Session 7- Smart Genie- Tata Sherwood

SESSION 7

One of the kids came to class today at 9.40 itself and told me that he had come earlier too only to find me missing. I told him that I come at 9.30 , to which he said that he will also come in early next time onwards. I took this as a feedback to show how eager he is to attend the class.

We played jumping over to start with as an energizer and all of us really got energized after the game. Then we did meditation which all the kids are enjoying now. The theme today was composition and we used a lot of leaves, twigs, dried flowers to make some things like butterflies, scenery, jungle, tree with leaves and a caterpillar, etc. it was fun for the kids and they were exited to use the leaves. They called it the leaves project. After the break again we played yet another game suggested by the kids . I have observed that the whole group is full of energy for games all the time. If possible, they will enjoy playing games for the whole session too. During the snacks break, they were all chatting about their siblings and it was a pleasant experience to hear them talking proudly about their siblings.

Post break I mentioned that I was going to give them clay and asked them to think of what they would be making with it. They came up with quite exiting ideas and were very happy to use the clay. None of them said that it was messy or dirty. They composed quite detailed things like a girl making humpty dumpty sitting on a wall, a tea set, a fruit basket, a cake , a man with a hat, sun and clouds, and so on.   They were also very proud of their creations and it was seen on their faces when I took a few pictures today.

They were still left with some energy to play and so reflection was done while playing the blind man's buff. Almost all of them said they enjoyed both , the leaves and the clay.   Today's session was indeed full of activity and the kids wanted to stay back even after one o'clock.
