Term 2 in UKG

By Categories: 
This has been an eventful term, with loads of extracurricular activities and competitions.

They had their annual exhibition "Connoisseur 2010" and it was a real treat, the amount of work that had gone into it was tremendous, the themes were varied from airports to circus to music.

The kids had a great time putting the whole thing together. though parents did most of the work for the junior sections the presentations were done by the kids.

This term has seen a lot more writing and reading skills being encouraged, as well as basic calculations in Math. They have a very organized way of handing out homework so we always know what to expect when.

The observation would start by the first week of December. And looking forward to the Holidays!

XSEED @ SBOA School & Junior College, Chennai

By
SBOA is introducing the XSEED  Curriculum in the 1st Standard this year. As per XSEED , this Curriculum design is led by alumni of Harvard, Cambridge, IIM, and IIT, the team of 250+ professionals consists of former principals, education experts and child psychologists with strong competencies in curriculum design, professional development and assessment. XSEED  sheds more light on it's curriculum by saying.....

LKG Admissions in Chennai - What should we be looking for?

By
Admission season is at hand, soon many schools in Chennai are going to throw their gates open to receive applications for the next academic year. Choosing a school is  quite a job and sometimes with the options given it's a tough decision to make. Few of the overall criteria to consider are..... 1. Distance from the school - Anything more than the recommended 5km radius is too much of a strain on the kids. 2. Mode of transport - School buses are as vital as good infrastructure in picking a school. If you cant walk to school then the most sensible option would be to use the school bus.
