CONIFEROUS FLOWERING PLANT

Nature will be always amazing and give us many surprising facts, after moved away by a weeping willow tree, this coniferous flowering plant with cute little purple flowers grabbed my attention. 

So many surprising things....the purple flowers will be grown as single bud/flower only, not in bunches, covering the whole plant. From a distance, it appears as decorating purple stars in a Christmas Tree.

Rakshabandhan is a special celebration in India, signifying the importance of brother sister relationship. On this day, sisters tie rakhi to their brothers to protect them against all odds and pray for their long life and happiness.

Beads and a pendant

STEPS TO BE FOLLOWED :

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY - BLACKPOOL BEACH, UK

Sight of a beach always gives us a broad smile. Visiting them during Summer break is even more special. With lots of laughters around and children playing with their kites and walking to and fro from the waves is a happy feel. But at times, especially during lockdown, with minimal people and noise..... could hear only the laughter of the waves.

THANK YOU CARD - Pista shells

Gratitude is one of the most amazing personality trait, I strongly believe which makes a long beautiful relationship among people. Receiving or returning kindness always gives a pleasant feel. Every moment or every person we meet in our life will give us a learning or will impact or influence us. 

I am grateful to......

•  all the key workers who helped us to stay safe and calm fighting all the odds during this pandemic to make our life more comfortable and stable. 
• Teachers and all the school staff, who were all working during these hard times handling Online Classes, sharing home learning packs, weekly phone conversations with their students to ensure the children are safe and comfortable, enquiring about the basic needs of the family and their support for meeting our needs. Children were prepared psychologically comfortable to face this situation and keeping them in track of their missed classes and lessons.
• The Almighty for giving us good health, strength and courage to handle such tough situations and protecting the world.

A token of Gratitude for NHS staff, we created this beautiful Rainbow - Symbol of God's Mercy. T

FACT FILE - Importance of Précis Writing in Children

Fact file is an interesting activity for children. It helps to learn the facts about the things chosen. My son had to prepare fact file about any one of extinct animals in Ice Age. 
I personally consider this activity as one of the child's cognitive development activity. They get opportunity to read more resources, collect the information and then precise facts from the gathered information. 

A precis is a summary. Precis writing is an exercise in compression. Explaining the whole information in as few words as possible giving all essential facts. 

By this practice of writing, children learn quickly and able to speak or write only the important piece of information to be shared rather than an elaborated statements.

We can practise our children with précis writing method while learning and it's an easy way to quickly revise the concepts or understand in a better way.

Happy Parenting !!
