“I find peace where the sun kissed leaves dance in the melody of the cool breeze that floats through the air.” Children love to go to the park. Keeping this in mind Presidium Indirapuram planned a nature walk activity to a nearby Park to incorporate experiential learning, so as to build a connect to the immediate environment as nature is great source of learning. Children thoroughly enjoyed the activity and connected well with the ongoing theme. They observed different plants and trees, identifying tall short trees, various textures of leaves and classifying its shades and colors. They learned to identify different flowers and name them. Further they shared and talked about different games played in the park and animals and insects seen around. Children even learned about various ways to keep the park surroundings clean and pledged the same.

Community Helpers are people in professions that directly impact the lives of others. They deliver a service that makes our lives easier. It is important for all of us to know the ways in which Community Helpers work. We can also help them do their jobs better if we understand the role they play. In many ways community helpers remind us of how interconnected our lives are. Many community helpers have easily identifiable work attire or clothes. This makes it easy to know their role in the community and is helpful if you need to approach them for help. A policeman or firefighter’s uniform and a doctor’s coat thus become important clues of what they can do. Some community helpers also have identifiable means of transport e.g. the police car, the fire truck the mail van, the ambulance etc. With an aim to make Presidians familiar with our community helpers, an activity was organised for the students of grade Prep in which they dressed up as Community Helpers belonging to different professions. They enacted their roles with realistic props along with appropriate words. The activity helped to instill respect for all the professions and learn to value them better.
