‘Our Colourful India’ and ‘Transport’
(Class I – August 2017)

The theme on ‘Our Colourful India’ helped children relate with cultural diversities – language, food, clothing, folk tales and songs. Interactions were organised with didis belonging to various states of India. Children curiously observed didis in their vibrant attire and happily made way for the dragon to enter their classrooms.

They shared their views on what ‘independence’ or ‘freedom’ means to them. Children said, ‘we can now read stories on our own, write our names, tie our shoe laces, kick the ball in the right direction; we feel independent’.

Visit to the Air force Museum at Palam was organised to deepen their experiences related to the theme on ‘Transport’. As part of the theme, interaction with a pilot parent was scheduled during the week. Children wanted to know about the black box, its use, lights of the plane and how a plane takes off. They joined him with excitement in an imaginary aircraft into the sky
