newsletterPRE NURSERY A5.8.13-9.8.13Dear Parents,Please have a look at the activities done this week.The children celebrated EID—UL– FITAR at school by sharing their toysand clothes with the neighborhood friends . They served ‘sweet seviya’to their friends. The children also made a ‘star—moon mobile’ craft as apart of the celebration.

“ANIMAL WORLD”We started our inquiry into ‘How farm animals help us’ throughgroup discussions. The children could relate the animals and theway in which they help us like ‘cow gives us milk’ and ‘hen gives usegg’. Their knowledge was further enhanced through AV shows onfarm animals—horse, cow, hen and sheep. A dramatization of thestory ‘The journey of the milk—From Farm to Home’ was organizedfor the children. Later, an assessment of their understandingwas done through a worksheet.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEYsmzophTAhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHbzju0i12ohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABuqHmyDxG0http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rP2RK1HtnADiscussion on the ways in which animals help usChildren sticking wool on sheep cutouts
