Transportation Week
‘Connecting you to me; them to us; here to there and there to here, transportation eases travel and mobility’
Delving into a transportation and mobility topic in preschool is a natural place to go! Children already have so many life experiences playing with mobile toys and riding in cars, on buses, and maybe even on trains or aeroplanes. They see construction trucks moving around, helicopters hovering, and ambulances zooming by. The students love talking about their favourite vehicles and experiences of travel. The pre-primary section planned awesome, creative hands-on activities to familiarize students with various modes of transport.
The tiny tots of Pre-nursery had a thrilling week learning transport and mobility. The teachers with creative aids introduced the topic of the week. The children enthusiastically were involved in games like picking the vehicle and place on the right mode charted by the teacher, sorting the pictures and pasting it in the correct sequence, picture talk, blowing and directing your boats. The students crafted their personal mini air-craft using pegs and popsicles. Through an experimental demonstration, the children were acquainted with, ‘Sound can travel through the medium of water’. The highlight of the week was the role play where the children enacted the scene of handling emergencies and the little firefighters got an insight into handling emergency situations.
The little enthusiasts had fun watching interesting visuals based on the theme, transport and its types. They played puzzles and answered the fun riddles. The children used their bodies to display a train configuration.
The inquisitive little ones of Prep were familiarised with the utility of an ambulance, a service available in the school. The children showed great involvement while doing the activity of vehicle classification based on their modes.
The exposure through the week captivated children with the essence of the experiential learning experience.
