The meeting commenced with a warm welcome by the class teacher, followed by an introduction to the key areas covered in Unit 1- “Who we are”, including language skills, basic numeracy, and social interaction activities. Parents were encouraged to provide feedback on their child's experience so far, including any noticeable changes in behaviour, interest in learning, or challenges faced at home.

Transition program for all grade levels kickstarted on 17th April,2023. Transition activities intentionally curated for continuity in curriculum, expectations, and experiences across settings while offering social and emotional support. We believe that environments and routines that encourage shared endeavour, or special time in small groups, are invaluable for children building new friendships and developing a sense of security following a transition. We are aware that our young learners are steadily and gradually forming bonds with new companions and facilitators as they progress through the grades. The children are enjoying the experience of adapting to the new classrooms, routine, and the teachers. Here are a few glimpses from our transition program.

Teachers are more than just educators who not just teach children but are also responsible for ensuring a safe and secure environment for their students at school. Being a teacher is truly a rewarding profession and it is important that all educators are prepared for any situation in school. The classroom is usually one of the safest places for a child especially when they have a facilitator with proper first aid training. We believe, with the right knowledge, they will be able to act quickly in case of an emergency. Our yearly first aid training was one such initiative to ensure our teachers know how to keep the children calm and safe during an incident. This training focussed on imparting skills which will aid in saving lives and preventive measures to reduce the occurrence of incidents. The training included teaching of the simplest instructions, the body of theories, and hands-on experience. We truly embrace our role in providing a safe, secure, and stimulating environment for our children!
Literacy and Numeracy develops through the interactions a child experiences with others in their environment. For example, through hearing stories reading books and showing children pictures with words, games and activities to identify letters, rhymes and songs. Here is a glimpse of our children enjoying various numeracy and literacy activities which assist them in building their learning abilities!
At Vivero, we have built up great diversity and innovation of experiences to engage children in safe and secure environment. Our Young learners improve on reading, comprehension skills, illustrating or reinforcing a skill or concept and differentiating instruction. Here we have our facilitators fostering a visually rich meaningful learning environment at iLearn creating an effective and interactive experience for our children!!
The annual concert was truly a splendid kaleidoscope in motion; a toolbox for making learning visible as we zoomed into a spectacular world of music, drama and action!
Our Annual Day worked as a ‘CAMERA’, a wonderful tool to capture the ‘PICTURE’ as our children took the centre stage. It served as a translator, narrating the magnificent growth and learning captured throughout the academic year.
Open House which was hosted on 25th January at School was a spectacular event.The structure was built on children’s sense of responsibility and accountability for their own learning, and it helped them to hone their understanding of what it means to meet the learning targets. The teachers held discussions with the children to find out what experiences they have had with the topic and what they already know about it. The children represented their experiences and showed great understanding of all important elements of the curriculum. Parents were encouraged to ask questions to the children about the topic and to share any relevant expertise. Each child was involved in representing what he or she is learning, and each child worked on his or her own level in terms of basic skills. It was certainly a joyous display of teamwork, cooperation, organisation as children spoke clearly and confidently in front of the audience.
The event was designed with the concept of re-creating a ‘feel’ of a traditional Kannada village fair for the children and their parents to experience.
Children excitedly rushed over towards the traditional kitchen set-up and even tried their hands at grinding the ‘ragi’ in a ‘chakli’; sieving the flour and making the ‘rotis’. Various rustic games were organized based on the popular ones which are played in villages such as ‘Pagade’ and ‘chowkabara’. Taking turns at milking a live cow added to the experience as well.
A whole range of creative art-activity such as making-a-tribal-face-mask, Kite-painting and Rangolis kept everybody happy and busy. Toddlers and infants were equally enthusiastic as they tried-on traditional attires from the dress-up-corner. The Bangle-lady engaged most of the children with free bangles while the Parrot reader turned out to be a major attraction for both parents and children as they visited the stall for a session. Children could not hide their amazement as they witnessed a live, trained parrot taking part in the act. The ‘Panja Contest’ for the fathers towards the end was a major hit as well. The event wrapped up with a beautiful ‘Dandiya’ performance with all children and their parents rocking on the dance floor.
19th October was our Culmination Day and parents were invited to school to view the work done by their children.
They were led by the children and taken through the learning domains. Our children were thrilled to showcase their learning and even more excited were the parents to listen to them.
