“Expo Des Petits” – An exclusive, enchanting
and thought provoking exhibition was conducted
for the students of Grade – 1 at the school auditorium on 10-12-2013. There were exhibits pertaining to lesson based concepts, values, and
themes connected to the four areas of learning
English, EVS, Maths, Malayalam and Hindi. The
English corner had innovative and imaginative
displays related to grammatical concepts. The
ideas floated and implemented were highly appreciated. The experience with the science corner
was intriguing and thrilling. Different types of
plants, their products, models of houses, feathers,
domestic/wild animal displays honey comb with live
bear etc. urged the children to valley a plethora of
questions.
Walking to the Maths Corner, made the young
minds recap, the all too familiar area objects of different shapes, abacus, bead patterns, weighing scales,
charts gave them a practical demonstration of this
logical world. Nothing is complete without a visit to
our native and official language corner Hindi/
Malayalam. From the colourful glittery and embossed
display of alphabets, charts, drawings to the exclusive
representation of rural life, these exhibits kept the
children glued to their feet. We the teachers of
Grade – 1 would like to extend our heart-felt gratitude to the Principal, Management, coordinator, in-
