  • One More Step Towards Success ……… Welcome To Term 2

    Independence Day Celebration

    Yet another marvellous day was celebrated by SGS. A moment filled with patriotism and excitement. On the occasion of Independence Day, Solitairians had fun presenting fancy dress, song, and dance to their fellow classmates. The audience enjoyed the event and was happy to participate actively.

    Our little freedom fighters celebrated the 77th Independence Day with great enthusiasm, and their mesmerising performances stole everyone’s hearts.

    “Masoom”

    School safety has been defined as creating a safe environment for the learners, starting from their homes to their schools and back. This includes safety from any kind of abuse, violence, psycho-social issues, disaster, natural & man made etc. To raise awareness amongst the learners and the teachers “Young Indians” conceived the project ‘Masoom’. Under the project, YI conducted awareness and sensitization sessions with the teachers at Solitaire global schools, Attapur, which were then transferred to the learners too.

    EARLY YEARS ACTIVITIES

    Math Learning Activity

    Addition skills pave the way for years of math learning. To make their concepts strong and clear, EY3 came up with a bug addition activity that was student-led and promoted self-learning.

    The fun way of learning never halts in the early years. Active learning was spotted throughout EY Attapur.

    Multi-lingual Special Assembly

    Most children in the world grow up multilingual rather than monolingual. Having more than one language is something that should be celebrated, promoted, and supported. Multilingualism stimulates brain development and helps children learn because they can think about their ideas in more than one language.
    This is how the early years, Attapur celebrated our rich heritage of multiple languages with a special assembly. The students of EY1 greeted the audience in different languages, while EY2 demonstrated their singing skills. It was a spectacular view to see the EY3 students all dressed up to present a multi-lingual dance performance. Here are a few glimpses.

    Young Learners Experimenting on Taste

    A sense of taste activity was done to explore the sense of taste. Sugar, salt and lemon. A comparison was done to stimulate the scent and sensation.

    Indian flag

    Students enjoyed painting their hands in tricolor. Little ones loved this creative activity.

    Group activity on Soft and hard objects

    Kids’ sense of touch helps them to learn about the types or kinds of objects by using their hands to touch and feel things. The activity shown below really helped them to understand clearly about soft and hard objects around us in a fun and playful way.

    Popsicles Geometrical shapes

    To improve students hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, popsicle colour pattern matching, and problem-solving skills

    PRIMARY SCHOOL

    Shilparamamm Field Trip

    Field trips are exciting educational activities for students and teachers alike. The importance of field trips is not only to build closer bonds with their classmates but also to experience new environments and enjoy their day. When thought about spending a day well Solitaire Global Schools could not think of a place better than Shilparamamm which is indeed a beautiful place with scenic beauty and a traditional outlook. The students in grades 1 and 2 thoroughly had fun exploring the place and bonding with each other.

    Screening GANDHI Movie

    Reconnecting Back with History was the best way to celebrate post-independence. Here at Solitaire Global Schools, we took our learners of grades 5 and 6 to watch the movie ‘Gandhi’ on 23rd August 2023. The idea of taking them to watch a movie was both fun and educational and the learners could connect with our national leader and relate to his biography.

    Global Perspective

    A global perspective looks at global themes and issues. It also promotes an international outlook and cross-cultural awareness. Students at Solitaire global schools, Attapur involved themselves in creating survey forms that would help them understand their topic better.

    MIDDLE & SECONDARY SCHOOL

    Term 1 Examination

    No one knows the importance of an exam better than a student. Here are a few glimpses of how pro actively our exam department conducted the assessments.

    September Calendar

  • Now It’s Time for Assessment & Evaluation

    Active learning engages students in learning through activities such as reading, writing, discussion, or problem-solving that promote analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of class content. Active in-class learning also provides students with informal opportunities for feedback on how well they understand the content. Here are a few glimpses of active learning at Solitaire global schools in Attapur.

    EARLY YEARS ACTIVITIES

    Topic related independent activities

    It’s always fun to learn new topics through interesting activities. This is how the early years had a good time understanding the topics.

    Reading Rabbits

    It is often said that books are the window to the world, and people who are constantly reading can’t agree with the adage anymore. Reading not only enhances one’s knowledge but also helps improve communication skills and inculcates holistic development. To develop an interest in our tiny tots in the early Years, Attapur, and the value of reading books even in an era dominated by the internet, we celebrated ‘Reading Rabbit’, as a part of Reading Day.


    The students conveyed the importance of reading to their friends, and we had the lovely 8th-grade students volunteer to read out story books to our little ones.
    The outdoor ambiance and a lovely reader with their favourite storybook…What more could they ask for?

    The students thoroughly enjoyed the activity, and so did the seniors.

    Voluntary services by Grade 12

    The initiative started last year and has been put into practice this year too. As a part of their voluntary service, students of grade 12 played a vital role in helping students across the early years. Here’s a glimpse of the same.

    Online PE & Dance Class

    Online Sports and dance classes: When we say holistic development, we mean it. The online classes too could not stop our students from developing their gross motor skills. Have a look at how the teachers involved the students in sports and dance during online classes.

    Neighbourhood walks provide students with a range of physical, mental, social, and educational benefits. Encouraging regular walks as part of a student’s routine can contribute to their overall well-being and enhance their learning experience.

    EY1 had fun exploring the letter F with fruits, flowers and miniature fairies.

    It was a fun day filled with exciting events where the little ones were happy to unwind and relax. There was a fishing activity that helped improve their hand-eye coordination. The display of fruits attracted the children to happily eat them, and the cleaning of fruits before eating them and their health benefits were also discussed.

    Dance is the hidden language of the soul

    A solo dance competition was conducted at SGS Kattedan to give a chance to the little superstars of Grades 1 to 9 to prove themselves as the best dancers!

    EARLY YEARS ACTIVITIES

    Recreational tag games

    Playing sports early enables children to participate in social interactions and build key social skills. This, in turn, will teach children to develop and practise various mental and moral qualities they learn in the field. Have a look at our tiny tots at Solitaire Global Schools, Attapur – EY3 working out on improving their gross motor skills.

    Literacy fun activity based learning

    Learning the alphabet involves much more than reciting the ABC song. Kids learn the alphabet when they learn letter recognition, learn letter sounds, and how to form letters. This is how they learned letter recognition in the Early years.

    Plant a sapling

    Today’s students are our tomorrow’s future. To keep the earth green, the little ones of Early years, Solitaire Global schools, Attapur and Kattedan planted little saplings to be cared for and nurtured by them. An initiative towards going green and learning to take care of plants is what they learned during the activity.

    Field trip: Visit to community places

    It was a fun day when the tiny tots visited the community places as a part of their ongoing theme. With live demonstrations from the firefighters, the learners learned about fire safety and understood the role of firefighters and how they protect life and property in the event of a fire in their area. Also, rescuing and protecting people in the event of other emergencies.
    They were so excited to see the firefighters in action and experience the thrill.

    The little ones in Solitaire global schools, Early Years learned that community helpers are the individuals who live and work in our community and ensure that the community stays healthy, safe, and happy. It was an exciting experience for them to see the policemen and how they work hard for the safety of the citizens. The most exciting part was viewing the control room and getting a glimpse of the city. What a lovely day embedded with information.

    Visited the Police station and met the police who are one of the most important community helpers, and learned about protection and our safety. Good police community interaction is essential for fostering confidence between the police and the general public.

    Our Community Helpers…… 

    Community Helpers activity ” is a wonderful way to broaden the child’s horizons and help them learn about the world beyond home–their community. Community Helper’s Day was organised in the school for Early Years .They were dressed up as nurses, policemen, doctors, soldiers, vegetable vendor, farmers, and teachers. They presented their views happily and said that they loved their job. They enjoyed the role play that was given to them by teachers. Altogether, it was a very fruitful activity for the little ones.

    Glimpses of 1st Day

    First day of school always comes with mixed emotions and it’s even more when you are going to school for the first time. The facilitators of EY1 saw to it that they made the day fun and easy for both students and parents at Solitaire Global Schools by organizing parent involvement activities. Both the students and parents indulged in art, craft, music and games making the day worthwhile.

    Nature Walk

    Nature Walk, as the name suggests itself, is walking through nature while sensing the atmosphere around – smelling the air, listening to sounds and feeling the touch of the rocks, leaves, trees, mud or anything. Nature walk for kids is as important as it is for grown-ups. This is how our tiny tots of our early years began their day with a lovely stroll from the school to the nearest park, exploring every inch and enjoying the surroundings with their friends and teachers.

    An Amazing day before Summer Break

    Making the last day of school a memorable one. Here are the tiny tots of early years having a wonderful time meeting and greeting the mascots. There can’t be anything more they can ask for when the characters are none other than their favorite Nobita and Ben 10. The students were excited and extremely happy to see and spend time with their favorite characters.
