Summer camp at Bright Sparks

2009-04-13T14:24:00.001+05:30

KampKaBOOM organized by Bright Sparks Montessori and Hobbies 4 All has completed its first week of fun and frolic at the Benson Town Centre. The camp was attended by 21 children and each day was eagerly awaited by the participants for it brought with it a new theme and new activity.

On Monday we started with the theme Wriggly Wiggly, we had a story telling session based on the Eric Carle book ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ our children just loved it. Then it was time for the group activity of the day - a skit. They had to select the roles, plan the dialogue and present a skit. This was an opportunity for sharpening their interpersonal skills and reinforced their understanding of the story.
Our individual activity comprised of making a table mat – featuring our star of the day ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ here we deployed a layered collage technique combined with papier mache to create an adorable table mat. Our skill sessions are woven into the art work so that art exploration and hobbies evolve as a result of the child’s effort.

Tuesday was set aside for Growing Wonders – plants were the key focus. We were exploring gardening as a hobby. We had asked the children dress as a gardener would in overalls and a hat. We planted peas and decorated the pot to look like a smiling doll. Children then took these pots home to water them and care for the growing seedling. They made a booklet shaped like a bean after listening to the story of Jack and the Bean stalk. The booklet had the stages of germination. Our children also enjoyed enacting the poem I am a tiny seed. There never is a dull moment at Kamp KaBOOM!

On Wednesday it was time to Rumble, Rumble, Rumble hear the Jungle Rumble. The earth shakes and sways and the birdies fly away – enter all things wild and wonderful. Elephants and lions, monkeys and snakes, alligators and eagles. They descended on Kamp KaBOOM to spend the day with our children. We had a puppet show by the children after they made their finger puppets. We also had a team activity where they made a huge adorable elephant – then they set about trying to pin his tail while blindfolded. Absolutely hilarious attempts watch the videos on www.summerhobbies4all.blogspot.com.

On Thursday we had an Alien Invasion – watch out parents all the children have spaceships and are well versed with the planets after this session. Not to mention all the aliens they have on board. Cool isn’t adequate to capture the beauty of this piece of craft work smashing is close amazing is better. Wow is what we heard most mamas say when they came to collect the children on Thursday.

On Friday our Camp celebrated Easter we had a treasure hunt and the children had to hunt for - what else but shiny beautifully wrapped easter eggs that were hidden around the play space and garden at Bright Sparks Montessori. It was so hugely popular that after the camp coordinators were exhausted trying to find new hiding places the children took over and the game went on amid squeals of delight. Then they made finger licking delicious, dripping mmmmmmm irresistible chocolates – then they ate the fruits of their effort – more chocolate. At the end of which they were looking like Easter bunnies with bright shiny eyes and chocolate smears finally they decorated little baskets in which they carried the remaining chocolates home to share with family and friends.

On Saturday Harry Potter came visiting – we watched a Quidditch game from the Harry Potter DVD. The children then made fridge magnets that resembled the snitch that Harry Potter is assigned to catch in the Quidditch match. They also made a wizards hat for themselves and then watched a live magic show that we had organized for them. By the end of the day you could hear them experimenting with spells. The team activity began with the children donning the sorting hat and being assigned a house – the same 4 houses from potter’s school namely Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Griffindor and Slitherin. We had a game for them it was fun watching the team spirit come alive.

Heading into a new week and lots of fun this week we have 2 venues – Benson Town and Richards Park. See you there with the kids. Adios.

Mount Carmel College sent their final year students to observe our school in February. I was expecting this since they visit every year and do a report on their findings. Our students were very curious when the girls came. They wanted to know why and what they came for. Some decided to strike really cute poses for the cameras, others ignored them some others were looking offended because their space was invaded.

2008-11-11T12:56:00.001+05:30

We are learning about people who help us. We are trying to make this topic more interesting by inviting parents and interesting people from the neighborhood to speak to the children. If you would like to come to school and talk about your work to the children it will be appreciated. At the moment we have a dentist, chef and nutritionist who are expected. We are looking for professionals or family and friends who can spare 15-30 minutes - carpenters, mechanics, moms, dads, policemen, engineers and others

Term 1 at Bright Sparks

2008-11-11T12:53:00.001+05:30

In June we started the new academic year. We have now completed one term and looking back I have some great times that I would like to share with you. The seniors came in waiting to go back to their lessons and friends. In the first few weeks they were content to revisit the materials they had worked with last year. Slowly they began searching for the new toys and learning aids that had been added for the New Year. Every year we add new materials to our environment and also add new storybooks to the reading corner. The response we got to the new additions was big smiles and happy faces.
After our playgroup stopped bawling they have started to look forward to absorbing knowledge from all around the school. They are so curious and learn so fast, it’s amazing how they grasp concepts. They carry the same enthusiasm and energy to the play area where the minders get exhausted just watching them.
We had some special events this term – the colour week, Independence Day celebration, colouring contest and pet day.
The colour week as a hue success we were able to help almost all the children to learn about colour. It was effortless and fun, even the teachers participated. We would lie to thank all the parents who went out of their way to dress according to the planed colour themes. To show our appreciation we have uploaded clips from the colour week at http://youtube.com/user/brightsparks2010 we wanted to share some of the fun moments with you.
In August we sang the national anthem every morning – all the art work revolved around India. We made maps, hand printed peacocks and the tricolour. On Independence Day our students dressed as leaders and citizens from various parts of India. It was a joy to see their confidence as each one walked up and introduced him/ her self. We had Goans, Gujratis, Singh the king from Punjab, Nawabs of Hyderabad, Chacha Nehru, Kashmiris, Brides from Lucknow, Tipu Sultan and more. Video clips of the program are up on youtube. Do watch them and you can share them with friends and family. The program was a great learning opportunity for the students they experienced diversity in dress and culture. They had a chance to polish their speaking skills and I have to add that this group didn’t show any stage fright. Well done little stars!!
Our little ones took the colouring contest very seriously. They sat quietly and pondered over colour selection. Each one was concentrating and trying to keep within the lines. We noticed the improvements since June and realized the talent and potential of our students. Everyone made such an effort that they deserved a certificate for it. Our winners were Afra and Qidath who were tied at first place. You can visit the school to see all the completed entries along with the winners on the bulletin board.
The colouring contest coincided with Teachers Day - we’d like to thank you for all the roses. As it was a day to celebrate all the children were given lollipops.
We are headed for the first term break from 29th September to 12th October. Wising you and all the members of your family a very Happy Eid and Happy Dussehra. Have a restful holiday and be back full of energy for the new school term.
