As grammar is the base of language, getting introduced to new sets of grammar rules, new terms, learning how to form sentences, etc. can be very taxing to many. Synonyms and antonyms can help remember the words you are trying to learn. Knowing many different synonyms and antonyms can help you diversify our writing. It promotes an increase in intelligibility, enhances the existing vocabulary, makes English learning a refreshing activity, tweaks their writing skills, etc. Learning a new vocabulary is actually fun to keep this in mind, we, at Presidium, conducted an activity related to Synonyms and Antonyms where students of Grade 3 solidify their understanding through the usage of enhanced vocabulary. They participated in the activities “Guess the correct word” and “Spot the opposite” with great fervor and enthusiasm. Besides this, our young learners have created informative posters for Synonyms and Antonyms.

India has always been rich in culture and tradition, and games have been an essential part of Indian culture since time immemorial. Indigenous games reflect aspects of our cultural values and behavioral norms and were used to reinforce them. Indigenous games are such a device - they teach healthy competition, mutual tolerance, and thinking skills for facing problems, and the attitude to accept defeat and show dignity in victory. Indigenous games still exist in these communities and the communities nurture them as an important part of their culture. Presidians of Grade IV learned about Indigenous games under the Social Science theme – Play. They explored regional games from around India’s different states etc., and made posters and spoke a few sentences about them. By playing these Indigenous games, students could connect with their heritage through sports, which had a deep, lifelong positive impact on them.

Multiplication is one of the main mathematical operations which is taught to students at an early age. To Simplify the concept the students were given hands-on experience and learned that multiplication is repetitive addition. Our students of Grade 1 learned and practiced the multiplication tables of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10. The objective of learning Multiplication tables is to enable us to learn fundamental knowledge concerning numbers systems, measurements, geometric figures, and the meanings represented in the figures. The students were involved in activities like introducing equal groups, learning equal groups as the foundation for multiplication, and the most natural way students begin interacting multiplication, playing games, building arrays and area models, Skip Counting, etc. They not only help in increasing the mental math skills of a child but also helps students understand different concepts better thus strengthening their knowledge of the subject.
