Every school year is planned to include an event that is purely focused on ensuring every child gets the opportunity to learn new and showcase existing skills. Such happenings occur as a part of ‘Kidsfest’, our annual day, which again is a manifestation of the chosen theme of the year. This decision of aligning  to a theme is done so that Kidsfest ends up becoming a culmination of all the other experiences that children have been a part of, instead it simply being a cultural day unconnected to the rest of what children do through the year.

Greenland Project
Wanting to engage in actually reaping of crops is curbed by lack of space and opportunities more often than not. Budding Minds was fortunate to get our hands on a plot of land right by our main school building were children started the ‘Green Land Project’ that entailed the growing of herbs, medicinal plants, vegetables and greens. The children were a part of the whole process starting from the tilling of the soil to ensuring the plants were watered consistently as needed.

Projects days are designed specifically to make sure children find a purposeful way to not just display their learnings, but also teach others what they’ve learnt through the term. Project Days are  one of Budding Minds’ non-negotiable aspects of the school year – as it is one of the best times during which children truly learn and develop a sense of mutual respect for each other.

The school ground accommodates approximately 300 students at any given time and flaunts specific arenas for basketball, Kho Kho, Short put and long jump. Separate efforts are taken to incorporate Football play through our very own Budding Minds Football Club during after school hours at the school premises. These experiences often culminate in our yearly sports days, as well as in inter-school competitions across the State. Yoga, is the other activity we have recently included to ensure aspects of mental health and agility is catered to.
