Roars, Parades and Phonics: Learners at Apeejay School, Tanda Road turn learning into play
The Pre-Primary explorers stepped into the wild with a colourful animal parade.
Pre-Primary and Nursery students at Apeejay School, Tanda Road, Jalandhar took part in activities built on one idea: that young children learn best when they are having fun. One class marched through an animal-themed ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ parade. While the Nursery learners worked on letter sounds through a picture-matching exercise.
The Pre-Primary explorers stepped into the wild with a colourful animal parade. It was followed by animal dances, sounds, movements and playful interactions. Children took on the roles of different creatures, which let them practise observation by noticing how animals look, move and sound.
The activity sparked creativity, confidence, observation and self-expression. For children this young, performing in front of classmates and teachers is also a gentle first lesson in speaking up and participating in a group.
In a separate classroom activity, Nursery learners explored phonics through a letter sound and picture matching exercise. They identified letters, recalled the sound each one makes and matched that sound to the right picture.
The exercise strengthened letter-sound recognition and early literacy skills. Linking a sound to an image gives children a concrete anchor, which is why such matching tasks are widely used when children first learn to read.
The two activities look quite different, one loud and energetic, the other quiet and focused, but both rest on hands-on, play-based learning. In the parade, children learned by moving and imitating. In the phonics task, they learned by handling and matching. Neither relied on rote repetition or sitting still for long stretches, which suits the attention spans and curiosity of early learners.
The activity at Apeejay aims to turn learning into a joyful adventure that builds confidence and curiosity through direct experience. Its message to families was simple: learning at Apeejay is always fun. For the little explorers of Tanda Road, the week brought roars, rhythm and letter sounds in equal measure.
