Event - HSR

Our grandparents play a huge role in our lives. They are at the top of our family tree. They provide us with guidance and wisdom, and a lot of us have fond memories of bedtime stories and family occasions with our grandparents. This special day is dedicated to honouring the invaluable role grandparents play in our children’s lives. We invited all grandparents to join us for a memorable day of quality time with their grandchildren and engaging activities planned just for them.

On the special occasion of Founders Day, we pause to recognize and appreciate the invaluable contributions of our support staff. Their dedication ensures a safe, clean, and nurturing environment for everyone, and their hard work behind the scenes is the foundation of our vibrant school community. At Vivero, Founders' Day is a time to reflect on the core values of care, innovation, and inclusivity that have shaped our journey. It is a day to unite as a community and reaffirm our dedication to these ideals in all that we do.

Our children had a wonderful time at school, enjoying games, sharing snacks with classmates, and watching their teachers dance for them. They also joined in the fun, dancing along5.jpg to their favorite rhymes and tunes. It was a joyful day filled with laughter, creativity, and togetherness!

Diwali celebration in school was great fun, Our children came dressed up in their traditional wear. They decorated beautiful Diya’s with their choice of decorative items and took them home to make their creation from school a part of their celebration at home.

Celebrating the joy of giving was a wonderful opportunity to teach young children about empathy, kindness and the importance of helping others. At Vivero, we believe in leading by example and making a positive impact on the world through our actions. Our goal is to inspire lifelong philanthropy and cultivate a spirit of giving, laying the foundation for empathetic learners in the 21st century. This Joy of Giving initiative involved children in a week-long series of activities focused on promoting social and emotional development, fostering a sense of community, and instilling the values of generosity and compassion. We were excited to collaborate with our parents on this noble cause to support communities that are less fortunate.

A ‘playdate’ at Vivero was an organized event designed to encourage social interaction, bonding, and shared experiences between children and their parents. It allowed them to experience the school’s pedagogy and most importantly our unique child centric philosophy that recognizes and values the essential role parents play as partners in their child's learning and development.

When the Olympic season was around, we at Vivero collated a series of fun and educational activities to engage our children and introduce them to the excitement and values of the Olympic Games. These activities were simple yet engaging, fostering physical activity, cultural awareness, and a sense of global unity among our Nursery, K1 & K2 learners.

This is the Friendship month and we celebrated the Buddy Day at the Maker Faire! on Saturday, 10th August 2024. As the school got ready to welcome the children and their buddies, the teachers were working with great zeal to put up engaging activities for the little ones. Everyone were thrilled to honour the friendships our children which they have formed at the school, along with their non-Vivero buddies. It was a day filled with creativity and camaraderie. There was lot of activities like Pom pom shooters, Ball transfer, Pin wheel fun, Ribbon dance, Photo booth etc. which the children enjoyed thoroughly.

Vivero International is known for its nurturing and stimulating environment that fosters a love for learning. During the Joy of Learning event, parents got to witness firsthand the children engaging with the learning corners and explore other vibrant spaces, interact with the teachers and learn while at ‘play’. You will get an opportunity to see the children own their spaces to exhibit their sense of belonging. Children enjoyed doing all the activities along with their parents and were excited to show their classrooms. They enjoyed moving to the music as the parents watched them perform to the Music curriculum.

On June 21, 2024, International Yoga Day, our children had a wonderful experience practicing yoga led by one of our Pre-Nursery students' grandfathers, who generously volunteered to teach them. The children thoroughly enjoyed the session, embracing the calming and invigorating practice of yoga under his guidance.

We had a wonderful Dino-mite morning at a residential building close to our school. There were interesting activities and engagements planned for the children in sync with the Dino theme. It was a lovely morning spent with children who had a wonderful time exploring all the Dino related activities.

Literacy Week is an exciting annual feature on our School calendar. It's our constant endeavour to inculcate a lifelong love for books and stories in children. Setting the foundation for Communication, Language and Literacy in the early years gives children head start on expanding their vocabulary and building independence and self-confidence. It helps them learn to make sense not only of the world around them but also people, thereby building on personal, social-emotional skills. The literacy week encompasses a spectrum of activities such as story reading, pretend play, revisiting phonics through creative engagements, reading buddies, parent incursions and dress up day.

Grandparents are the family's greatest treasure, the founders of a loving legacy, the greatest story tellers and the keepers of traditions. There was joy and laughter all around as grandparents bonded with their grandchildren at the event specially curated for them. They had a lot of fun playing games with the children. We also heard some very interesting stories from a few grandparents that inspired us all so much.

Buddy Day was all about celebrating friendships and special bonds, making secure attachments with each other and creating happy memories. Celebrated on the 5th of August, it also showcased the incredible sense of community that Vivero Preschool is all about. The theme for the event was “Art Fest” The children were welcomed along with their buddies with some cool dance numbers put by our staff which was followed by clicking individual photos of buddies and their children at the Vivero photo booth. We also organised many interesting activities like Magic painting, Thread painting, Pointilism etc. The finale was the puppet story “Blue and Yellow” by our wonderful teachers. It was an awesome experience for all the children and their parents and they were very happy to participate in all activities.

Vivero transition program was designed to benefit and help children transition smoothly into the new academic year. The task of working in a new environment, along with a new group of friends and with a new teacher can bring about profuse emotions in the little ones. The Vivero Transition Program is built to smoothen out these experiences that can sometime be overwhelming.

The transition program at Vivero HSR was implemented keeping the same core ideas in mind. Children of all programs participated actively in all the activities. We could see the enthusiasm and energy in all the children in spite of moving into new classes, new teachers and new peers. Our experienced teachers have made sure that all children are well settled in their classes and routines. We now look forward to children coming back with same vigor and excitement in June.

The Culmination Day was held on the 11th of February 2023 to familiarize the parents with the learning outcomes of the 3rd Unit of Inquiry. The exploration and expression of attributes of the children, also the ambience itself were simply outstanding and enthralled the parents. The event not only showcased their knowledge but also helped them exhibit their talents and they excelled in an amazing display of confidence. Children shared the result of their investigation, received feedback, and celebrated their learning. It was mesmerizing and all the children thoroughly enjoyed it and we are sure parents were proud to see the children performing.

Christmas day at Vivero HSR was organized in keeping with the Christmas spirit, the whole Vivero was festooned with colorful decorations. The children and teachers came dressed in red.
The Santa made a grand entry and surprised the children with Dance and Christmas gifts. They all echoed the Jingle Bells together.
They had a potluck party where they brought and shared cakes and cookies with their friends.
Following the path of tradition, children along with the School Head cut and distributed the Plum cake.
Children also got engaged in various Christmas Activities where they made one beautiful Christmas Stocking as a takeaway gift. They also participated in Games like "Minute To Win It".
We all enjoyed the day very much.

So here we are-100days into the physical school year. This day is also a time for celebration, especially for early learners. We welcomed the children with a board that said that the children have become 100 days Smarter. The moments and the various activities done by the children were captured.

International Tiger Day is observed every year all over the world on July 29. The objective of the day is to raise awareness among individuals, organizations, and governments about the importance of the conservation of tigers.

Similarly, in Vivero HSR, we created provocations and got our children aware of the importance of this wild cat for our natural and forested habitat. We also discussed about conservation of this species through small deeds.

As part of the celebration, we decided to invite the Tiger to have tea with us at our “Jungle Tea Café”

In lines with our 21st century initiatives ‘Entrepreneurship’ we encouraged our K2 children to run the café. They sold Tea, sandwich and biscuits to the little customers who bought it with fake money.

The café also ran an offer of ‘Buy 1 get 1 free’. Tiger had tea with all the other animals and it was wonderful sight to watch.

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!

We are overjoyed with the beautiful cards our K1 children have made for their beloved class teacher. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Our K1 children are eagerly waiting for Grandparents Day and have made beautiful invitation cards for their grandparents.

Winter souk with Talents @Twilight.

The Winter Carnival at Vivero HSR looked mystical with glimmering moonlight accentuating the terrace along with the embellishing of the blue tinsel string lights. Hues of the winter swaged all through the school. The North Pole décor and the snow drops further enhanced the aesthetics of the Christmas tree made by the children of K2. The enchantment of experiencing the northern lights and the lit igloo photo booth with snow all around seemed so surreal expressed the parents. While they were engrossed in scanning through the winter souk the children kept exploring other amusements. And when they heard the sleigh-bells ringing they were ecstatic!! They knew their favorite Santa was coming!!
Winter means togetherness and celebrations and this section of the Carnival called “Talents @Twilight” awakened the Talent in children and in parents. The Energy was contagious, one performance bettering the other. Dancing, singing, instrumental performances, theater, mimicry, oratory, magic show, gymnastics, painting, carols, fashion walks and much more... It gave children an opportunity to see the kind of Talent that was around them. This mindfully chosen and executed part was not only entertaining but had an amazing, impactful learning outcome for our children.

Back to School was an attempt to showcase the child’s day at Vivero. Every class had planned a fun-filled day for the parents and children. The day was chalked out identical to regular day at school.
K2, welcomed their parents with engagements like arranging story cards, word of the day and pattern making. They organized a game that involved stacking cups as a team. The response to which was ‘ecstatic’. K1, flow started with IIP which included the Human light app and a one to one correspondence wheel. During circle time, they discussed about body parts and functions of the internal organs. Nursery conducted blindfold painting which gave the parents a unique experience. As their topic revolved around senses, they made a textured photo frame as a take away. Pre Nursery stormed the day with parachute play, and a sink and float activity. The day also included dance and movement, Circle time with rhymes. The parents also got play dough to explore. The children and parents were taken through a session on ‘Good touch and Bad touch’. Pure Child Care had an action packed day planned. On the list were water bottle flower painting, explorations at the light table, parent and child hand print, cotton dabbing on a flower and creations out of play dough. Thus went a day on Back to School.

School is out and children couldn’t be happier! Of course, their major plans for the summer are to sleep-in until late, screen-time, keeping cool with popsicles & the pool, lazing around…Well, inspite of doing all that there was still so much time to kill! So to make the most of the summer and also make it Fantabulous for the children, VIVERO had an array of Amazing, Awesome and Awe-inspiring Summer Activities that got the children all excited and full of Summer Fun!
Imagineers was the theme of the camp- This saw the children learning all about building and creating using resources from the environment. Their imagination was given a free rein and they had a blast during the entire three weeks.

17th Dec was a much awaited date. Xmas Carnival at HSR- our first big event in our new school.
The preparations started weeks ago with children creating unique Xmas theme art works which would be the main displays at the venue. On the day of the event the school looked like something out of story book- Twinkling lights, Xmas trees, balloons, streamers and Xmas art work done by the children. A “Flea Market” with vendors displaying a variety of goods ranging from toys, sarees, and children’s wear, clay items and more. It was a busy area with so many shoppers around. The “Activity Floor” with Games like- The Hungry Snowman, Pin the star, Jingle Bell, Blow a Card and Red Nose- These were all Christmas related games which the children as well as the adults thoroughly enjoyed participating as they were all "Hands on Experiences" for them.
The Art and Craft was also another popular stall- with ‘Decorate your cookie’ being the most sought after corner. Not only did they get to decorate their cookies with colorful icing and sprinkles, they enjoyed eating the same. The children also were happy to take home some – ‘Santa Art’ – Reindeer Ears, Holly Wreaths, and Bells. Needless to say the ‘Tattoo Corner’ and ‘ Photo Booth’ continued to remain hot favorites with children and adults alike A great variety of food was available at the food stalls– Chaat, Momos, Chinese, Burger King, Chocolates, Cake, Candy and Drinks.
