News Letter January - 2020 Class-II

Dear Parents, Wishing everyone a wonderful and happy 2020, we welcome the little ones back to school after

a relaxing winter break where the children enjoyed the warmth of their parents love and

comfort of their homes.

Vacations are the best opportunity for the parents to spend quality time with their children

which is very important for the kids all round development. The last month abounded with

festivity and fun, where teachers helped kids in making variety of Christmas crafts. They made

beautiful Christmas cards, Santa caps, snowman by using waste material, Reindeers and many

more . The new year means new beginnings. Winter has set in full swing and it is a good time for

the children to be out playing in the sun, developing their physical strength and motor abilities,

for that they will do lots of outdoor exercises, drills, yoga and games too. Keeping academics

on 1st place , Our plans for the month of January are just as exciting. In continuation with

several other activities planned out.

VALUE OF THE MONTH-UNITY IN DIVERSITY

Unity in diversity is a famous concept which best fits on

India. It was Nehruji who coined the phrase, "Unity In

Diversity" to describe the country India. Unity in Diversity is

a concept which signifies unity among individuals who have

certain differences among them. These differences can be on

the basis of culture, language, ideology, religion, sect, class,

ethnicity, etc. The reinforcement of the value will be done

through circle time discussion ,various activities like stories

songs and games.
