Fruit Day Part 1 in Shanti Juniors Bhumkar Chowk

At Shanti Juniors Bhumkar Chowk topics are made interesting through hands-on-activities in Early Years. School had set up their own fruit market as a reinforcement to the topic ‘visit to a fruit vendor’ – on Monday. Each child bought a fruit which was displayed in a creative way by the staff. Children had a fun filled experience of buying fruits from the vendor using artificial currency. Knowledge of how each fruit is bought, calculation of Grams, Kilograms and dozens were also taught to Senior KG students by giving them practical examples. Students of each class were excited to see the use of weighing scale and pretending to be buyers. The enriching experience gave the students an opportunity to showcase not only their proficiency in handling money but also to understand the skill of buying the right fruit after naming each fruit. Our little juniors also learned more about the taste, smell, colour and texture of each fruit. Children understood the importance of washing the fruits before eating and benefits of consumption of fruits in regular diet.
