For this activity, the students used a cup and a small ball.

Each group of students took turns placing the ball in different positions.

Through this playful exercise, the children not only saw but also experienced how prepositions showed the relationship between objects. The cup and the ball acted as their little stage, and every student became a performer, moving the ball as per the given preposition.

By the end, the students clearly understood how to describe the position of objects using prepositions, while also building teamwork and confidence.

Few things bring more joy than watching young minds grasp important life lessons through creative expression. One such moment occurred this week during our Grade 1 Role Play on “Safety Rules on the Road.”

The classroom transformed into a mini street scene – complete with traffic lights, crosswalks, road signs, and even a little zebra crossing! The students dressed up as traffic lights. It was both heartwarming and enlightening to see their excitement and eagerness to take on their roles.

Through simple dialogues and dramatized scenarios, our little ones portrayed, cross the road safely using the zebra crossing, the meaning of basic traffic light colors – red for stop, yellow for wait, and green for go, helmets are essential while riding bicycles or two-wheelers.

Each scene was met with applause, not just for the adorable performances, but for the clarity with which the children conveyed such crucial safety messages.

By the end of the role play, students were able to recognize and recall key road safety rules, understand the importance of being careful and responsible on the road, develop confidence in public speaking and expression through role play, practice teamwork, listening, and coordination in group activities, begin to understand their role as young citizens in ensuring safety – for themselves and others.

Most importantly, they learned that following road safety rules isn’t just for adults – it’s for everyone, including them.

It was a proud moment to see learning come alive in such a meaningful way. We hope these safety lessons stay with our children not just in school, but throughout their lives.

Here’s to safe roads and more responsible future citizens!

At our Montessori, we believe that children learn best when their hands, hearts, and minds work together. Our recent Fireless Cooking Activity brought this philosophy alive in the most delightful way. The classroom buzzed with excitement as children explored fresh ingredients, felt new textures, and experienced the joy of creating something entirely on their own—safely and confidently.

This simple yet meaningful activity opened the door to real-life learning. Children practiced practical life skills, from organizing their space to handling materials with care. They made thoughtful decisions about how to combine and arrange ingredients, building confidence and independence with every small choice. Their natural creativity shone as they experimented with colours, shapes, and simple patterns while preparing their plates.

Beyond the skills, the activity nurtured the heart. Children shared materials, waited patiently for their turn, encouraged one another, and proudly admired each other’s creations—beautiful moments of empathy, teamwork, and social bonding.

The sensory experience enriched their learning even further. Touching crisp textures, noticing colours, smelling fresh ingredients, and describing what they observed helped expand their vocabulary and sharpen their awareness.

Activities like fireless cooking remind us why Montessori education is so powerful—it turns everyday moments into meaningful lessons, helping children grow into thoughtful, confident, and capable individuals who love to learn.

In Grade 1 English class, students explored the topic of

“Naming Words” through a fun and interactive activity. To help students understand the concept of naming words (nouns), a hands-on game was planned where children were given a box filled with sticks that had either pictures or names. Each child picked one stick from the box and identified what it showed. This engaging activity encouraged active participation, critical thinking, and discussion among students.

Through this game, learners were able to clearly differentiate between different categories of naming words, enhanced their vocabulary, and improved their ability to classify and identify nouns in their environment. It also fostered teamwork, confidence, and joyful learning in the classroom.

Flowerpot Activity (Class 3)

To bring alive the moral of The Selfish Giant, our Class 3 students participated in a heart-touching activity titled “Blooming with Kindness.” Through this activity, the young learners created beautiful Kindness Flowerpots and Bouquets, each symbolizing love, care, and generosity.

Students focused and crafting their kindness flowers.

Sharing Happiness

After preparing their handmade bouquets, students exchanged them with their friends. This act of giving helped them understand that true happiness lies in sharing and caring — the very message taught by The Selfish Giant.

 Lesson Learned

This activity wasn’t just about art and craft — it was about nurturing hearts. Children learned the importance of giving, expressing gratitude, and spreading positivity. Their creativity and emotions bloomed together, turning the classroom into a beautiful garden of kindness.

 Message of the Day

“A little act of kindness can make the world bloom with happiness.”

Learning becomes most meaningful when children experience it in real-life situations. Our Grade 2 students brought the concept of “Money” to life through a wonderful role play activity this week.

The classroom turned into a cheerful mini marketplace, filled with stalls for fruits, vegetables, toys, and stationery. Students enthusiastically took up roles as shopkeepers and customers, using play money to buy and sell items.

Through their lively dialogues, children demonstrated how money is used in daily life, how to count and return change, and the importance of saving and spending wisely. Their confident lines —

“How much does this cost?”

“Here is your change, thank you!”

“I’ll save my money in my piggy bank!”

Made the learning joyful and interactive.

The role play was not only entertaining but also educational, helping students understand the value and smart use of money. It was truly heartwarming to see our young learners combine fun and learning so beautifully!

The students learned about measurement by weight. They observed and compared different classroom objects like pencils, erasers, books, water bottles, toys, and paper using a balance. Through the activity, they discovered which objects were heavy and which were light.

The students were excited to see that size does not always decide weight—for example, a small stone turned out to be heavier than a big paper sheet. This fun, hands-on experience helped them clearly understand the concept of heaviness and lightness.

This week, our Grade 1 classroom came alive with excitement as we took our young learners on a visit to the school garden. As part of our lesson on “Parts of a Plant and Types of Plants,” the garden provided the perfect outdoor classroom for hands-on learning.

The children were thrilled to explore the garden, pointing out flowers, trees, and tiny insects. Together, we observed and identified the parts of a plant—roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. The students enjoyed touching the leaves, smelling the herbs, and noticing how different each plant looked.

We also explored the types of plants growing in the garden. The tall trees, bushy shrubs, tiny herbs, climbing vines, and creeping plants helped them understand how plants can look and grow in different ways. They were quick to spot examples, from the neem tree to the pumpkin creeper, and many connected what they saw to plants they’ve seen at home or in their neighborhood.

They compared the thickness of roots and observed leaves of different shapes, sizes, and textures, learning how plants can vary in wonderful ways.

During the visit, students also learned about irrigation and how water reaches the plants to help them grow. They got to see some gardening tools and understand how these are used to take care of plants. The garden was also buzzing with life—a home for many living beings such as butterflies, worms, bees, and birds. This helped the children understand how plants and animals depend on one another in nature.

By the end of the garden visit, the activity helped develop observation skills, curiosity about nature, and a sense of care for living things. Seeing the concepts come to life in the garden made the lesson more engaging, memorable, and meaningful for every child.

Back in class, we followed up with drawing and labelling activities, where students confidently illustrated what they had learned. It was truly heartwarming to see how a simple garden walk turned into a deep learning experience.

It’s always exciting to watch young learners grow-not just in the classroom, but beyond it. This term, our swimming lessons became more than just a physical activity. They turned into an engaging, hands-on Environmental Studies (EVS) experience!

As students learned basic water skills like floating and breathing techniques, they also explored environmental topics such as sources of water, uses of water, and importance of water conservation. Being in the pool helped them connect theory to real-life experiences-seeing clean water, understanding its recreational use, and learning why it must be used wisely.

In the pool, children explored the basics of water safety, floating, and simple strokes, water filtration, but we also took time to connect their experiences to their immediate environment.

Students were able to identify different uses of water and were aware of water conservation in everyday life-all while building confidence in the pool!

To make learning more interactive, Grade 8 students took part in a research-based activity on the state animal, bird, and tree of Bihar. The activity encouraged students to explore nature, understand the significance of these state symbols, and develop curiosity about wildlife.

Students researched the Gaur (state animal), House Sparrow (state bird), and Peepal Tree (state tree), learning when and why they were chosen and the areas where they are commonly found. They also discovered interesting facts about their characteristics, habits, and importance in the environment.

Through presentations and discussions, students shared their findings and suggested simple ways to protect and conserve these species. The activity not only made learning fun but also helped develop a sense of responsibility towards nature and wildlife.
