खेल-खेल में सीखना – सब्ज़ी वाला

नर्सरी कक्षा में एक रोचक “सब्ज़ी वाला” गतिविधि का आयोजन किया गया, जहाँ शिक्षकों ने स्वयं सब्ज़ी विक्रेता (सब्ज़ी वाला) बनकर बच्चों के साथ एक जीवंत अनुभव साझा किया। रंग-बिरंगी सब्ज़ियों से सजी एक आकर्षक ठेली (सब्ज़ी कार्ट) के माध्यम से बच्चों को विभिन्न सब्ज़ियों के नाम और उनके रंग हिंदी में सिखाए गए। शिक्षकों ने हर सब्ज़ी के बारे में सरल और रोचक जानकारी दी—जैसे उसका स्वाद, उपयोग और सेहत के लिए लाभ। 

बच्चों ने घर से लाई हुई सब्ज़ियों का मिलान किया और उनके रंग, आकार व बनावट में अंतर को समझा। इंद्रियों (देखना, छूना, सूंघना) के माध्यम से सीखने का यह अनुभव बच्चों के लिए आनंददायक और ज्ञानवर्धक रहा।

Earth Day 2026

Earth Day came alive across school with songs, skits, posters, pledges and thoughtful green action. Guided by this year’s theme, ‘Our Power, Our Planet,’ students reflected on how collective choices can protect the Earth.

Primary School children explored simple everyday actions such as planting trees, saving water, switching off lights, avoiding food wastage and reusing materials. In Junior School, Classes 3A and 3B led a special assembly on 21st April with a Hindi song, a skit, a dance performance and a shared pledge to care for the planet. Middle School transformed the area outside the library into an Earth Day gallery, with Grade 6, 7 and 8 presenting posters on seasons, ecosystems and extinct species.
