The 'Dot Day' saw creativity sparks from EYP 3 as they created their own dot after reading the story 'The Dot'.

EYP 2 is exploring and inquiring into their new unit on 'Transport'. They have been learning about the various vehicles and sharing about the vehicles they have at home or have used for travel. The traffic signals and the signs on the roads are also being inquired about.

EYP 3 is inquiring into the unit 'Knowing you and me' and the first thing they learned about was to ask questions to each other. The unit was unfolded with the story, 'Not quite Snow White'. The students shared their thoughts about what character they would want to play on the stage.

EYP 1 is working on number sense and patterns along with shapes and colours; the students were engaged in numerous learning engagements to strengthen the pincer grip and communication skills as they learn to engage in conversation and sing action songs together.

4. Maintain good sleep hygiene. Go to bed at a reasonable time. Limit cell phone use and blue-light exposure. Limit caffeine intake after 5 p.m. Ensure that you are typically getting between six and eight hours of uninterrupted sleep.
5. Develop a weekly schedule that follows your regular routine as much as possible including class, study time, meals, breaks, socializing with friends, family time and self-care.
6. Ensure you have a fixed and isolated workspace to complete your online classes. Ideally, your workspace should be relatively private with minimal distractions and adequate space for a laptop/computer and classroom materials, such as textbooks, paper and required stationery.
7. Allow a little extra time to log in and test your connection before attending class or other online appointments.
8. If possible, attend live or listen to recorded classes at the scheduled time. Ask questions to clarify your understanding during live classes and note questions or difficult concepts to discuss with your teachers or peers via established telecommunication channels.
9. If you have free time in your schedule, consider some fun new options:

• Start a new hobby.
• Clean or sort something.
• Spend some time outdoors (while maintaining a 6-foot social distance).
• Try a new recipe in the kitchen.
• Paint, colour, write or draw.
• Create a new playlist.
• Learn a new language.
• Use your imagination.

10. Reach out and stay in touch with classmates, friends and family you no longer see in person through telecommunication. Start or resume study groups in an online environment. Set up online interactions like movie dates (e.g. Netflix night), coffee dates, social hours and chat times for you to stay connected with others.
11. Allow extra time for stress management and self-care. Utilize online tools to learn and practice relaxation skills, yoga and meditation. Calm and other relaxation and meditation apps are offering free services during this time.

• PYP 2 had an interaction with DP1 students,understood about the lifestyle of children from different parts of the world. Students were exploring the Big Idea : Children around the world, under the theme 'Who we are'.
• PYP3, gathered information from a parent about the roles and rules a professional needs to follow and the students understood the importance of obeying rules and the significance of performing their roles dutifully. The unit they are exploring is 'Roles and Rules' under the theme 'Who we are' .
• PYP 5 students are currently working on Industries, under the theme " How we organize ourselves". They had an opportunity to listen from parents about the establishments of business firms and moulding them into successful running units.

The learning, coming from experiences certainly has a deeper impact on young minds and helps them to consolidate their understanding for the knowledge acquisition. We thank the parent community for their extensive contributions to the students' learning

PYP 3: As a part of their summative assessment, students created a Flyer and brochure about protecting their green friends. They very enthusiastically presented their brochures with their peers creating an awareness towards our environment.

PYP 4: The Unit on Ecosystems (Circle of Life) under the theme "Sharing the Planet"drove an inquiry into the importance of maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. The second Formative assessment brought out students’ creative and critical thinking skills as they designed a unique creature with appropriate adaptations to survive in the chosen habitat. They enjoyed the personification writing in this task as well.

Hello everyone!!
I am Spoken love to party and travel. I like colder areas and keep travelling in search of cold areas.
I have 2 blue coloured eyes, but they are independent of each other. I have long black coloured eyelashes to prevent dust to enter my eyes, when I roam in forest or desert areas. I have a poisonous orange coloured tongue and it is medium sized. I also have an orange-coloured pocket to store food. I have magnetic button on the pocket so that the food I keep into it doesn't fall. I have green coloured hands to grab food for myself. I have purple-coloured gills on my hump which allow me to breath under water. I have a brown coloured hump to store water and food in desert. I have red coloured spikes all over my body to protect me from other animals. My red spikes show danger. I have 2 green webbed feet to swim fast.
I can camouflage and can change my colour according to the background. I can also slither.
In spring, I will spend my time in an ocean. The physical features that will help me survive in the ocean are my spikes, webbed feet, gills, poisonous tongue and I have hands to grab the food. My favourite food there is small fish and squids.
When it is summer, I will travel from ocean towards Artic as it will be not too cold there. I will carry prawns in my pocket for my travel. The physical features that will help me survive in the artic are my spikes, webbed feet, poisonous tongue and hands. Here on the ice my webbed feet will help me to walk on ice. My favourite food there is krill's and eels.
When it is autumn, I will travel from artic towards forest. I will carry shrimps in my pocket for my travel. The physical features that will help me survive in the forest are my spikes, webbed feet, poisonous tongue, and hands to grab the food. My favourite food there is grass.
When it is winter, I will travel from forest towards desert. I will carry centipedes in my pocket for my travel. The physical features that will help me survive in the desert are my spikes, webbed feet, hump, eyelashes, poisonous tongue and hands. My favourite food there is insects.
Again, in spring, I will travel from desert to ocean and will carry scorpion in my pocket for my travel.

PYP 4 children also created posters and slogans, advocating their responsibility towards the environment.

PYP 5: Change your habit, Change your lifeStudents of PYP5 concluded their unit on FITNESS by generating a wellness calendar for their family. The Summative Assessment Task was as follows - A family that wishes well for each other stays together. You are the wellness coach of your family. Create a routine for your entire family to follow that will help them develop and/or enhance all the 8 dimensions of wellness. Plan activities for the entire week from Monday to Sunday. Include the activities that will take care of each dimension every day for each member of your family for their holistic wellness.
Accordingly, students sat with their families and discussed all the activities that will cater to each dimension of wellness for every member of their family. Most of them worked in the class notebook of MS teams while some prepared a poster or a chart.

A working model of the muscular system and a poster to make people aware of the hazards of smoking by Shreyash Thareja from PYP5 as part of the FA 02 for the unit on Fitness.

EY 2 students did some fun science experiments like sink and float using real objects to see what could float in water and created cute looking rafts for their transport unit. The created craft for each letter sound that they learned; stories, songs, created collage and working on patterns enhanced their observation, communication and thinking skills.

EY 3 students wanted to know about how children dress up in other places, read maps, find Australia, and how to create art. We looked at the art form from Maharashtra and other states in India and came up with nice 'Warli' and 'Madhubani' art. They learned to name and recognise the different continents on the world map; and how different festive greetings are around the world. It was fun to find that Australia celebrates Christmas in summers minus the snowman. The accuracy in calculation is developing, collecting data by asking questions, comparing and sorting is getting more detailed; and vocabulary is enhanced with each story and festival we celebrate. The students are learning to develop the language needed for communication to enhance their social skills and values that will stay with us for life.

As we moved into the month of December, we learnt about Christmas and all that it entails! The learning, gaining more depth and the magic of Christmas season bringing joy in everyday life.
The students were excited to learn about Santa and listened to stories connected to Christmas. During online sessions, the students were engaged in different learning activities such as writing a letter to Santa, making Christmas cards, singing carols, spreading joy by gifting a 'Joy box' being Santa, decorating the Christmas tree and patterning with Christmas lights. The online Christmas party was fun but all the students and the teachers, missed the Christmas tree in the school.
