From Schools Ludhiana, July 28 Activity-oriented teaching The tiny tots of the KG Section of Sacred Heart Senior Secondary School- St Mary's Kindergarten, are all smiles with the introduction of the new system of learning. The child-centered education introduced now focuses on the child's potential and aims at harnessing it to the maximum. Activity oriented teaching techniques like ‘show and tell’, ‘brainstorming’, ‘how many ways’ rev up the child's vocabulary and activities like ‘action phonics’, ‘matching, sorting and sequencing’ create, sustain and invigorate child's interest in learning. These also go a long way in creating awareness and boosting cognitive development. The core values of life are imparted at every step in school, be it through the ‘healthy food tiffin week’ or planting seeds during the environment week. Aesthetic expression is encouraged with the aid of dramatisation of plays written by teachers. At school, laughter and learning go hand in hand with the vision of creating personalities that are happy, innovative, proactive and fulfilled.
