    EARLY YEARS ACTIVITIES

    Understanding The World Exhibit

    To enrich life immeasurably, one must approach it with a sense of wonder and discovery, always challenge one’s potential, and try out new things. At Solitaire Global Schools, Attapur we constantly encourage our students to gather distinct and diverse experiences. With this intent, the Early Years section of the school organized the ‘UTW Exhibit’, an exhibition, exclusively done by our little wonders on 2nd December 2023.
    The exhibit not only showcased lovely projects but also the talent of our stars who confidently demonstrated their models. The parents were excited and extremely happy to see the learners speak so well and applaud the understanding of the content. Stay tuned for more events by the sweet munchkins.

    World Soil Day

    “Planting trees is to plant a life – Let the Green be seen” The little learners of Early years at Solitaire Global Schools, Attapur celebrated “World Soil Day – Plantation drive Haritha Haram” on 5th Dec 2023 to know the importance of trees and soil in everyday life.

Haritha Haram Program is one of the successful programs implemented by the Telangana Government and keeping that in mind the lovely kids of EY planted medicinal herbs and plants on the campus.

    Festivals of India

    Whenever we think or hear about the word festival automatically a smile comes on our face. We started thinking of the clothes we would wear, the food we would eat, gifts we would exchange. But celebrating special days or any festivals in a school means much more than that. There are many special days and festivals celebrated throughout the world but celebrating a festival in a school with friends and teachers is a very special thing for any child. To keep the spirit of festivals in the young minds of the little learners of Early years, Solitaire Global Schools, Attapur held a special assembly on 8th Dec 2023. A festival is an occasion of enjoyment and celebration which promotes a child’s social interaction and harmony.
    Kids will remember an important day or festival day only if they are told about what the occasion signifies. So a celebration makes them aware of things in a more fun and happy way. For a child, celebrating events and festivals in school has become an integral part of growing, learning new activities, and building a strong cultural belief. Celebrations bring the students or the children closer to each other’s cultural beliefs and traditions to develop respect and understanding for each other’s customs and traditions.
    The students enjoyed performing multi-cultural festive songs along with lovely speeches and a game of  “Guess the festival”. Here’s a glimpse.

The event ended with cheerful Christmas greetings as the students danced to the melodious tunes of ‘Jingle Bells’ and ‘ We wish you a merry Christmas.’ The dazzling entry of Santa Claus added to the joy and excitement of the students.

Here are a few glimpses of active learning at Solitaire global schools in Attapur.

    EARLY YEARS ACTIVITIES

    Stars of the day

    Rewards are the best way to motivate a child to do their best. Stars of the day in the early years. Have a look at our twinkling little stars.

    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.

    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.
