Birla Open Minds Rajahmundry recently celebrated the vibrant festival of Pongal with great enthusiasm and cultural pride. Our young learners actively participated in a range of traditional activities that brought the festive spirit to life. Dressed in colorful ethnic attire, the students enjoyed Pongal-themed games, rangoli making, and the symbolic preparation of Pongal rice. The celebration not only immersed the children in the rich cultural heritage of South India but also fostered a sense of joy, community, and togetherness on campus.

The students thoroughly enjoyed participating in the activities on healthy food. They were excited to explore the vibrant colors of fruits and vegetables, and the “Eat the Rainbow” theme sparked curiosity and enthusiasm. Sorting foods by color, creating rainbow plates, and discovering the science behind nutrients turned learning into a fun and interactive experience. The hands-on approach not only helped them understand the importance of a balanced diet but also encouraged teamwork, creativity, and healthy habits. Their smiles and active involvement showed that learning through activity can truly be both educational and enjoyable!

Students learned about the importance of yoga and how it contributes to a healthy body and a peaceful mind. Through guided practice and discussions, they discovered how yoga helps improve concentration, flexibility, and emotional well-being. The sessions not only introduced them to various asanas and breathing techniques but also highlighted the value of incorporating yoga into their daily routine for a balanced lifestyle.

Students developed a deeper appreciation for Hindi as they explored its richness and understood its importance. Engaging activities and meaningful discussions helped them connect with the language, making learning not only enjoyable but also enlightening.

Learning came alive as students dove into hands-on chemistry and physics activities. In chemistry, they explored the process of filtration, turning theory into a tangible experience. In physics, they experimented with the fascinating world of magnetism—discovering magnetic attraction using various types of magnetic bars. Curiosity sparked, ideas flowed, and concepts clicked as students actively engaged with each activity. The joy of discovery made science not just understandable, but unforgettable.
