Project: 'MY SCHOOL ROCKS'
We all love our school and our Presidians are proud to be a part of PRESIDIUM. We had a special project for our children 'My School Rocks', through which our children deciphered, what makes their school so special, understand the vision and philosophy of their school and realize, the role of the school in creating a powerful future for them.
Stage Activity: 'BE WHAT YOU WANT TO BE'
An exciting activity with a lot of learning and realizations, where children gave small presentation on what they want to be in future. This activity helped them identify their dreams and aspirations.
ADVENTURE SPORTS
Children are exposed to activities in an in-house 'Adventure Zone' like fox flying, artificial river crossing, wall climbing, commando crawl, tunnel crossing, height jump, Tarzan jump, balancing beam, Burma bridge, commando net, ring track, sit-up bench, parallel bar dips, parallel rope walking (obstacle sports) and many more. These are best confidence building techniques where the child is able to shed his/her fear of darkness, height, being alone, and most importantly the fear of failure.
TAEKWONDO, YOGA, AND AEROBICS
Experts are helping Presidians develop a balanced and healthy mind by beginning each morning with meditation and yoga. Children are also learning to flex and align their bodies through aerobics. Taek-won-do apparently may look like a physical exercise, but is a means to attain both physical and mental health.

This is a fun filled activity conducted house wise every month involving children to prepare dishes. Children eagerly wait for this activity because they love to imitate their mothers and prepare amazingly delicious dishes like instant Dahi-Bhalla, Shahi Tukda, Chocolate Marie Rolls, Russian Salad and many more. It's not just about fun but Kiddies Bonanza also ensures learning about food measurements and new vocabulary related to the respective dish and utensils.
RAIN DANCE
