Fancy Dress Nursery 2011-2012

The flowers bloomed,

The insects crept, crawled and buzzed,

The fruits and vegetables grew,

The wild animals walked freely,

The sea creatures swam to their delight!!

All of this and more happened at Witty International School on 4th February, 2012 in the Fancy Dress held by the Nursery Section.

The children came beautifully dressed in their colourful costumes. It was a total delight to see each one of them go up on stage and speak a few lines on their character. The event was hosted by our very own Wittians from the Primary section. The children were appreciated and encouraged to participate in such future events by giving certificates to one and all. It was a successful way to inculcate confidence in the children and build up their speaking skills.

Nursery Field trip to M P Aquarium 11-12

We come in all colours and we love to stay in the water,

Some crawl with their feet, some swim with their fins,

We mean no harm and are a sight to see,

Do you know who are we??

Sea creatures!!

The children of Nursery section were taken for a field trip to M.P. Aquarium. They saw various coloured fishes, big and small, swimming away in the water tanks.

Jr. Kg. Field Trip to Nehru Science Centre

FIELD TRIP TO NEHRU SCIENCE CENTRE

The children of Junior Kg. were taken for a field trip to The Nehru Science Centre in Worli on Saturday, 10^th of December, 2011.

The theme for the children of Junior Kg. during the month of December was Natural Giants, Man-made Giants and Big-Bigger-Biggest. For the better understanding of this concept, they were taken for a field trip to the Nehru Science Centre.

On the way to the Nehru Science Centre, children were shown the Worli Sea-link Bridge and were given the information about it also being one of the man-made giants in the city of Mumbai. They were also shown the various skyscrapers and explained about them too being Man-made giants.

At the Nehru Science Centre, children were taken for a Science show, where children were shown natural giants such as the Niagara waterfalls, which is the largest waterfall on Earth. The children were also shown the visuals of the Sahara desert in Africa and Amazon forest in South America. An explanation about the animals in the Amazon forest, such as elephants, hippopotamus, giraffe, different varieties of monkeys, lion, snake, different varieties of birds, bugs and tall trees was also provided. These visuals helped the children to co-relate with the teaching concepts of Natural Giants and Big-Bigger-Biggest. The show also included visuals about the Tibetan Civilization. The last part of the show was about the beauty and wealth of nature.

The field trip was highly effective in making the children understand about the concept of the month. Moreover, they had great fun as it was a different kind of an experience for them.

Poetry Recitation Competition for Jr.Kg.

POETRY RECITATION COMPETION FOR JUNIOR KG CLASS

Reciting poems and rhymes are very important for the development of children as it improves vocabulary skills of children and helps in their cognitive development. Children who memorize poetry learn a wide range of descriptive words that they might not encounter frequently in reading.  Children also love songs and rhymes with actions.   This encourages them to be involved in group activities.  They not only learn the song but the actions too, which in turn also helps in the gross motor and fine motor development. 

In line of the same, poetry recitation competition was held for the children of Junior Kg on Friday, 23^rd of December, 2011. Children enthusiastically participated in the competition and recited poems of their interest. To encourage the children, participation certificates were distributed to all.
