On December 4th, Anubhav Montessori celebrated World Cheetah Day.

Igniting children’s curiosity and fostering a love for wildlife. The day featured an engaging movie about cheetahs, providing insights into these magnificent creatures. Through interactive discussions, children explored unique traits of cheetahs, such as their distinctive tear marks—black lines running from the inner corners of their eyes down to their mouths. These markings help reduce glare from the sun during daytime hunts, enhancing the cheetah’s focus on prey. 

The children also learned about the cheetah’s slender yet powerful build, adapted for incredible speed, and their preference for grasslands and open plains. Discussions highlighted differences between cheetahs and other big cats like jaguars and leopards, emphasizing variations in physical characteristics, habitats, and behaviors.

This celebration not only deepened the children’s understanding of cheetahs but also instilled a broader appreciation for wildlife conservation.

Take a look:

During our recent nature walk at Peacock Garden, the children embraced the journey itself, understanding that exploration holds more value than reaching a specific destination. Carrying their own backpacks, they navigated the environment alongside peers, experiencing independence and responsibility firsthand. Many attempted tree climbing for the first time, inspired by their friends, fostering courage and mutual encouragement. Sharing meals and conversations along the way, they strengthened social bonds. The extended walk not only enhanced their physical endurance but also deepened their connection to nature and each other.

During our recent nature walk at Smriti Van in Jaipur, children collected leaves of various shapes and colors, enhancing their appreciation for biodiversity. They also observed different colored leaves, further enriching their understanding of nature’s diversity. This journey fostered patience and perseverance, highlighting the importance of the process over the destination. Along the way, the children delighted in observing various animals, sharing these experiences with their peers, and deepening their connection to the natural world.
