Celebrating Father’s Day
Father’s Day is a celebration honouring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, parental bonds and the role of fathers in shaping the lives of their children. SKZ celebrated the day in their own special way by asking students to honour their fathers and putting up a show online. The spirits of young students were not dampened during these unprecedented times, as was evident from the way they celebrated Father’s Day, depicting their unending love and gratitude for their fathers. The kids made cards, badges, trophies for their Dads. They also prepared a dance number to tap their feet with their fathers. It was a memorable event which the fathers and children will cherish for their lifetime.
Celebrating International Yoga Day
Yoga is an invaluable gift of India’s ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself. SKZians celebrated International Yoga Day on 21st June 2021. The excitement of the children was palpable on screen as they geared up to celebrate the International Day of Yoga 2021 in their online classes. Teachers performed various asanas, pranayam and explained the innumerable benefits of practicing yoga to all the kids. All the students pledged to continue practicing Yoga with the aim of maintaining their mind and body balance.
The Rotation and Revolution of the Earth
An experiment on Earth’s rotation and revolution was done on 25th June, 2021, by which the teachers explained to the tiny tots that the Earth’s revolution around the Sun is what gives us seasons, and the Earth’s rotation is what gives us night and day. The curiosity on their face urged them to ask the questions and seek information. For better understanding, a hands-on demonstration was done and the teachers dressed as Earth, Sun and Moon explained the concept. The children were explained that “Rotation” refers to an object’s spinning motion on its own axis, and “Revolution” refers the object’s orbital motion around another object.
Day and Night
The concept of Day and Night is one of the important things that we should teach a child. The teachers explained the concept of Day and Night in the virtual class on 25th June 2021. It is the first step in introducing children to the concept of calendars, time, and tracking of time. The teachers displayed a model of Day and Night. Day is when the sun can be seen from where we are and its heat, as well as light, can reach us whereas Night is when the sun cannot be seen, the sky is dark and light, as well as heat from the sun, cannot reach us. The students were very excited to learn about the concept.
