SUPERMARKET 2024

The Annual Supermarket event of Star Kids was held on 29th June 2024. It was jointly organized by the students and teachers of Class A comprising 6 sections namely: Little Dippers, Twinkling stars, Great Bears, Blue Dolphin, Birds of Paradise and Shooting Stars.

The main goal of this event was to introduce the kids to the concept of applying their knowledge of numbers and basic mathematics in a real-life scenario while having a blast!

The kids from each Class were divided into 4 groups where they set up their own shops displaying a variety of healthy food items, fruits and crafts specially handmade by the kids themselves just for this exclusive event. The students were assigned the role of Shopkeeper, Assistant Shopkeeper, Recorder, Cashier and Bag Seller. All the participants showed up in their colorful aprons, hats and stickers according to matching themes of their respective stalls and duties.

The shopkeepers gave a detailed explanation of each item in their stalls and with their persuasive skills, did very well in convincing customers and visitors to grab lots of goodies from their shop. Another fun part of the shopkeepers’ duty was the counting of money from the sales and handing the changes back to the customers. This was done by applying simple addition, subtraction, multiple and division just as we see in a regular grocery store.

The recorders kept every detail of the items sold by noting them down in tally sheets while also maintaining accuracy so that the numbers tally with the products. They did their work very diligently so as to avoid any errors.

Special mention to the fruit sellers who did a commendable job in operating the weighing scale. Here they were required to weigh fruits according to the customer’s needs, and not by definite units like 1 kg , 2 kgs etc but everything in between, in the form of fractions. The use of mathematics here was really impressive. Such a joy to watch little kids being so innovative.

To sum it up, one would say this year’s supermarket was one of the best, if not the best so far because we got to witness so many new and exciting items which were on-the-spot for the very first time like Pancakes and Popcorn which was a huge hit among the customers.

Everyone played their roles and duties superbly. The event also received warm feedback and appreciation from visitors, both young and old who enjoyed every bit of it. Looking forward to a much bigger and better Supermarket next year.
