RIDS  IN HOUSE ACTIVITY 2024-25

FITSPIRATION (CLASS – Pre KG, LKG, UKG)

                      Shri B S Mootha Girls Senior Secondary School has been in collaboration with the British Council for more than a decade, and the Recognition of an International Dimension in Schools (RIDS) programme by the British Council recognizes and celebrates exemplary practices of internationalism in schools.

For this year’s RIDS activity, the topic for Kindergarten was “Fitspiration”-Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 – Health and Well-being. This United Nations goal aims to promote well-being and ensure healthy lives for all people at all ages, addressing key health priorities such as universal health coverage, environmental health, and communicable and non-communicable diseases.

To engage young learners, a variety of activities were planned, including song, dance, a skit depicting a day in the kindergarten schools of Japan, USA, UK, and Japan, as well as yoga, Zumba, aerobics, a rally, meditation, quiz, creative work, worksheets, and count and connect exercises. To enhance the skit performances, a documentary on Kindergarten practices in the chosen four countries was made available for the participants to watch.

The event was held on 24th December 2024, with nearly 250 children participating, and was graced by Dr. Arathi Arun, a Commonwealth powerlifting champion, as the chief guest. Parents were invited to witness the performances, and the Management members and the Principal also attended, appreciating the talents of the little wonders and the dedicated efforts of the Kindergarten teachers.

The event was a truly enriching and enjoyable learning experience for all stakeholders involved, reinforcing the importance of health and well-being in early childhood education.
