FOR THE LOVELY PARENTS

It’s time to say good –bye

Our year has come to an end

I ‘ve made more cherished memories

And many more new friends.

I’ve watched your child learn and grow

And change from day to day.

I hope that all the things that we have done

Have helped in some small way.

So it’s with happy memories

I send them out of the door

With great hopes and expectations

For what next year holds in store.

FAREWELL TO MS. RIMA

TRIP TO THE FARM

Children visited some farms near our school in connection to the unit ‘Sharing the planet’. The trip gave an opportunity to our children to observe different kinds of plants and things that we get from them.

ORGANIC GARDENING

Kindergarteners had a workshop on 3^rd May 2012, which was organized by one of our parent Ms Preeti Malik. The workshop was on organic farming conducted by Esvasa an NGO associated with organic farming and organic food. The workshop entailed a short story session on the importance of plants which was done through visual aids. This was followed by a planting activity in the school garden. Each child got an opportunity to plant a sapling using organic material which was brought by the members of the NGO.
