Toy-Based Pedagogy was incorporated in the curriculum in the month of July 2023, recognising that toys are not merely for entertainment but also powerful tools for fostering the mental, physical, social, and emotional development of children. This innovative approach aimed to engage students in hands-on activities, promoting lifelong learning. Throughout the month, various toys, flash cards, and games were utilized to reinforce and teach different concepts across subjects. In English, the focus was on Nouns, Countable & Uncountable Nouns, while in Mathematics, students learned about Ascending & Descending Order, Shapes, Patterns & Money. Additionally, in Environmental Studies, topics covered included Clothes, Plant Kingdom & Neighbourhood. The implementation of Toy-Based Pedagogy encouraged experiential learning, as children actively participated in creating toys using clay and other materials or engaged in related activities. This approach not only made learning enjoyable but also facilitated a deeper understanding and retention of the subject matter. By integrating toys as learning resources, we aimed to instil a love for learning in students, making education a dynamic and exciting journey. This progressive approach recognizes the significance of play and exploration in a child's growth and development, ensuring a holistic learning experience for all students.

AI can spark creativity by suggesting unexpected ideas and styles, or even generating starting points for new works. This exciting partnership between human creativity and artificial intelligence has the potential to push artistic boundaries and lead to groundbreaking new forms of expression.
AutoDraw is a new kind of AI drawing tool. It pairs machine learning with drawings from talented artists to help everyone create anything visual, fast. There’s nothing to download. Nothing to pay for. And it works anywhere: smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop, etc.
In the last week before summer break,students dived into the world of Google AutoDraw, a free online drawing tool. This innovative platform sparked their creativity by offering suggestions and shapes as they drew. Instead of a blank canvas intimidating them, AutoDraw's helpful nudges allowed them to experiment and turn their ideas into visual stories.They even tried to trick AutoDraw with unusual shapes, but were fascinated to see the unexpected results it came up with! The best part? Students could easily download their creations and use them in class projects, presentations, or even for fun crafts outside of school. AutoDraw transformed their doodles into polished visuals, making their work stand out.This exploration not only boosted their confidence but also opened doors to new artistic possibilities.
