We celebrated Holi virtually and as part of our class activity we made a painting using the straw-blow technique. The children used colours of their choice, while blowing air through the straw they splashed paints on the paper to achieve colourful designs.
Due to pandemic, our children are confined to their homes and we know that sometimes they need nothing more than just meeting their school friends and have a simple interaction to keeping boredom and loneliness at bay. We had organised a virtual ‘Buddy Day’ reunion for our childcare children on Saturday, 29th August’2020, providing them a wonderful opportunity to reunite with their friends. We recreated the school bonhomie through fun and meaningful engagements. It was a morning dedicated to friendship and our children enjoyed interacting with each other. To bring out the real essence of ‘Buddy day’, we had conducted activities relating to building the bond of friendship. The children used their creativity to decorate their buddies via craft activity and loved making friendship fruit salad. They enjoyed the friendship- story session and were excited to sing their favourite rhymes together.
