Sharda World School hosted an engaging and imaginative UKG Form Assembly on 21st August 2026, taking parents and guests on an exciting journey millions of years into the past. Centred around the theme “Dinosaurs Around the World – A Journey Through Time,” the assembly beautifully brought together science, geography, culture, creativity, and performance.

Inspired by the Finland Phenomenon-Based Learning approach, the programme demonstrated how young learners can explore a single theme through multiple areas of learning. From dinosaurs and fossils to continents, multilingual greetings, music, dance, and interactive activities, the assembly transformed learning into a memorable experience for both students and parents.

The Journey Begins with a Time Machine

The programme began with a warm welcome to parents and guests before the young explorers introduced the audience to their very own Time Machine—the gateway to their prehistoric adventure.

The dignitaries were welcomed with the ceremonial lighting of the lamp, symbolising knowledge, wisdom, and curiosity. Adding a multicultural dimension to the occasion, the UKG students presented multilingual greetings, celebrating diversity and the interconnectedness of the world.

A melodious welcome song by the young learners further set a cheerful and enthusiastic tone for the journey ahead.

Inspiring Curiosity Among Young Learners

Addressing the gathering, Mr. Satyaki Banerjee, Head of School, encouraged the young learners with his inspiring words. The Thought of the Day further reinforced the importance of curiosity and questioning as essential elements of the learning journey.

Dr. Garima Yadav, Director ELC, also addressed the gathering and appreciated the efforts of the students and teachers in bringing the thematic learning experience to life.

Travelling Millions of Years into the Past

One of the most exciting moments of the assembly was the Time Machine Sequence. With lights, sounds, and dinosaur roars creating a prehistoric atmosphere, the children transported the audience into the fascinating age of dinosaurs.

The adventure continued with the energetic “Dinosaur Dance – Walking with Dinosaurs,” as the young performers used movement and expression to bring the prehistoric world alive on stage.

The combination of imagination and performance helped transform the subject into an experience that young learners could explore, understand, and enjoy.

Discovering Dinosaurs Around the World

The assembly expanded beyond prehistoric creatures through the segment “Dinosaurs Around the World.” Students introduced different dinosaurs while connecting them with various parts of the world, including India, the USA, China, Argentina, and the United Kingdom.

This approach enabled children to connect their exploration of dinosaurs with geography and the wider world, demonstrating the interdisciplinary nature of phenomenon-based learning.

The Interactive World Map Challenge further encouraged students to identify the continents where different dinosaurs lived, making geographical learning engaging and participatory.

Becoming Little Paleontologists

Another engaging element of the programme was the Little Paleontologists activity, which introduced students to fossils and the work of scientists who study prehistoric life.

Through this activity, young learners explored how evidence from the past helps us understand creatures that lived millions of years ago. It encouraged observation, questioning, exploration, and scientific curiosity in an age-appropriate and engaging manner.

An exciting Dinosaur Quiz further tested students' observation, recall, and understanding while adding an interactive element to the learning experience.

We Are Future Explorers

The thematic journey reached its conclusion with the spectacular “Grand Finale – We Are Future Explorers.” Featuring an instrumental performance and a vibrant group presentation, the finale celebrated the enthusiasm, confidence, and curiosity demonstrated by the UKG students throughout the programme.

Ms. Neeta Rani, Vice Principal, delivered a heartfelt Vote of Thanks, expressing gratitude to the dignitaries, parents, teachers, and students whose efforts made the assembly a memorable experience.

The celebration concluded with refreshments and an interactive session with parents, bringing together the school community after an enriching morning of exploration and learning.

Learning Beyond Textbooks

The UKG Form Assembly at Sharda World School was a wonderful example of how learning can extend beyond textbooks and conventional classroom boundaries. By exploring dinosaurs through history, geography, science, culture, music, movement, and interactive activities, students experienced learning as an interconnected journey rather than as separate subjects.

Inspired by the Finland Phenomenon-Based Learning approach, the programme provided young learners with opportunities to question, explore, perform, collaborate, and express their understanding with confidence.

The assembly concluded with a meaningful message that connected the prehistoric journey with the responsibility of the generations of tomorrow:

“One Earth • One World • Let’s Care for Our Planet!”
