Enriching activities in the Pre-primary Wing across different classes were organised at Apeejay School, Tanda Road, Jalandhar. Keeping up with the spirit of being at the forefront of providing holistic education, the school ensures that students receive a well-rounded learning experience. The Pre-primary Wing of the school focuses on engaging and enriching activities designed to foster cognitive, communicative, and socio-emotional development among young learners.
Pre-nursery
Identify and Quantify Number 4
Understanding and retention of numerical concepts are crucial at an early age. The activity “Identify and Quantify Number 4” was designed to help the youngest learners grasp the concept of the number 4. Through engaging and interactive methods, students learned to identify the numbers, understand their value, and quantify objects, laying a strong foundation for their future mathematical learning.
Nursery
Talk on My Family
Fostering empathy and understanding, the “Talk on My Family” activity was a significant step towards holistic development. This activity encouraged children to talk about their family members, enhancing their cognitive abilities and communication skills. It also promoted socio-emotional skills as students shared personal stories and experiences, learning to appreciate the role of family in their lives.
Rectangle Block Painting Activity
In the “Rectangle Block Painting Activity,” students used blocks to paint rectangles, focusing on the shape and the colour green. This fun and engaging activity helped to develop their fine motor skills, as they had to carefully handle the blocks and paint within the lines. It also reinforced their recognition of shapes and colours, integrating art with learning creatively.
LKG
Chalkboard Writing Activity
The “Chalkboard Writing Activity” was aimed at developing eye-hand coordination among LKG students. By writing on chalkboards, children familiarised themselves with swar (vowels), an essential part of the language curriculum. This activity not only improved their writing skills but also made them comfortable with the basics of literacy in a tactile and enjoyable way.
Neighbourhood Places Activity
To expand students’ vocabulary and understanding of their surroundings, the “Neighbourhood Places Activity” introduced them to various local places and services. Through discussions and visual aids, children learned about different places in their neighbourhood, such as the post office, market, and hospital. This activity was instrumental in helping them recognise and name these places, enriching their everyday vocabulary.
UKG
Making Means of Transport with Foam Shapes
The “Making Means of Transport with Foam Shapes” activity encouraged UKG students to use foam shapes to create models of different means of transport. This hands-on activity significantly improved their motor skills as they manipulated the foam shapes to build cars, buses, and aeroplanes. It also stimulated their imagination and creativity, allowing them to learn new concepts through a fun and engaging process.
