Class
Ms Namrata Nayar
Stomping ElephantsTeacher
What a thrilling journey we have embarked on this year in the Stomping Elephants class!
I can't believe how quickly the year has whizzed past our eyes. It seems only a very short while ago the
children were meeting me for the first time on a zoom Meet and Greet session. There have been so many
thrilling and innovating activities and experiences that have been happening daily in the class. The incredible
projects the children have experienced this year have been, 'When I grow up', 'Once Upon a Time' and
'National Geographic', to name a few.
Stomping Elephants have become splendid story tellers. Through 'Talk for writing’, they can recite many
stories from memory and add their own bits here and there to create an entirely new version. Children have
now begun their journey into becoming funny, active, happy, creative, and independent learners who have
not only built resilience but developed beautiful friendships and everlasting memories through the year.
A personal highlight for me was the class End of Year Assembly where the children were magnificent. I am
proud of every single one of you: for trying your best and growing into such confident personalities. Thank
you for such a memorable year. I wish you all the best for your adventures beyond.
Remember, ‘If you can dream it, you can achieve it’.

Saying our sad goodbyes is always very difficult. It has been a
challenging year, yet it’s really been a pleasure being part of the
children’s life. Ms Robilyn, Ms Ruby and I have had some lovely
memories with you all that we will cherish forever. It has also been
amazing to see how much the children have grown throughout the
year. We hope that you all have a fun and relaxing family summer,
and please stop by to see us when you can.
I would like to say a big thank you to all the parents and Raindrops
children for a fantastic year.
