Tibor,the calm and clever 3-year old signed out of the school last week.The situation was a total downer for us all,but he had to leave with his parents to explore more exciting zones.The huge lump still lingers in our throats when we recall the moments we shared with this little guy :-)

Monday evening was fun,as we stayed indoors while it was raining outside and staged a moral play for the kids in preps for the upcoming competition on Saturday.

ALL foR oNe


Its always fun to play with the kids before a meal.The play area always appears to be filled with vibrant children ready to dash into you or even use you as a climbing frame.As long as you maintain your balance,everything will be alright.But the moment you scan a team of trouble shooters approaching you,it would be the perfect time to abandon ship.Pictures say a lot of things we ourselves are unable to express in words.That's why i often let the super snapshots speak for me.This is a picture i shot in the playroom just before school closed at 6pm last week.

The hexagon was introduced as a shape with six sides.The kids made use of colorful craft sticks and glue with brushes to paste hexagons on their papers and the works were displayed on the class bulletin board.This without a doubt is one activity they enjoyed to the maximum.

Today,i thought letting the kids play the teacher's role would be fun as it sort of facilitates learning.It makes them feel dignified and in control.They enjoyed the session of letter recognition,sounding and spelling while the others followed.I think i have found the perfect recipe for committing everything we learn in class to memory and it works.

Devang had designed a secret book for himself earlier as pictured every agent should have a special book with codes that only he could decode.So he came up to me and asked me to honor the book with my signature.I felt very happy and gladly signed on the first page with my pen.

ILL piLL


This little guy has been ill for over a week and he showed up this week putting up a series of strange moodswings.He is a fun fellow but when he wears a serious face,even a circus clown couldnt make him grin letalone laugh.This week,i think he dozes off during lessons probably because he's bored or uninterested in what is being taught.Though yesterday,i was indoors with him when the other kids were playing outdoors.I gave him a coloring book of the ''Teenage mutant ninja turtles'' to color and he seemed very well interested in the activity.He colored a few pictures until it was time for him to go home at 6pm.

Mohammed is quite a solitary little boy who enjoys playing in the weirdest of places.Here i found him during free flow lying in a prone position counting from one until he got up and vanished without a trace.This particular image amazed me cos the kid actually looked like a turbo car ready to zoom on the race track.

BouNciNg oN tHe aLpHabeT pads



Today,we had a blast jumping on the alphabets on the pads i smuggled from the dining area to see if the kids were familiar with different letters of the alphabet.A few of them had some flaws but a handful were quite good at recognising the letters,especially the initials to their respective names.I figured that jumping could make learning soper fun for children :-)

9 was the magic number for the week and the kids had loads of fun putting a string through nine colorful bead balls in the classroom.After that,they enjoyed wearing them on their necks as crafty necklaces for display.
