Playing dress-up begins at an early age and truly never ends. We at the

Vidyashilp Public School conducted a theme dressing presentation for the

Pre-Primary Section. The purpose

for conducting the activity was to blend learning and fun and to

develop confidence in the students by giving them an opportunity to get

on the stage and speak in front of

an audience. They were dressed in colourful costumes and spoke a few

words on the character that they depicted.

This activity was fun and excellent as it sparkled their imagination and

it also stimulated creativity in the

parents as the props that they made were incredible. The efforts made by

the parents are highly commendable.

The students displayed their talents

on the following themes: Senior KG – A – Domestic Animals

activity proved to be a great learning experience for the students

and exposed them to a platform to

explore their hidden talents.

GARDENING IN PRE

PRIMARY

Gardening is a healthy, fun activity

for children. They develop new

skills and learn about science and nature from growing plants. There

is a variety of interesting activities children are involved in, such as

planting, watering and weeding.

Every year, the Pre Primary children go through this gardening activity,

which they all enjoy to the fullest. This year children brought

fenugreek seeds from their homes. Each class was allotted a small

space behind the school’s building.

The children first cleaned the allotted area, they removed the

small stones and weeds, and dug the soil. They enjoyed the use of

spades and rakes as they turned

their garden into a little place of adventure. Many of them felt like

they had magic powers, as they regularly watered the seeds and

watched them explode into life and

growth. The fenugreek seeds were sown by each child and every day

the students were taken to see the growth of their plants. The students

learn focus, patience, co-operation and teamwork through this activity

and it also encourages the children

to eat healthy. They also develop love and awareness for their

environment.When the fenugreek is

ready, it is given to the children to

take home, cook and bring it in their

tiffin. Gardening is a wonderful way to get

the students outside the classroom to benefit from fresh air and physical

activity.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

The 73rd Independence Day was

celebrated with great enthusiasm

and solemnity at Vidyashilp Public School. The celebration started with

the hoisting of the National Flag and all sang the National Anthem to pay

respect to our nation. The students

sang the patriotic song ‘AAI VATAN AAI VATAN’.Meenal Motlekar spoke

on this occasion bringing out the importance of the day.

It was appealed to the gathering to conserve our forests and natural

heritage, safeguard our monuments

and renew our habitats, and to work collectively in order to eliminate

poverty, illiteracy and inequality with the sense of ownership and

responsibility to successfully lead the

nation ahead. The celebration ended with a vote of

thanks and distribution of sweets to the students, parents, staff, support

and office staff.
