Some of the things they did during the first term of UKG are,

-Writing of 2 letter words like it, on, go, etc...
-Reading of 2 and 3 letter words

On the whole the curriculum is not too heavy nor too light, they have homework on Tuesdays, Thursday's and Fridays. Usually the homework runs to a page with 7 lines.

No exams, only observation for this year also.

Extra curricular activities are plenty.

On the whole a very interesting year for the kids, looking from how it's been so far into the first term.

Fee structure has not changed from last year.

With the September holidays approaching fast, it's just observation going on at school and no 'stressed out parent at home' here!

This was again implemented earlier for classes 6 and up bur only now being introduced in the primary sections. The school starting timings have been revised for classes 6 and up at 8:15 am and for the lower c...
