FEBRUARY, 2018

Transportation is an important part of everyday life and it’s a topic our kindergarteners are

interested in. We at BIS had Modes of transport theme in the month of February, where our

intelligent tiny tots learnt about different means of transport and their importance. Transport craft

activity on 4th February, 2018 helped them to learn about transport by doing hands on

activities. They made eye-captivating rockets, buses, trains and ships. The beautiful crafts made by

our creative tiny tots were displayed in the corridors.

FEBRUARY, 2018

What can be a great way to keep our little one's

entertained whilst learning. The “Story Telling” activity

organised for Pr-KG kiddos on 14th February 2018,

unwrapped the floating talent of kids in class. It was an

enthusiastic participation where in students confidently

narrated the story. This activity helped the students to

develop and improve their vocabulary skills and

overcome stage fright. Ultimately, not to forget the

much appreciated efforts by the Parents!

Aeroplane, aeroplane up in the sky…

Where are you going, flying so high!

We challenged our tiny tots to sort different means of

transport on 15th February, 2018. They learnt about mode

of transport and how to categorize them as land, water

and air in a fun way. They were given cut-outs of

transport and were asked to colour and paste in the right

category. This activity helped them enhance their critical

thinking skills in a play way method.

FEBRUARY, 2018

We at BIS want our children to be safe and secure. It is

important to teach road safety to our children at the budding

age so that safe habits become ingrained. Considering this

zebra crossing game was planned for our tiny tots on

18th February, 2018. Road with zebra crossing lines were

made and kids were asked to cross the road from zebra

crossing only. Moreover, they were also instructed how to

look both ways and obey road signs and traffic lights before

crossing.

FEBRUARY, 2018

“Safety is as simple as ABC. Always be careful.”

Road safety is one of the important topics to be percolated in

the young minds right from the beginning. It’s vitally

important to help shape the children’s understanding of the

attributes of road safety. In order to make them aware

about these traffic rules, a dummy model of the road with

all the vehicles and road signs were displayed on 19th

February, 2018 wherein students learnt and understood

about different traffic rules. They enriched their knowledge

about the traffic rules with a promise that they will follow

the traffic rules.

FEBRUARY, 2018

“Red, yellow, green and blue, dipped in the hues of love and trust, here comes the festival of colours

holi.”

The tiny tots of BIS celebrated holi with

great fervour and gusto on 28th February,

2018 .The Kindergarteners experienced the

true explosion of colour and children had a

great time. They smeared each other with

different herbal colours. They made

beautiful craft and wrote holi messages

wishing their near and dear ones. The

blooming buds sang songs, danced and

sprinkled colours on each other. The

significance of the festival was explained to

them through the story session.

and celebration through a series of sports events.

“For good ideas and true innovations, one needs to interact, Every single interaction is a training opportunity”.

An interactive Open House Meet was held at BIS on 10th

February, 2018. The event opened its door so that parents could

meet the educators to get a glimpse into the child’s learning and

to get an overview of classroom expectations, both for academics

and co-scholastic skills.

"Words are how we think, Stories are how we link."

Storytelling is one of the oldest art forms. It stimulates the imagination and

builds a sense of community between tellers and listeners. Grade I blooming

buds proved to be great story-narrators. The little noddies presented beautiful

stories based on fables, folk and fairy tales. We always salute them for their

relentless efforts. The “Story Telling” activity was organised on 12th February,

2018. The objective of this activity was to unwrap the floating talent of the

kids in class. It was an adoring participation where in students confidently

narrated the story. This activity helped the students to develop and improve their vocabulary skills

and overcome stage fright.

Ultimately, not to forget the much

appreciated

efforts

contributed by

the Parents!

“Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings, it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity.”

In context to the above lines, 'Poem Comes Alive' competition

was organized at BIS on 14th February, 2018. The little poets

of Grade I and II unleashed their hidden talents using their

creativity. They were encouraged to write a poem in the

competition. This opportunity gave children to develop their

poetic skills, confidence and courage. Performance of all the

kids was awesome.

The competition made the children realize that poetry often

uses devices such as meter and rhythm which is an important part of

the structure of the poetry.

FEBRUARY, 2018

The finest art of communication is not learning how to express your thoughts;

rather it is learning how to draw out the thoughts of others through a powerful

speech delivery.

BIS scholars rocked the event with their oratory skills

on 21st February,2018. The topic for Grade IV was-

Importance of Discipline and Grade V was- Importance of Sports in our

life

Each participant was well-prepared with a miraculous speech and

exhibited their astounding talent beautifully.

technologies and the methods followed in the field of

agriculture.

performance, lovely footsteps and hand movements mesmerized the

audience.

Debate is one of the co-curricular activities that

gives students creative room to express what

they feel. The length and breadth of knowledge

that they gain through debate is simply

unparalleled.

As the week 25th February-28th February was

dedicated to World Book Week, BIS students of

Grade VI-VIII were given interesting and

thoughtful topics to lead them to the path of

critical thinking and creativity. In our pursuit

of such a mission, this Inter-House Debate

Competition offered a platform to these young

speakers to express their views on the following

topics:-

E- Books are taking over Paperback and Hard pack

Reading is a conversation. All books talk but a good book

listens as well.

The competition

proved to be an

excellent way of

improving their

speaking skills and

was helpful in

providing the

development of a convincing argument.

“Education is not to reform students or amuse them or to make them expert technicians, it is to unsettle their minds, widen their horizons, inflame their intellects, teach them to think straight.” That’s the beauty of BIS education.

Every end has a new beginning, therefore BIS believes that learning never ends, rather it is an

ongoing life process. So, we are at the threshold of a new journey, ending up with the academic

session-2017-18.

BIS family wishes the students all the very best for the upcoming exam and for the adventures that

await you in the months and years to come.
