In our school, circle time is a structured group activity that brings our iplay learners together to engage in songs, games, stories, and discussions. This interactive experience fosters social skills, language development, and a sense of community, providing numerous benefits that support the overall growth and development of our iplay(Prekg, LKG and UKG) learners .
Benefits of our Circle Time:
– *Social skills:* In our circle time our iplay learners learn to interact, share, and play with others in a group setting.
– *Cognitive Development*: Our circle time activities (Story telling, Puppet shows, Rhymes, Games) stimulate our learners young minds, fostering their curiosity and knowledge.
