NEP Aligned Activities 2025 - 2026
Learning Beyond Books – The NEP way at Anand Niketan Sughad
Activity- and discovery-based pedagogy is a key element of the Preparatory Stage classroom. When students actively participate in the learning process, the outcomes become more meaningful and long-lasting.
At Anand Niketan Sughad, the learning journey is enriched with activities that encourage students to think, engage, create, and reflect—with joy at the heart of it all—helping them hone their skills and build proficiency.
As part of experiential learning aligned with NEP 2020, students participated in a variety of activities to enrich their understanding of Language Arts.
Grade 5 students created a ‘Block City’ using shoeboxes and household items, a project-based learning activity that deepened their appreciation of poetry.
Furthermore, an educational field visit to Serenity Botanical Garden served as a living classroom, teeming with diverse species of plants and insects. Students explored this vibrant, exotic garden, they deepened their understanding of nature.
Grade 4 students brought Social Studies to life through a role play on life in the northern plains and mountains. They portrayed farmers, describing their daily routines, the crops they grow, and the challenges they face based on the region they represented.
Students also prepared a ‘Herbarium’ file that included medicinal plants, highlighting their role in boosting immunity and helping to heal certain lifestyle-related diseases. This reaffirmed the ancient truth, in students, that nature has always been humanity’s original pharmacy and sanctuary.
A thoughtfully designed multidisciplinary activity in grade 4 integrated Mathematics with Environmental Science, where students researched five endangered animals and gathered data on their population figures. They analyzed whether these numbers had increased or decreased over time.
Meanwhile, students in Grades 3 practiced grammar mechanics in engaging and enjoyable ways through collaborative ‘pair and share’ activities. As part of our ongoing journey in experiential learning, a special activity on multilingualism was conducted in the classroom, where students explored how the four elements of nature are named in their respective mother tongues. The classroom transformed into a vibrant, multilingual space as students proudly shared and displayed words for the elements of nature in their native languages. And for environmental studies students created different landforms on earth out of modeling clay.
Learning at Anand Niketan Sughad reflects NEP 2020’s emphasis on experiential, holistic, and multidisciplinary education that fosters lifelong learning.
