On April 27, 2023, MBS International School organised an activity called ‘My Body Parts and their functions’ to familiarize children about their bodies.

During the activity, children learned about the different body parts and their functions, which enabled them to perform various tasks. Additionally, it was an opportunity for the children to expand their vocabulary and learning experiences.

Various engaging activities and games were included in the programme, such as Power Point presentations, flashcards, and fun rhymes like ‘Head, shoulders, knees, and toes’ and ‘Ten little fingers.’ The goal was to make the learning experience more enjoyable for the children.

Overall, the activity was a fun-filled experience that enabled the children to become more aware of their bodies and understand their different functioning.

It is rightly said that learning is a product of the activities of learners. Thus, to help the students gain experience, develop confidence, and foster creativity and communication skills, an activity "Conquer Your Fear-Role Play" was organised by Entity Club of MBS International School on April 26, 2023, for the students of Class V.

Students got an opportunity to showcase their presentation skills and, at the same time, learn while having fun. Students presented a small act in which they portrayed themselves as famous personalities.

The students awaited their turn with impatience. Each student gave a passionate performance, enhancing the intrigue of their characters with a range of costumes and props. They became totally absorbed in the role, and they spoke with utter assurance. Throughout the performances, they helped each other stay inspired and encouraged. The children were graded according to standards including speaking clarity, body language and expression, and character portrayal.

This activity proved to be a great success. The students not only overcame their fear of public speaking but also had a joyful learning experience.

“Someone will always be Prettier, Smarter, Intelligent, and Powerful. This or That... But that someone will never be me. I love being me and I am Unique.”

We firmly believe that fostering self –expression and the celebration of individuality is a critical aspect of our students’ overall growth and development. To meet this end MBS International School organised ‘I am Unique’ activity on Monday, April 24, 2023 aimed at nurturing the self-awareness and confidence of our Nursery and Kindergarten students. This activity provided an opportunity for each child to share information about themselves.

The activity was a great success in empowering the students to embrace their individuality and appreciate their distinctiveness. The students demonstrated commendable courage and enthusiasm in sharing their unique attributes, which were heartwarming to witness. By recognising and celebrating their uniqueness, the students have become self –assured and confident individuals. We are committed to continue to provide opportunities that help our students grow and flourish as unique individuals.

Pre-Primary education gives the child the foundation to take pleasure in learning for the lifetime. The main aim of Pre-primary education is to attain an optimal perceptual, motor, cognitive and socio-emotional levels as the basis for readiness for school education and the life in the society. The starting point is the uniqueness of the child, active learning, and integration in a group.

In pursuing the aims of Pre-Primary education, MBS International School welcomed the tiny tots of Nursery and Kindergarten by organizing ‘Acclimatization Day’ on Saturday April 1, 2023. The passionate facilitators welcomed the young ones as well as their parents. The facilitators made a frame for the picture shoot, which helped to create memories that would last a lifetime. Many educational and fun filled activities like hopscotch, block game, Simon says, Toss the Ball, Freeze Dance were conducted to make the children comfortable in the new environment of school. Students thoroughly enjoyed the activities and fully immersed themselves in them.
