Trupti Aunty's Group- Aeroplane song

Today we came back from assembly and took off in a plane on a flight towards composing our own song. We wrote the letter A saying

up on the mountain and down again, sleep there to make an A.

Then we even went and explored how we can make A on the floor by lying down.

Soon we all thought of an aeroplane and all of us together made the following song on an aeroplane:

Aeroplane has wheels

we sit in it

and go to bom-bom

it is big

and goes up to the airport.

 

It was our first attempt to make a poem and were proud of it.

 

 

We even compared an aeroplane to a helicopter and had a good time with our songs.

Shivani Aunty - 2-4yrs - 26-9-07 - Reverse!

We explored Magnets today, some were small, some big, some had pretty pictures too.One was really powerful and could pick all the little baby magnets so easily. We also played the 'come, come, come and go, go, go' game with them. It was fun to feel the magnets and explore them, one of us figured out that sometimes the magnets wanted to move away from each other, it was such a thrill that he shouted 'Aunty its going reverse!' We really loved the magnets....

Trupti Aunty's Group-- magnet magic

Today was the day to experience magnets. We comfortably sat in a circle and were eager to follow the one by one code to explore the magic. When the magnets were passed around, interesting ideas were floating around. There were two circle shaped magnets and two rectangle shaped. They were joined together and some of us said it looked like a traffic signal, lolipop, etc. Then we found that they stuck to each other without any gum being used. Now that was magic indeed. After we had explored how they stick to each other, we tried sticking them on the stapler, and lo what magic, they stuck to the stapler too!. Can we now stick it to our dress? was the next question and we tried doing that, but now they were not sticking. We also tried it with the seeds and the plastic container, but they did not stick. It was indeed nice to see the smiling faces when the magnets stuck and more so when they did not stick and fell down. Now they stick, now they don't was the magic mantra today. I am sure the genies will be curious to explore all magnets in the house too.

Shivani aunty- 2-4yrs - 20-9-07 - Sensitive

Today just after the break, we had all finished keeping our bags outside and were entering our room, one of us fell down and started to cry! He sat on the floor and was sobbing, all the little khojis turned around and gathered around him. It was amazing to see how lovingly the little ones were gently stroking him and saying soothing words and asking him if he was feeling better....(Suddenly the atmosphere which was hustling and bustlling with action, turned very quiet), It didn't take long for all those warm feelings to seep in and our little khoji was back into action!

Trupti Aunty's group---Becoming the zoo keeper

Today we all explored how different animals move and what kind of sounds they make. We then listened to a story of how the wild animals in the jungle got dirty while playing in the mud and how the zoo keeper offered to help them in cleaning them up. Then we all became the zoo keeper ourselves and washed and cleaned the soiled animals in a tub of water. We were also very excited to use some fragrant liquid soap to wash them and then again washed all of the animals with clean water. Soon we realised we need a towel to wipe them or they would feel cold. So, we took two towels and carefully wiped all the animals and kept them in the zoo. It was very interesting to see one of us place all the animals behind the others and create a sort of a food chain in the jungle with the animals eating other animals. We really enjoyed using the soap and work up some lather in the washing tub. We did not want to go home but our pick up cards came and then seeing the pick up cards, we forgot our zoo and merrily walked away with our bags promising to come back tomorrow and meet the squeky clean animals again.

Trupti Aunty's Group-- Role play Auto driver

Today after our activity, we all wanted to move around and so we arranged the  mats in a row and made a train. The train then travelled to stations like Kolkatta, Trichy, Kerala, Chennai, Mumbai, etc. Then when the train stopped at a station, we got down from it and one of us spontaneously became the Auto driver and took us to our house. Then after a while, our Auto driver was probably tired and asked us to take another Auto. When I said that the other Auto is not ready to go, our dear friend started "scolding" the other Auto walla and told him to take us to our home. Then, he told us to get into the other auto and go. It was really very nice to see how minutely our friend has observed the interactions with auto drivers and between the auto drivers and also how he brought it in our small game in the class. We throughly enjoyed the train and the auto journey.

Trupti Aunty's Group-- Crown and Song

Today we listened to a story of a seed waiting to grow into a plant. Then, we coloured leaves, seeds, flowers and stapled them on to a newspaper strip and made a crown. then, we wore the crown and enjoyed singing a seed song. We acted as seeds waiting to grow and then as grown trees swaying in the breeze. We sang this seed song today:

i am a little seed

waiting to grow

packed tightly in a skin

as you all know.

Put me in the soil

give me some water

keep me out in the sun

and watch me grow.

 

We really enjoyed our dance wearing the crown and also were humming the song by the time we left.

Trupti Aunty's group- Planting our saplings

Today we all planted the marigold saplings we bought from the nursery yesterday. It was fun to keep the sapling in the small "hole" in the ground and to cover it up with soil. While we were doing this, we even got to meet a new friend,"mr snail". The snail was first coiled up in a round but as we planted our saplings, it slowly opened up and started moving. We were all so excited to see it that we did not want to go back to class even.

Shivani Aunty- 2-4yrs- 6-9-07 - Teacher teacher

We were enacting 'Teacher" and one khoji in our session decided to give everybody some sheets of paper and crayons. Paper was collected from the basket and kept aside and then distribution began; one crayon and one sheet of paper was being distributed to each student of our little Teacher. Suddenly the wind decided to blow away all the sheets all over the class, the distressed teacher looked around and said 'Oh ! My paper' and suddenly everybody enjoyed watching flying paper and the entire session including our new Teacher was laughing away to glory...

Trupti Aunty's group--Yummy orange juice

Today we started off by reading some old magazines to see if we could find the letter "g" in it. When we found some  "g" s we cut them and put it in the relevant packet as food for our friend Peek-Peek.

 We also tried to write the letter "g" on slates and explored how it had a curve and two straight lines in it.

After snack break, we played fire in the mountain to pep us up a little as we had started yawning. Then, we talked about how mummy cooks in the kitchen and we eat in the dining room. Since we were to make some orange juice today, we decided to make our own kitchen and dining room in the class with some newspapers. All of us helped each other with great enthusiasm and even kept the cups ready in the dining room for everybody.

Then we squeezed the juice of the oranges using a squeezer. Soon we had some very yummy smelling juice ready. But it looked lesser than we expected and so we added some water. We also added salt and sugar to make it tasty. After the sugar dissolved completely, we took it to our dining room and enjoyed servings after servings of the juice. We  also cleaned up the place well and left the class with great satisfaction.

First day first show--Trupti Aunty's group

Yesterday was the first day of our group and we set off by exploring the room. We were all very happy to see so many books around. Our friend "bhalu"  ( puppet) took us around and showed all the other things in our new room. We also met two more friends Meow who gives us a magic word everyday and "peek-peek" who wants food from us everyday from magazines or newspapers.

Then we opened the newspapers to see what all it offered to us and decided to give our friend peek-peek food from there tomorrow. After having snacks, we made beautiful dining mats for ourselves which we will use for snacks once they are laminated.

When we went home, we were very happy with our new room and one of us even said it was better than the previous one.
