Stories that inspire hearts, lessons that shape character. 🌿

In the enchanting habitat setup, Our Year 1 learners were immersed in the magical tale of The Little Girl Tara. The children listened attentively as the story unfolded, narrating and enacting each character with remarkable enthusiasm. Tara, a kind-hearted girl living near the forest, captured their imagination as she helped a rabbit that transformed into a fairy. The fairy’s gift of a magic wand led Tara to heal a wounded baby elephant, teaching the timeless lesson that kindness always brings rewards.

The learners not only enjoyed the narration but also experienced the joy of embodying the characters, making the session lively and memorable. Their enactments brought the story to life, fostering creativity, empathy and collaboration. This unique storytelling experience in the habitat area allowed them to connect deeply with the moral “One good turn deserves another”- instilling values of compassion and generosity. It was a joyful and meaningful session that blended listening, narration and performance, leaving the children inspired by Tara’s kindness and caring attitude.

🌍 Building awareness today, shaping responsible citizens tomorrow.

Awareness of community is the first step towards responsibility. As children understand who helps their world, they begin to recognise how they can shape it.
As part of our Parent as a Resource Programme, we were delighted to welcome Ms. Bhavna Kapoor for an engaging session on “Our Community - Community Helpers.

Through songs, visual presentations and interactive discussions, learners explored the roles of community helpers and their importance in everyday life. They actively participated, shared their ideas and connected their learning to real-world experiences.

A fun riddle activity further encouraged critical thinking and engagement, making the session both meaningful and enjoyable.
The experience supported key areas of development including Communication and Language, Understanding the World and Personal, Social and Emotional Development, helping learners build awareness, appreciation and a sense of responsibility.

We sincerely thank Ms. Bhavna Kapoor for her valuable contribution to our learning community.

Parents as a Resource in action: Exploring Supply Chain Management in healthcare through real-world insights.

As part of our Parents as a Resource Programme, Mr. Jitesh conducted an insightful and interactive session on Supply Chain Management. Learners explored how supply systems function end to end, including the vital role of warehouse operations and transport networks - with special emphasis on the healthcare sector.

Through practical examples and engaging quizzes, students gained a deeper understanding of the importance of efficiency, coordination and timely delivery in real-world systems.

A meaningful session that connected classroom learning to industry practices. 🌍✨

✨ Stories are best understood when they are experienced together.

Our Year Group 2 learners collaborated in teams to select and enact stories that included the key elements of storytelling, bringing characters and narratives to life through creative role play.

From fictional adventures to meaningful real-life situations, each performance highlighted important values such as teamwork, honesty, and cooperation.

This engaging activity strengthened learners’ cognitive thinking, understanding of story structure, communication skills and ability to connect morals with everyday life.

Through creativity and collaboration, learners discovered that stories are not just meant to be told - they are meant to shape character and values. 🌱📖

✨ “Through stories, children don’t just learn values—they begin to live them.” 🌱

Our Year Group 3 learners celebrated a heart-warming culmination activity, revisiting inspiring stories such as The Poor Woodcutter, Helen Keller, The Determined Frog and The Garden of Kindness. Through expressive storytelling and personal reflections, they explored values like perseverance, empathy, resilience, truthfulness and kindness.

More than a storytelling session, it was a beautiful reminder that values are learned through stories and lived through everyday actions. 🌿✨

Building Healthy Habits 🍎

As part of our Parent as a Resource Programme, our Year Group 2 learners participated in an engaging session led by Ms. Jagruti Sawhney and Mr. Ishaan Sawhney.

The session focused on healthy eating and balanced diets, where learners explored different food groups and understood how each supports growth, energy and overall well-being. Through interactive discussions, they
learned to make healthier food choices by including fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins and dairy in their daily meals.

To extend learning beyond the classroom, learners were awarded Star Badges and encouraged to observe their meals at home -aiming to include at least one item from each food group.

This initiative promoted awareness, reflection and responsible choices, inspiring learners to build healthy habits in their everyday lives.

Understanding CO₂ and Its Impact 🌍

Interactive discussions on topics like plastic manufacturing, carbon storage and real-world solutions such as underground CO₂ storage and afforestation captured learners’ interest and deepened their understanding.

The session encouraged critical thinking and environmental awareness, helping learners make meaningful connections to global challenges like climate change and sustainability.
