The morning assembly is the most pious feature of the school curriculum, where students can learn the value of collective prayer and are exposed to the need to inculcate moral and ethical values. Students are guided on the path of spiritualism through educational talks. Yoga, mass PT, meditation, and introspection form an integral feature of the morning assembly.

The morning assembly helps each child to showcase their talents and ensures a robust start of the day. Each class is given an opportunity to organise the assembly turn-wise, which helps them enhance their organisational skills.

Morning assembly schedule:

• Pre-Primary Wing – Monday
• Primary Wing – Wednesday
• Middle Wing – Friday
• Senior Wing – Tuesday

PRE-PRIMARY WING

• The Pre-Primary Wing provides a child-centric environment where learning is made fun and interesting.
• Blue Bells Public School Pre-Primary believes that the effort of a child to understand and explore the environment leads to learning. This effort forms the foundations of language, physical skills, social understanding, and emotional development needed in the future.
• To unravel opportunities to make discoveries and groom our students to develop a constructive line of thought, various activities are used to spark an interest of the child in early engagement towards learning:

• Singing
• Dancing
• Colouring
• Origami
• Paper cutting
• Clay modelling
• Painting
• Dramatics
• Sports
• Computer learning
• Group activities

EVALUATION SCHEME FOR NUR & LKG

• We follow an Integrated Inquiry-Based Approach wherein experiential learning is pivotal. Theme-based Trans-disciplinary approach in scholastic, co-scholastic and Life skills education is central to our pedagogy.
• D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything and Read): The initiative is an effort of the School to promote reading habit among the students and also to polish their linguistic skills.
• Circle-Time is a specially designed time-slot at the disposal of the students when they avail the opportunity to express their thoughts without any inhibitions and give flight to their imagination.
• Creative and Public Speaking activities are a regular feature of the school routine which enhances leadership skills by honing the linguistic and communication skills.
• The teaching pedagogy at Blue Bells emphasizes keeping students engaged in meaningful activities where they can learn multiple sets of skills, experiences and sources to aid and accelerate the learning process. "Learning Unbound" is another annual feature that enhances Scholastic and Co-scholastic curriculum. It's a canvas for the Primary Wing students to pour their vivid colours in a creative flow. The event is conceptualized by The Learning Space.
