a teacher. When Dr. Radhakrishnan became
the President of India in 1962, he was approached by some of his students and
friends and requested him to allow them to celebrate 5th September, his
"birthday". In reply, Dr. Radhakrishnan said, "instead of
celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege if September
5 is observed as Teachers' day". The request showed Dr. Radhakrishnan's
love for the teaching profession. From then onwards, the day has been observed
as Teachers' Day in India.
IMPORTANCE
Teachers are an inevitable part of our lives. They play a
significant role in the formative years of thedevelopment of a child, in one way or the other. When we are young, our
teachers play the role of 'second parent', taking care of us and showing us the
right path to success. When we grow older, they help us achieve our targeted
goals and guide us in such a way that life's toughest challenges seem easier to
accomplish. They prove to be a moral guide for us. They recognize the talents
of their students, sharpen it, and give it a proper shape, which can prove
productive. Teachers have an influencing role in the life of every student.
They are like beacons of light, guiding us in the formative years of our life.
Teachers mould us and in the process and shape our future. What we learn from
our teachers remains with us, throughout our life. However, very often, we fail
to show our appreciation and gratitude for their altruistic devotion.
POEM
T is for talented that you surely are
E is for explaining so patiently
A is for the ability to make the class fun
C is for correcting us when we were wrong
H is for helping us in every way
E is for encouraging us to do our best

So thank you special teacher; we think you’re great too.
