Celebration of Vivid Hues at IES Kindergarten
Celebration of Vivid Hues at IES Kindergarten
Early Period of Learning is the most colourful stage of life. Parents and educators must create a vividly colourful world for our little ones during this period. A very important part of childhood is recognition and identification of colours. Colours can sway thinking, change actions, and cause reactions. As a powerful form of communication, colour is irreplaceable. Moreover, early identification of colours helps to create the cognitive link between visual clues and words.
After the exciting ‘Vidyapravesh Week’ at IES, the Kindergartners had fun filled colour days starting with primary colours followed by secondary colours. Thus, extending the first days of excitement to the rest of the month.
The children were introduced to different colours throughout the week by celebrating each day as a specific colour day. Celebrating colour days is great to accentuate the importance of each colour in the minds of the children and help them learn different things associated with colours.Children were engaged in day wise activities which included colouring, craftwork, storytelling, rhyme time and games. They were shown informative videos on colours.
On day 1, Red Day, KG 1children painted strawberries with cotton buds. KG 2 children made red apple frames with paper plates. On Day 2, they explored yellow colour. KG 1 did bubble wrap painting on beehive outlines and KG 2 on pineapple outlines. Day 3 was Blue Day. KG1 Children coloured blue fish on paper plates and KG 2 children designed a fish tank. Day 4 was Green Day. KG1 children painted grapes using glue cap printing and Kg 2 did leaf printing. The whole week was very exciting for the kids as they explored different colours each day with lots of fun filled activities. Last day of the week was the most interesting as they got to colour their very own rainbows with all the different colours. The children also enjoyed finger painting and loved playing with colours. As per the feedback from the parents, the little ones were very happy with the activities and treasured their artwork as souvenirs.
To reinforce the colour theme, all the kindergarten teachers along with the Headmistress, came dressed in the respective colour of the day which made the experience even more involving, and fun filled. Children proudly flaunted their dresses and artwork.
The colourful week concluded on Thursday April 20, 2023. At IES kindergarten, every week is a celebration and there are many exciting activities awaiting our little ones.
