A Rainbow of Fun: Colour Week Celebrated in the Nursery Wing

The Nursery Wing at Seth M. R. Jaipuria School, Gomti Nagar, turned bright and lively during the three-day Colour Week celebration held from April 21 to April 23. The classrooms were filled with colourful activities, tiny experiments, food exploration, and playful learning as children spent the week recognising colours through everyday objects and hands-on experiences.

The celebrations began with conversations around primary colours red, yellow, blue, and green. Teachers encouraged students to observe the world around them and identify naturally coloured objects. Soon, excited voices could be heard across the classroom as children eagerly answered with “banana is yellow”, “apple is red”, and “strawberry is red”. These simple discussions slowly turned into moments of observation, where children started connecting colours with things they see and eat every day.

One activity that kept the students completely engrossed was a “magic with colours” experiment. Transparent bottles filled with water were shown to the children, who believed there was no colour inside. The surprise came when the bottles were shaken and the water suddenly changed colours. Gasps, laughter, and wide-eyed reactions filled the room each time a new colour appeared. The activity was repeated with different shades, and many students could be seen trying to guess which colour would appear next.

The classrooms also transformed into movement zones during a colour-sorting activity. Children carefully walked along zigzag lines before picking up coloured balls and placing them into matching trays. Some students rushed excitedly towards their chosen colour, while others paused for a moment to check carefully before sorting the balls correctly. The activity quietly blended play, balance, observation, and colour recognition into one cheerful exercise.

Adding another layer to the celebration, students also brought colour-themed food from home. Lunch boxes opened to reveal green idlis, beetroot parathas, blueberries, strawberries, grapes, and other vibrant treats. Children were seen proudly showing their colourful food to classmates and talking about their favourite fruits and dishes.

Across the three days, the classrooms carried a sense of constant excitement. Between playful experiments, colour games, conversations, and tiny discoveries, students explored colours in ways that felt natural, joyful, and full of curiosity.
