Blissful Day at UWCEC!

UWCEC held a special celebration on 10th August, to honour the teachings and sacrifices of the patron saint of the school – Saint Lawrence. All students were taken to the grotto of Saint Lawrence where they offered their prayers and sought his blessings.

Students were explained about Saint Lawrence’s life, his work, his teachings and beliefs and especially his generous nature and his kindness through a power point presentation. They also did some art activities to imbibe the spirit of Saint Lawrence and to understand the true power of his blessings. The Nursery students did magic painting and painted their school building while the Jr Kg and Sr Kg students drew the picture of their school building on an A4 sheet.

At the end the students were explained as to how we must embrace the qualities of our patron saint and become human beings full of love and compassion who always add value to society.

Teaching shapes and colors at UWCEC!

Shapes and colors are an important part of early childhood education. They not only help children identify and organize visual information, but also help them to learn skills in other curriculum areas including reading, math and science.

At UWCEC the teachers organized a few games and activities related to a red circle. Students were shown different objects and among those, they had to identify the red circle. They loved doing this. There was also a worksheet of the color red as reinforcement.

Students played a game along with their teacher by sitting in a circle on the floor. They played with red hula hoops. A tray filled with red Rangoli was given to the students to draw a circle in it.

At the end the teachers showed them the readiness kit where they had to identify the red circle, as a part of revision. All the above activities helped the students to gain practical knowledge in an interesting way.

Fun with Legos at UWCEC!

In a world filled with gimmicky toys that flash and sing, there is still one old-fashioned favorite among young kids. At UWCEC the Nursery kids enjoyed playing with Lego blocks – those little building blocks that keep kids occupied for hours on end as they work on getting their creations just right.

There are many educational benefits of Lego. It’s a wonderful tool for brain development in the early years. Playing with Lego blocks and other construction toys actually builds multiple physical skills. Manipulating the pieces helps to develop hand-eye coordination, as well as bilateral integration – where the two sides of the body (or two hands) learn to work together.

In this way the students of UWCEC developed various skills in themselves while simultaneously having lots of fun.

Mother’s day celebration at UWCEC!

Mother’s Day is celebrated every year to honor all mothers. A mother is the one who always motivates her children, encourages them to move ahead and work hard in life. To express our sincere gratitude to such magnificent women, a special celebration was organized by UWCEC.

All the Jr.kg. mothers were invited to school for this celebration. The students had prepared a cute song for their mothers. The performance was loved by all the mothers and they were proud to see their children perform for the 1^st time on stage.

The students made a crown with the help of their mothers and placed it on their mothers’ heads to show them how special they are. This made the mothers feel on top of the world. Even the students of Nursery made a bracelet for their mothers and the Sr.kg. children made puppets of their mothers with a small note of “I love you Mom” written on it. This is how all children expressed their genuine love and appreciation for their moms.

To cherish this memory, a group photo was taken of all the beautiful ladies who were present. The moms also took a selfie along with their child at the selfie point.

Few mothers also shared their experience of being with UWCEC. This appreciation and feedback from the mothers was a boost for all the teachers who sincerely give their best while teaching the students and while organizing such special days.
