Program Components

Social Learning

All about human beings

Paranthropus! Well, what do ya know, they were humans too. No one does it like Spiny Babbler kids do it. Read our articles and also guess who else we met: the blacksmith and the sitar musician who started learning at 70 and plays at 90! We went to Khokana and learned all about making roasted mustard oil, we hiked and took pictures of flowers. We look at seeds and smells and tastes. Here’s the link.

Finance & Economy

Making or Saving Moneeeei

We make our own jams (plum, orange marmalade, persimmon, litchi, grapefruit), mayonnaise, sweet lapsi stuff, and peanut butter. We make our own corn, millet, buckwheat bread: we want to be a part of the “healthy eating” gang. Here’s how we made burgers! Hey, and don't you know about the pizza, pasta, cakes, and other makes and bakes that we like to create?

Languages

Act, Recite, Impress!

Hey hey. We did the colour of feelings. Theatre, artwork combine with literature and meanings to add to the fun. Colours are done and now we are doing taste of feelings. You feeling Sour that you are not part of this school. Here's the link to the blog about colors and feeling. In the photo Kaustuv is doing songs and their meanings. Learning does have to involve much more than text books as you know. You get the connection? Let us get at the sounds of life.

Fitness & the Outdoors

We the Jangaleeeei!

Ei Ei. We went a hunting, foraging like our cave ancestors to collect 7 kgs of lapsi hog plum that were turned into sweet and sour and piro-tato hot achar. Want to see how yummy and adventurous it all was? Go to this linky link? And that's not all, no sireee and girleee, we did a lotsa more funsa foonsa stuff all over the jungles and the fields. We work with the farmers where we can and chase goats and sheep and cows and buffaloes to their homes or their meadows when they don't chase us back. Not that our favorite kids have not been chased by roosters, cats, and the cutest little puppies you ever did see.

The Arts

Watch, learn, make, display

That was the exhibition by ze kiddos at the Patan Museum. We had 400 visitors from around the world. These months we will be looking at art exposure and analysis, biographical learning, visual appreciation, art criticism, studio work, and an exhibition. A lot of work? Sounds over whelming? We will enjoy the creations of O'Keeffe, Clemente, Kusama, Basquiat, Morandi, Michelangelo, Khalo, Chagall, Bacon, and Da Vinci. Here's a blog on artwork for you to enjoy!

Science & Technology

The seed to the tree, the insides of Aves, Pisces, Mammals, and the Singularity

We probably have one of the finest science programs. From botanical learning to dissection of more than 15 species, to the handling of ecosystems of different species, our young learn, experience, and contribute to communities giving them avocado and lemon saplings, growing vegetables and fowl and studying in depth the way the universe, atoms, and human beings work. Read this blog that shares with a combo of literature and science experimentation.
