Kindergarten at B.D. Somani
Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten are exciting years at B.D. Somani. In these grades, our students focus on inquiry and curiosity, and build their essential motor, social, emotional, and linguistic foundations. Their days are structured in a way that gives them ample time to explore different kinds and methods of learning – including Block Building, Story Time, Number Time and so on. Students are also introduced to gardening, cooking and field trips to locations of interest. In Junior K and K, students develop self-confidence, sharpen their thinking abilities and equip themselves with the skills they need to thrive in Primary School.
Reception: Where learning begins
Reception at B.D. Somani is your child’s gateway into the wonderful world of learning through questions and creativity. Our curriculum is designed to place their curiosities at the centre, and we strive to provide a welcoming environment that fosters inquisitiveness, discipline and community bonding.
Reflections on Tree Plantation
The climate is changing and B.D. Somani students want to put their best foot forward to combat its dangers. The EMERALD sustainable foundation, CPRA, and MCGM Corporator, Ms. Harshita Narwekar, organised a tree plantation drive on the 5th of June 2022 – World Environment Day at CPRA Greens garden. Manshika and Lahar from Grade 11 and Mr. Siddhesh volunteered to highlight that small endeavours are the stepping stones to fighting against the environmental challenges we all face.
Art Reflections
Lo and behold! B.D. Somani grade 6 students put up a series of Greek mythological plays and art exhibits, inspired by their Greek history lessons. In the process, not only did they make their own props with reference to actual Greek artefacts, but they also tried their hand at making 3D jewellery. At B.D. Somani, a single lesson in a single subject is used to impart skills across fields and topics. Stay tuned for more!
“Mellontikos Technologia – The Future Technology,” May 2022
In May, we had our first Design and Technology exhibition at the D & T Lab called ‘Mellontikos Technologia – The Future Technology’. Our MS students displayed their work, and were wholeheartedly appreciated by parents and fifth graders who came to the exhibit. We look forward to hosting many such D & T exhibitions, showcasing our students’ exceptional talents, and boosting confidence in their innovative ideas.
Grade 6 students making learning authentic
At B.D. Somani, we are staunch believers in Project Based Learning. Recently, our 6th grade students went on a museum trip, and used it as inspiration to propose business ideas, create artworks, and write magazine articles. Students summarised their 4-week long research project with presentations to panelists from the fields of Education, History, Art, Business, Investment Banking, and Startups. Curiosity, Collaboration & Courage shaped their ideas and propelled their activities, as they always do in our school.
Reflections on the year gone by
In his last vlog of the year, our Head of School, Dr Geoffrey Fisher reflects on the bittersweet emotions the end of every academic year bring, the highlights of the year gone by and a ‘back to school’ memory that he will treasure forever.
