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 and 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. There are seven days in a week. Names of the week. There are 12 months in a year. Name of the months. There are 5 seasons in a year. Name of the seasons. There are 365 days in a year. Some sentences related with Christmas. The capital of Japan is Tokyo. National flower and national bird of Japan are Cherry blossom and Green Pheasant.

ASSEMBLIES An assembly is a gathering where all the KG students will join together in every morning. Assembly will start with the morning prayer followed by theme song. Then the students will stand in pledge position for the Indian pledge. After the formal part, will move to the speech where the kids will speak 3-4 lines on anything they have prepared and then the GK Question will be asked. Then all students will sing a rhyme together and then at the end phonic song.
