Lock-down Co-vid 19

As you are all aware, the schools are going to be on lock-down until further notice. These are not holidays, and I suggest that parents still keep children occupied by visiting this blog, go on the ‘class activities’ category and do some of the suggested activities with your children.

Word Bank

this book will help children to look and say some easy nouns. this picture book will be updated according to the class theme and words mentioned in the project web.

Theme of Lenses

These links will help you to structure screen time with educational games for children.

This list will help parents to enhance communication and participatiom from children while reading them the weekly book that is given every monday.

Promoting positive behaviour by using Yoga

Universal interventions that incorporate contemplative practices, such as yoga and mindfulness, have resulted in positive outcomes, such as increasing emotion regulation. Preliminary evidence suggests that yoga programs implemented as universal interventions have been the most effective when researchers have established relationships with teachers. Post-intervention teacher survey data suggested that yoga was an effective pedagogical practice and enhanced children’s positive behaviors. Yoga, when implemented by teachers and with instructional supports, which consisted of videos in this study, may be a feasible intervention.
