LEGO

They also explore a variety of activities using Six Bricks to understand mathematical concepts, strengthen fine motor skills and build vocabulary.

Circle Time

Circle time is a single or double period per week wherein the Class Teacher uses this time to bond and connect with her students. This is also a time that is used to provide a platform for the issues and problems that arise within the class group.
It is a great time to work towards instilling the Core Values of the school.

Wonder Time

Wonder time is an activity that develops one of the most important skills a child would need through his/her learning years, and that is Observation. Children have an innate curiosity to explore things around them.
By providing many different materials to touch, observe and manipulate, they will learn to observe, record, infer and arrive at a conclusion.

Show ‘N’ Tell

Show ‘n’ Tell in the Elementary and Lower Primary grades, is a teaching – learning strategy used to develop language, confidence and presentation skills in early learners. Moving from structured to unstructured sessions, Show ‘n’ Tell provides children a platform
to speak amidst encouragement and positivity. This activity is the child’s first step towards facing an audience and making a presentation, both of which are important skills in the real world.

DEAR (Drop Everything and Read)

Dear is a reading programme that has 15 minutes slotted in the time table from Kindergarten to Grade V. This is a time slot over and above the Library periods allotted for each Grade.

Project Based Learning (PBL)

Children deepen their understanding through a hands-on, student-led approach, where they explore real-world applications through meaningful projects. They speak up, share ideas, present their learning and actively engage with concepts, making learning more meaningful and relevant.

All About Series

The Shri Reading Programme

The Shri Reading Programme is a graded comprehensive reading programme, from Nursery to Grade V which aims at developing effective readers not by chance but by choice. Closure activity
is integral to this programme as it informs the teachers about the child’s level of comprehension and gives the child an opportunity to express his/her views, think creatively, dramatize and make connections.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK

At The Shri Ram Universal School, Chennai, this simple yet profound thought reflects the essence of our educational philosophy. We believe that education is about much more than academic success —it is about helping children grow into confident, compassionate, and responsible individuals.

Every child is unique, with their own strengths, aspirations, and potential. Our commitment is to create a nurturing environment where every learner feels seen, encouraged, and empowered to grow with confidence. We strive to foster intellectual curiosity, emotional well-being, physical vitality, social awareness, and a strong sense of character, enabling each child to realise their fullest potential.

We recognise that meaningful learning flourishes through a strong partnership between school and home. Built on trust, mutual respect, and shared purpose, this relationship enables us to support every child in becoming the very best version of themselves. Together, let us inspire our children to dream with confidence, learn with purpose, and lead with compassion.
