Mothercare School

Little ones at Mothercare school all ready for Diwali!

6th Oct being the last working day before the Navratri, Dussehra and Moharram break we at Mothercare have had our dramatisation of Ramlila by LKG/MAG children. Dandiya by all the children and the finale with Ravan being burnt. What fun.... Watch for yourself

Children filling up Ravan with paper balls before he is sealed and the teachers giving the finishing touches before he is

The Ramlila actors with their Ravan

The Ramlila enacted by LKG and MAG kids made the Ramayana story crystal clear to the younger children too.

Ravan vadh so some more merriment

The Ravan as he stood. A handiwork of the children and teachers. The heavy rain on the 5th had the children so worried about their Ravan.

Eagerly awaiting to see and rejoicing over victory of good over evil.

Stunned silence to see Ravan gone thus

Mothercare kids are super busy these days. Naturally, they are making a huge Ravan for Dussehra.

They are getting ready for the Ravan making fully ready with the Ramayana story. Ravan being stuffed with newspaper balls

Children fascinated with Gandhiji and the anecdotes they learnt about, related to him. What fascinated them the most was Gandhiji's self help and cleanliness mantra. What they learn they put into practice. Perhaps the countries youngest volunteers for Swach Abhiyan, Cleanliness Drive, India.

Watch this enthusiastic child happily singing, Jungle Jungle Baat chali hai from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. ( Hindi Version)

Happy Janamashthmi. The Mothercare Jhanki put up by the teachers and children . A source of immense learning for the kids.

Pani bharat chalice. ....balancing co-ordination, rhythm, synchronization of movements. Focus with fun.

Radhas and Krishnas in Madhuban.

The makhan chors liking home made butter. And did they love it.

And now it's Janamashthmi time. Children are busy making, boys ....bansuri and girls....dandy. They know all the Krishna stories, his pranks, they understand his relationship with his mother, brother, gwal bal, go pis and Radha of course. They can recite many songs and poems. They are so excited about the jhanki and coming dressed as different characters from Raasleela. Wait and watch to see the scenario unfold…

Raksha Bandhan celebrations!

Each panel in this huge big Rakhi has been made by the children of different classes. It's their way of understanding by doing the 'mangalam' they can all recite now. By tying rakhees to the plants, trees, animals ,caretakers, teachers, each other once again respect, love, care and gratitude for all things and people around them was reinforced.

I love trees. I love plants. I am tying them rakhees. I will always take care of them.

Rakhi making  is the source of so much learning for our young ones. They are learning by doing about interdependence, their responsibilities, how nature serves us and what can go wrong if we don't do our part.

LKG'S Rakshabandhan effort.

My fascination of watching the miracle of sowing and  growing continues.

Independence Day celebrations at Mothercare School with different classes making different Handwork with our flag colours. Children learnt many songs and they sang danced and marched to their hearts content. To top it all they had saffron boondi laddoo too. Happy Independence Day ! May everyone be as happy, contented, carefree as the Mothercare children.

 

All set for Swatantrata Diwas
