Child Rights

 We started this term by sharing about our 'Christmas break'. Students love to discuss their experiences and we get to learn so much from each other. As each individual has a different set of experiences, it provides an opportunity for us to learn something new. While playing 'Duck, duck, goose', each of us got a chance to learn something new from one another.
 Students were provided with an opportunity to share their research on Child Rights. They were provided with the time to prepare for their presentations. Some groups created Powerpoint presentations, one of them performed a skit, some had paper presentations and another one created a diorama. Each group had its own creativity to present their understanding of Child Rights.
With Ms. Louisa's help, students were able to create a song on Child Rights. The tune of the song was inspired, however, students of Grade 3 recreated the lyrics. Some of the students also played musical instruments such as Keyboard, recorders, metallophones and a drum to have music in the background.
 We continue to read 'Charlotte's Web', a chapter book which helps to build vocabulary, listening skills, and language development.
 In Maths, students were provided with opportunities to recall number facts of multiplication and division. Students were engaged in different activities to solve problems related to these basic operations.
Preparation for the Summative Assessment
Our visit to the Devendra Nagar School- Students created an awareness of Child Rights among the students of a neighboring school. They sang the song for them, created posters of the lyrics. They also created some placards related to each right in Hindi and Telugu to ensure understanding. We have collaborated with this school earlier and will continue to do so. This is also a part of taking action for this unit. 
In ICT lesson, students created logos for each right and used Ozobots to move on them.
Assembly time
All the students participated actively during this assembly on Friday morning. Every teacher in the Junior school appreciated their performance. Our special thanks to all the specialist teachers who collaborated and supported us throughout the unit.

Short and Sweet Week

Image
Though this was only a ‘three days’ week, it still has some exciting things to share with you all. Students went on a nature walk and were guided to collect three artefacts from nature. After they came back the students were provided with some questions to reflect on by the teacher. Students were given a choice to present their understanding either through writing or speaking (oral presentation) or by using any other ICT tools. This activity was done collaboratively with the other section. Students were also given a choice if they would like to work in pairs or be on their own.    Ms Sue (Dr Long’s wife) was also with us during a couple of lessons where she helped some of our students with their inquiry. Thank you, Ms Sue! Our reading session was done by Ms Robin again this week, where she read aloud some verses of funny poems with us. Please ask your child why they were funny and they will tell you about it. ...

September-Week-3

Monday this week began with the assembly on launching the ‘Peace Week’. As we have the International Day of Peace on 21 st of September, Ms Latha, Ms Nivedita and I came up with some activities for the whole school- grade-wise and shared them with everyone through the assembly. Student council members helped us to introduce these activities to all. In ICT, students learned to create a timeline on an app called ‘Popplet lite’. They created their own life’s timeline initially. Later, the next day, they used the same app for their research on Heritage to create a timeline on ‘Rulers of Hyderabad’. The other centres were as follows:                 Identify shapes and patterns from the resource books provided and draw them in their books.  Research on the dressing style of people to compare and contrast east from west. Interview one of the members in your group about their food habits and make connections with the research on...

Celebration of Learning and Talent

Image
This month began with a bash and is continuing to be so much fun for all of us in Grade-3. Beginning with preparing for the 'Bazaars of Hyderabad' and to witness it coming into reality in both the classrooms was marvelous. The buzzing streets of the 'Bazaars of Hyderabad' was much appreciated by all the spectators and visitors. It was a formative assessment for the students of Grade-3 and students from Grade-9 were the assessors. Each and every individual who came to the bazaars were appreciative of the hard work our students have invested in these markets, may it be their research finding or their presentations. Right from the students in Grade-1 to Grade 9, adults including teachers both from Junior and Senior schools, parents, Ms. Latha and Ms. Chloe were all in awe. In Maths, we continue to practice and solve addition and subtraction problems. The strategy of rounding was introduced last week. Students enjoye...
