SHOW & TELL: PRESIDIANS DEVELOP SOCIAL AND PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS

14-02-2022

Show and tell is an important part of a child's learning development, as it helps them to organize information and build their confidence. It's also a great way to encourage a child's interest in a particular topic and a chance for children to think outside the box a little. With the aim of providing an opportunity to our students of Grade Prep and nursery to develop effective communication skills and to build their confidence, a ‘Show and tell’ activity on different seasons was recently organized. They learned and experienced public speaking - a skill a child uses throughout his life. Students spoke about different seasons. They described their favorite season with a lot of confidence, facial expressions, and voice modulation.

STUDENTS STUDY ABOUT THE SHAPES AROUND US!

11-02-2022
2D and 3D shapes activity at Presidium is enjoyed with great enthusiasm. It is really encouraging to see how students develop their self-confidence through the act of handling shapes and sharing their properties. Understanding shapes will enable students to be more in tune to the world around them and see the connections between objects, as well as being better able to appreciate artistic works. Learning 2D shapes is key for future math learning. If students don't recognize 2D shapes, they won't be able to recognize 3D shapes and will not be able to handle geometry. The shapes also help students learn vocabulary words like "side,” "corner,” "angle,” "vertex,” "straight and "line.”
