Movie Outing 
An educational field trip was planned for the children, combining the SDG15 (Life on Land) with the monthly theme of Animals. Integrating movies and interactive activities is an excellent way to engage young minds and foster their interest in important topics. SDG14 - Life on Land focuses on protecting and restoring terrestrial ecosystems, promoting sustainable land use, and conserving biodiversity. By incorporating this goal into the field trip, the children had the opportunity to learn about the importance of preserving wildlife and their natural habitats. Using the movie "Lyle Lyle Crocodile" was an appropriate choice as it likely highlighted themes related to animals and their interactions with the environment. The children enjoyed watching the movie and learning about the adventures of the crocodile character. The movie review activity is a fantastic way to encourage critical thinking and communication skills. By actively participating and sharing their thoughts and opinions, the children were able to process the movie's content and relate it to the theme of animals. Field trips have multiple benefits. They not only provide a break from the regular classroom routine but also offer practical and engaging learning experiences for the children. It helped the children to connect what they learn in school to real-world situations, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the topics discussed. Overall, this field trip have been a great success in terms of educating the children about SDG 14, the importance of preserving life on land, and fostering their interest in animals. ​

Gurudwara Sahib Visit 'For God did not give us a Spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.' Guru Nanak says, “God is beyond perception of the senses. There is only one God who is the Supreme Truth and ultimate reality. He knows no fear and does not have enemies.” The field trip to a Gurdwara- the holy place of worship of Sikhs which means “door to the guru” was conducted on January 24, 2023. It was a different experience for our young Suncitizens. The students accepted the divine grace and followed all the rules to visit the Gurudwara from removing shoes, washing hands, covering their heads and bowing to feel His gracious presence in front of the Guru Granth Sahib. As soon as we entered, all the learners were amazed to see the place as it was beautifully decorated with flowers and had an elevated platform which looked majestic. The caretaker of the place gave our learners information about the early age of Guru Nanak Ji. He told them that the Holy Scripture Guru Granth Sahib is placed on a takhalmlolt (an elevated throne) in a prominent central position. All praised the 'Almighty' while singing ‘Wahe Guru ji ka Khalsa, Wahe Guru ji ki Fateh’ together meaning Wahe Guru is the protector and Wahe Guru (God) is victorious.

The month of November began with a new dance style- Tap dance on 'Don't worry be happy' song imbibing the spirit of happiness. We used freestyle body movements along with rhythmic foot movements (tapping and shuffling) to create a new choreography. They were also taught the basic levels of body like plie and releve. It is a good exercise for mind and body coordination, it also improves the body posture. ​

 Story Telling The students actively enjoy listening to stories and imagining a world of their own. In order to enhance their thinking skills and arouse curiousity in terms of all the different ideas that exist in the world, storytelling and enactment through stories like "Alladin in the Modern World", "What if you were a Superhero for a day?" encourage kids to explore the depths of their imagination and define for themselves, a thought process to enhance the teaching learning process on a whole in terms of relating different subjects. The ideas find a way to express themselves through their enactment and understanding of the stories in consideration.
​ Speech and Confidence Building Exercises The clarity of speech and how kids enunciate a word is a crucial point to be taken care of when it comes to expressions and emotions. The correct pronunciation and ability to project the voice without faltering in the speech is something we can only nip in the bud at this young age. This change can positively influence their capabilities in terms of listening and speaking and allow every child an opportunity to develop public speaking skills.

 “The best education you’ll ever get is by traveling.

 “The best education you’ll ever get is by travelling. Nothing teaches you more than exploring the world and accumulating experiences.”-Mark Patterson The word excursion evokes a feeling of excitement and a sense of exhilaration. This year the students of Grades I & II went to ‘Never Enuf Garden Railway’ Manesar, for their annual excursion. The trip aimed at providing the learners an experience outside the school environment and allowed them to observe new things in a completely different setting. ‘Never Enuf’ is the only garden railway in North India brought to life by Mr. Aadesh, a train-modelling enthusiast who has installed his creations in a Lilliput’s world, straight out of a picture book. The exuberant children, bubbling with excitement, got a close experience of a miniature world in an enchanting display of trains, motor-controlled boats and cars in their own small world of houses, industries, and bridges, perfectly syncing with the theme for this month- ‘Transport’ and SDG 9- ‘Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure’. Apart from admiring the miniature rail world, the young ‘Sun citizens’ also learnt about ticket windows, signals, railway crossings and station masters. The children were made aware of, how to deal with emergency situations involving fire escapes and more. The enthralling trip was made even more enjoyable with the scrumptious food, served at the venue. The children prepared DIY crafts and carried them home as souvenirs for their parents. ​

 ​‘’Sharing is a wonderful thing, especially to those you’ve shared with.’’ - Julie Hebert ‘Sharing is Caring’; teaching the children to share is teaching them love and compassion. This Children’s Day, November 14, 2022, the gratified ‘Suncitizens’, spread smiles by organizing a ‘Special Treat’ at the school for the underprivileged children.

The learning journey for this month started with a recapitulation of the topic, ‘Plants’. The students shared their understanding about the types of plants, their parts and their uses during a group discussion session. Further on, the topic- ‘Food’ was introduced by showing various food items to the students utilizing audio-video aids like pictures and videos to make them understand the significance of food in their lives. Students put forth several queries such as “Where does food come from?”, “What are the different kinds of foods and their benefits?”. To explain this further, the educators introduced a ‘Food Grouping activity’, wherein students were asked to identify the food items as per different food groups. The students were sensitized about eating healthy and giving up junk food. They were motivated to eat healthy food and a balanced diet. The concept of 'Raw food and Cooked food' was introduced in the class by showcasing some cooked food items and some raw food ingredients to make the students understand the need of cooking food before eating.

“If you do just one thing- make one conscious choice- that can change the world, go organic.” - Maria Rodale Plants are nature’s gift as they are beneficial to us in many ways. Without plants, there would be no life on planet Earth. They provide us with a variety of things to fulfil our daily requirements including food to eat, air to breathe, clothes, wood, medicine, shelter and many other products. Therefore, to raise awareness about the importance of plants, the students of Grade II, put up an exhibition titled ‘Organic Bazaar’, on 23rd August 2022. Our young enthusiasts displayed all the products obtained directly or indirectly from the plants like spices, cotton, jute, organic tea, herbal medicines, juices etc. They laid stress on going organic by highlighting the importance of using natural products. The Grade II students were interviewed by the students of Grade-III, as ‘Peer Educators’ and assessed the knowledge and understanding of the young learners on the topic ‘Plants and their Uses’. The innovative and engaging activity was a perfect amalgamation of the four C’s of the 21st Century learning skills- Critical thinking, Creativity, Collaboration and Communication. ​
