KINDERGARTEN
Entering Kindergarten is one of the most significant mile stone in a young child’s life and it’s something that is deserved to be celebrated. GISN follows a unique curriculum for kindergartners where we nurture their creative & thinking skills.
SAND WRITING
Kindergartners are exposed to sand writing to develop their fine motor skills. When a child uses his/her fingers to write a letter and number in sand, the whole arm is involved. This gives the complete stroke development as a whole which enhances their fine motor abilities.
OPENING ACTIVITY
Opening activity is one among the methodology which activates the little mind in no time. It also makes them to revise their basics in a fun-filled way. Here at gateway the kids are engaged in five different fun-filled learning activities in five days a week. The mornings are energized by the surprise activities planned by our creative kinder team for our children.
STORY CORNER
The enriching story corners activates their mind to think beyond the set methodology of the classroom. Children come up with their own creative stories based on the picture portrayed in the corner. They narrates story which beautifully depicts the plethora of imagination beyond the horizon. It not only enhances vocabulary but also train the children to be an imaginative speaker.
SUBJECT CLUBS
With the introduction of exclusive club sessions, the students are provided with a wider opportunity to understand the concepts equipped for the current needs in the respective fields. The active participation for every child with the zeal and energy creates interest towards experiential learning.
SUBJECT ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES
Hands on learning activities help children to understand the abstract concepts easily. Here at Gateway the school has grade appropriate subject enrichment activities where children explore different dimension of experiential learning.
NATURE TABLE
The nature table allows the changes that are taking place in the natural world to be given expression indoors. The figures and items on the table depict the essence of what is happening in nature. Creating and maintaining a nature table will sharpen your observation of what goes on in nature. Young children do not knowingly study nature but they are nevertheless unconsciously aware of its laws. The important aspect of a nature table as it relates to children is that the child is able to connect with the objects and the scene depicted on the table.
ASSESSMENT
Assessment of learning happens throughout the year and it is completely based on CBSE board guidelines. Every work of the student will be assessed continuously throughout.
We believe that the observation as well as documentation of the observation is most important method of gaining assessment information about a child.
Observation is the primary assessment strategy used in kindergarten. Teachers focus their observation on specific skills, concepts or characteristics described in the learning expectations and record their observations on regular basis.
For graders there are various ways of documenting observations such as using anecdotal records, checklist of rating scales, Project exploration and term wise pen and paper assessment.
EDUCATIONAL FIELD TRIP TO GEM HOSPITAL
Children of Grade – III to VIII were taken for a Educational Field Trip to GEM HOSPITAL, Perungudi. GEM organizes a health awareness exhibition about “Healthy Living and Disease Prevention”. Experts in various fields assisted the children to understand it with the help of various models.
OUT-BOUND LEARNING
Outbound learning program focuses to impart learning needs such as leadership, Strategic thinking, and Conflict management, team building, effective and productive mode of communication, creative thinking and problem solving techniques. Outbound learning sessions are well guided by instructors and experienced facilitators to meet the need of the era.
