“Eye opener play”

A Group of Greenway students went to the National School of Drama to watch a "show on 14th April.
The expectations of a Clown Show were previously unclear, but the students found a new respect for the art form from this fanciful, erratic performance. The modern perception of clowns is strongly associated with "Circus Clowns", but the jesters have taken too many forms throughout history. The Art form has modified itself over centuries and existed uniquely in many cultures. At the top of the Clown Show, each Clown introduced themselves with a small routine and themes like Healthy Life Style, Confidence, Motivation towards academic and non-academic, Respect our body, and Positive Parenting Tips.
The show was an eye-opener to the students. They not only enjoyed the show big learned lessons of life.

At Greenway Nursery School, we believe in fostering creativity, learning, and appreciation for the world around us. We recently organized a vibrant and engaging Green Colour Celebration Week in line with our commitment to holistic development. This initiative aimed to not only celebrate the color green but also to instill a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature and environmental conservation among our young learners.  Various activities were planned, starting the week with a Nature Walk. Children embarked on nature walks within the school premises guided by teachers. They explored greenery, observed various plants, trees, and flowers, and learned about their importance in sustaining life on Earth. Hands-on activities like planting seeds/ saplings allowed children to experience the joy of nurturing life. They learned about the growth process and the importance of water and sunlight.   Creativity flourished as children engaged in green-themed art and craft projects. From making leafy wristbands to printing on trees to wearing green-colored dresses and visiting green corners in school, each activity sparked imagination and appreciation for the beauty of green hues.  The Green Colour Celebration Week at Greenway Nursery School was a resounding success, fostering our young learners' love for nature, environmental awareness, and creativity. Through hands-on activities, storytelling, and exploration, children not only embraced the color green but also gained invaluable lessons about caring for our planet. As we continue to nurture their curiosity and compassion, we are confident that they will grow into responsible stewards of the Earth.

Earth Day is a time for us to reflect on our planet’s beauty, diversity, and the importance of protecting it for future generations. What better way to instill these values in young minds than through a fun and educational fancy-dress competition? Pre-primary students of Greenway Nursery School not only showcased their creativity but also learned about the significance of Earth Day through this engaging activity.  The theme for the fancy dress competition revolved around environmental conservation, sustainability, and appreciation for nature. Students spoke on topics like Saving water, saving trees, saving electricity, etc.   Students were judged for their costumes based on creativity, content, memory, props, and confidence. By incorporating these criteria, the competition not only promoted artistic expression but also emphasized the importance of sustainable practices.  The winners were recognized for their effort and creativity through certificates, small prizes, and applause.  A fancy dress competition for pre-primary students on Earth Day served as a dynamic platform to impart valuable lessons about environmental conservation and sustainability. Through creativity, education, and fun, teachers empower the next generation to become responsible stewards of our planet.  The learning was extended beyond the competition by organizing a tree plantation activity along with a nature walk.  Students of pre-school enjoyed coloring on leaves made of paper and tied wristbands.

The rhythmic beats of Baisakhi filled the air as our talented students from Classes I & II  showcased their vibrant dance performances, celebrating the spirit of this joyous festival.

The school was immersed in colors and melodies as the young performers took center stage, captivating the audience with their graceful movements and infectious energy.
Their hard work and dedication truly shone through as they performed traditional Bhangra and Giddha dances, embodying the rich cultural heritage of Punjab.    The Baisakhi dance program was not only a display of artistic talent but also served as a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about the significance of this auspicious festival. The colorful costumes, lively music, and enthusiastic performances created an unforgettable experience for all. 

The audience cheered and applauded the young performers, encouraging them to showcase their best. It was a moment of pride for the school as our students demonstrated not only their artistic abilities but also their teamwork and dedication.

Baisakhi is a vibrant and significant festival celebrated by Sikhs and Punjabis worldwide. This auspicious occasion marks the beginning of the Sikh New Year. In schools, Baisakhi provides a wonderful opportunity to introduce young children to the rich traditions, values, and customs of this festival.

Greenway Nursery School celebrated Baisakhi with great pomp and show. Teachers began the celebration by narrating stories about Baisakhi, such as the story of Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the formation of the Khalsa.  Children came dressed up in traditional Punjabi attire such as colorful suits, turbans, and dupattas. This hands-on activity allowed children to experience the vibrant cultural clothing associated with Baisakhi. Teachers also engaged children in Baisakhi-themed arts and crafts activities. They created their paper kites, which is a symbol of Baisakhi.

Children enjoyed celebrating Baisakhi in school.

Eid-ul-Fitr, a joyous and significant Islamic festival, is celebrated by Muslims around the world. In Greenway Nursery School, this occasion offered a wonderful opportunity to foster cultural understanding, unity, and joy among students.

Students were introduced to the significance of Eid-ul-Fitr through storytelling sessions. Teachers shared stories about the importance of charity (Zakat), fasting (Sawm), and the joy of breaking the fast. This helped children understand the values of empathy, generosity, and gratitude.  Creative activities engaged children in the festive spirit of Eid-ul-Fitr. They made colorful greeting cards for family and friends and hugged and wished each other Eid Mubarak. These activities not only fostered creativity but also taught them about cultural traditions. Students of Pre Primary came dressed in traditional Eid attire, such as green suits, lehengas, and kurtas which added a fun element to the celebration. No celebration is complete without delicious food! Children brought sewain in their tiffin box.
