FREE PLAY

Whats happening in the classroom In GDGPS students are engaged in active &deep learning and are not passively taking in information from instructions. They are identifying, thinking, writing, reading etc. To make each student an active player in learning process, an environment must be created in which there are opportunities for students to do tasks.Here teachers are emphasizing on teaching through activities in which the students participate rigourously& bring about efficient learning experience. It gives reality for learning teachers uses all available resources to implement exploratory, constructive & expressional activities.

INNOVATIONS By little hands “ Innovation is important for growth” Innovations means creating new ideas. Something that has never been made before or the process of creating something that has never been made before. Little students at GDGPS used to make innovations according to what has been taught in class and to look at the topic from different point of view. This make them more confident about what they know.

SENTENCE OF THE DAY DURING CIRCLE TIME Circle time is a great way for our KG kids to get a sense of community with other kids of their age & enhance their skills anf improve their attention span. At GDGPS, KG kids start each day with circle time. It helps the children to learn how to form a sentence as they are made to say a sentence each day during circle time. Eg: There are seven continents in the world. Pakistan is the neighbour country of India. The capital of Pakistan is Islamabad. Japan is known as land of Rising Sun. Unity is the essence of a group’s Happiness. We should always remember unity is strength. Unity is very important for any team. Sri lanka comes in Asia continent.

Parents Voice The thing I love the most about GDGPS Kindergarten is my daughters has learned at an early age .They look forward to going to school each day. Finally being a kindergartner, my elder daughter is able to mentor the younger daughter which makes her feel very good about herself. My children are always excited to go to school every day. GDGPS Kindergarten provided them an opportunity to complete the Montessori cycle of “learn-do-teach.” The year increased her self-esteem and confidence. My children were given the opportunity to excel. Thank you so much to both the class teachers for being such a good mentor to my kids. Priyanka Chauhan Mother of Aarna Singh (LKG) Aisha Singh (UKG)
