CCC-Newsletter Oct'2013
It is now a
well established fact that the competence of a Preschool curriculum has a
significant impact during the child’s early development years. The change of season,
on approaching winter sets an ideal mood for our little budding
environmentalist to examine the leaves, flowers & trees.
The concept
of Day & Night was introduced to the children. We have Day & Night
because Earth rotates. It spins on its axis which is an imaginary line passing
through North & South pole. At any time half of Earth faces Sun. This part
has day. The other half of earth faces away from sun. It is Dark & has
night.
EVENTS
The festival
of Dussehra was celebrated with pomp & show at Crystal India
Children of
Toddlers & PG 1 section presented a dance performance for Grandparents on
“Chanda Chanda Mama” & ”itni si Hasi” songs respectively. Our PG 2 kids
came dressed up as different characters of Ramayana & spoke few lines on
the same. Children of PG1 & PG2 dedicated & enacted “you are my
sunshine” song.

of PG 1 & PG 2 were told about the germination. They planted beans in a
thermocol glass & watched them grow. Bean seeds germinate in damp cotton
wool, which makes the stages of germination easy to observe.

up rocks, bark, grass, leaves, flowers etc and brought them back to the class.
As we walked along, children were encouraged to talk about what they see &
hear in natural surroundings. The kids were happy to water the plants & to
run after butterflies & squirrels.
Tots, Bambi
& Simba kids made a puppet of Ravana as Dussehra craft.
Bambi &
Simba kids were told about Hibernation. Hibernating animals get ready for their
winter sleep by eating extra food & storing it as body fat which they then
use as energy while sleeping. Bears take shelter inside their caves, mouse
inside their holes; fish, frogs & turtles shelter under logs, rocks &
fallen leaves in winter. Children made Teddy bear mask which they were very
excited to wear.
Simba kids
made craft with letters U-Z. Tots pasted flowers & leaves on tree.

PARENTINETIP
Overprotection weakens a child’s mental strength. An environment of over protection has everlasting influence on child’s personality whereby a child is unable to deal with challenges of life.Such children always fear to experiment & are thus always followers & never leaders.
