Wordless Wednesday - Blooms

I adore leisure walks especially during Spring and Summer season. It always gives me a happy refreshing feel on seeing the colourful blooms all along the walking path.

Smiling flowers, fresh green trees and plants, gentle breeze ..what else is expected more to make you feel relaxed and cheerful.

Caught sight of this bloom in three phases, green buds

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 !!

TREES ARE THE GUARDIAN ANGELS




Looking at these five different trees together guarding an elderly care home defines me of a divine relationship.

I relate these trees to all the carers who takes care of them. They are truly 'Guardian Angels'.

SUNFLOWER - INSPIRATIONAL DRAWING FROM VINCENT VAN GOGH

Today, I am sharing Sunflower drawing by my younger one, inspired by the Sunflower painting of Vincent Van Gogh.

He re-created the drawing as an art challenge activity. Observe the paintings of the artist and draw them as from your memory without re-looking into the original drawing.

This was an activity for Child's observational and memory skills. He truly accepted and enjoyed this activity.

As a parent and a counsellor, these kinds of activities will enhance the child's memory skills. It improves Observational and Concentration skills.




This is the Original painting .

PENQUIN - A bird of Admiration and Adoration

Penquin - definitely a bird of Admiration and Adoration. 

Who wouldn't love to watch this bird in your near vicinity. 'I wish to see Penquins' would be one among the wish-to-see list of many of us. Yes, definitely, it was in my wish to see list.

A dream come true, watched these penguins in a Birdland park. Again, it was an awestuck moment with cheerful tears rolling down. 

Hurray ! Penquins !!! I saw them and excited to feed them. These words were repeatedly whispered to my hubby as I was standing in the queue to feed them. 

Of course, with tears and racing heartbeats, it was a pleasant pleasure. 

Look how they are sleeping in a standing position, amazing to watch them.




They sleep with their feets raised up. Puzzled to see it - how they could stand steady while sleeping ...God's creation.
