Animal Races and Games
Keeping in view that kids love animals #Cambridge organized a fun activity for all its young learners.

Class Educators lined up children for a fun race and assigned each group an animal that is #distinctive in their movements to kids. The children ran, hopped, and crawled across the space and back and continued one after the other.

The activity was a #playful introduction to motion in the animal kingdom that invited the young enthusiasts to learn some of the unusual ways that animals get around.

These activities are great ways to get kids moving. Moving #forwards, #backwards, and #sidetoside just like real life animals do help in #grossmotorskills and is a great chance to work on areas of #development, #balance and #movement.

The students learned about the #archaeologicalremains of the excavated site near #Ropar, the first #Harappan site excavated in Independent India.

Students learnt about the antiquities of Harappan times, painted Grey Ware culture, #Saka, #Kushana, and #Gupta times such as Vina Vadini, steatite seal, copper and bronze implements, ring stone, gold coins of Chandragupta and also saw the ruins of the #IndusValleyCivilization.
