Dental Workshop for the Senior Kindergarten Students and Mothers at St Lawrence!

UWCEC recently organized a dental workshop for the Senior Kindergarten students and their mothers, addressing the growing concern of dental problems among children.

Renowned dental surgeon and root canal specialist, Dr. Pradnya Nemade, was invited to conduct the workshop. For the students, Dr. Nemade emphasized the importance of brushing teeth twice a day and rinsing the mouth after meals. Engaging cartoons about germs and tooth decay were shown to help students understand the concept better.

In the parent workshop, Dr. Nemade discussed signs indicating dental problems in children and shared a healthy dental routine. She also provided valuable tips to help parents instill good oral hygiene habits in their kids.

The workshop concluded with a Q&A session, where parents received useful advice from Dr. Nemade. The interactive session proved to be informative and beneficial for both students and parents, promoting healthy dental practices and awareness.

UWCEC’s initiative to organize such workshops demonstrates its commitment to the overall well-being of its students and their families.

UWCEC Ends the Year with Joy and Celebration

To mark the end of a memorable academic year, UWCEC hosted a vibrant, fun-filled farewell celebration for its young learners. The school came alive with laughter, music, and a sense of joy as students from Nursery to Senior KG enjoyed a morning packed with engaging games, crafts, and special treats.

The Nursery children delighted in paper ball blowing games, Juniors had a blast with balloons, and Seniors enjoyed the lively “yes/no” chair-hopping challenge. Each class also explored their creativity—making summer goggles, headbands, and colorful caps.

A special treat of crunchy bhel, lovingly prepared by the teachers, added warmth to the day, while cartoon screenings wrapped up the celebration with giggles and wide-eyed excitement.

The event wasn’t just a party—it was a beautiful goodbye to a year of growth, learning, and memories. With hearts full of joy, the students stepped into their summer break, ready for a season of fun, rest, and new adventures.

Show and Tell Competition at UWCEC

Schools play a vital role in shaping children’s understanding of nutrition, health, and creativity. One such engaging and educational initiative taken by UWCEC was the Fruits and Vegetables Show and Tell Competition. This competition allowed the students to explore and enhance their confidence and presentation skills.
 
The Jr. Kg. students participated in the competition and each child chose one fruit or vegetable to talk about. They prepared 5 sentences on each ,which was provided by the school on the school app. The sentences covered aspects such as: its name and origin, nutritional benefits, how it contributes to good health etc. Many students also brought colorful charts, real fruits and vegetables and even made a crown of their chosen fruit or vegetable to make their presentation more engaging.
 
They were assessed by their performance based on clarity, sound, confidence, and accuracy of information.After the performance the teachers gave “Great Job ”and “Well done” batches to all the participants as per their presentations.
 
The Fruits and Vegetables Show and Tell Competition was a fantastic initiative that blended education with fun. It not only promoted healthy eating but also nurtured the students’ speaking skills and creativity.

Gudi Padwa Celebration at UWCEC

Gudi Padwa Celebration at UWCEC

Gudi Padwa is a traditional festival that marks the beginning of the Hindu New Year and it is usually celebrated in March or April. This festival has both a cultural and religious significance.

The term “Gudi Padwa” is derived from two words “Gudi”, which refers to a decorative flag on the banner made of a bright cloth and placed on a pole and “Padwa”, which means the first day of the month.

At UWCEC, the teachers explained to the students why we celebrate Gudi Padwa by showing them a powerpoint presentation and also a video based on the story of Gudi Padwa.

The children also erected a Gudi in their own classes and discussed the importance of it. The teachers guided the students and they worshiped the Gudi.

This was followed by various activities done in each class. The tiny tots of Nursery made a Gudi with craft paper under the guidance of their teachers; Jr.kg coloured a Gudi Padwa worksheet and Sr.kg made greeting cards with the help of their teachers. All these activities developed their fine motor skills.

It was a fun and special festival marking the start of a new year for Maharashtrian people and it was celebrated with great enthusiasm by everyone at UWCEC.
