CHILDREN'S DAY OUTING“Children are not things to be moulded, but people to be unfolded.” – Jess Lair Children’s day at Suncity School 37D was celebrated with a movie outing for the children. Movies are not only a source of entertainment. They are an immensely powerful medium that can educate and influence young minds, widening their canvas and helping them build a strong value system. Understanding how one adapts to their surroundings and as friends how you are there for each other was the learning when students of Grades III – V watched the Disney movie ‘Lyle Lyle Crocodile’. SuperHero movies never go out of style. Students of Grades VI to X watched the DC movie ‘Black Adams’ with their friends. Loading up on movie treats with Popcorns & soft drink with a dash of chocolate completed the whole movie ensemble. MATHRevision of UT2 The students were asked to prepare for UT-2. UT-2 syllabus was revised properly with the help of revision worksheet which was shared through "Teams". The common errors were pointed out in the class and made students realize their mistakes. Later, the answer scripts were given to the students to take home. Comparing Quantities- Role play on Comparing Quantities As introduction, we asked the students to prepare a business plan to share with the other students to buy their product(s). Ratios: “The relation between two numbers which shows how much bigger one quantity is than another”. Ratio was introduced to the students with the help of their real life situation and the NCERT textbook questions were solved in the class. Percentage: Conversion of percentage into value and vice versa were taught in the class with the support of NCERT text book questions and extra questions were asked to do as a practice questions from Oxford text book. Profit/loss, VAT (GST) and Sales Tax The chapter of profit and loss was started with oral test to check the previous year knowledge. The formulas of profit or loss percentage and discount were done with the help of concept map. NCERT text questions were explained and the students were asked to solve the problems on the Class Notebook. Compound Interest: The topic was removed keeping exam point of view in mind. Even though the basic questions based on Compound interest were introduced to the students. ENGLISH“The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice.”- Brian Herbert The learners continued to develop their concept of Active and Passive Voice with an interactive session where how a sentence is spoken in two different ways was observed by the students. The learners found it interesting and interactively grabbed the concept well. Keeping in mind Bloom’s taxonomy, they were able to APPLY the use of Active and Passive Voice and IDENTIFY them in their day to day conversations. All the uses of – “be, being and been” and rules to follow while changing a sentence from active to passive, special rules for interrogative and negative sentences were discussed with the help of a PPT followed by the discussion of textbook exercises. The students were given an enrichment exercise for extra practice. “Superstition is the religion of feeble minds.”- Edmund Burke The students were assigned a reading task from the supplementary reader 'Malgudi Days'. They were briefed about the chapter 'Cat Within' on the basis of which they had to write the events of the story based on the analysis of traits like superstition, tradition, honesty, fear, selfishness and acceptance. They were able to sum up with their own views and comments about the story. They were able to write the answers independently after a discussion in the class. The students were introduced to 'Article Writing' and discussed how an article is different from a regular paragraph. They discussed the format together. The hints were explained and they were guided how to elaborate on them. The handout for the same was also shared. Students attempted to write on a topic after referring to an exemplar. They had to read an article from the local newspaper or NIE and share it during the next lesson. In literature, the learners interactively discussed the theme of the poem – ‘The Cane Bottom’d Chair’. The students could relate the poem with their own memories where they remembered their childhood days with an interactive session on their favourite belongings. The learners were able to answer the RTC questions well with a clear understanding of the rhyming scheme, poetic devices used in the poem. The learners revised the syllabus for UT-2 very well with the help of class revisions, discussion of blue print(sample paper) and practising Grammar and literature through an open book test.

[Art Integration] Students researched and discussed on IVF and Test tube babies. [English Integration]. Students learnt how to determine the gender of a child with the help of chromosomes. Students also had a class debate on the topic, “Growing up and changing can be exciting and scary at the same time.” [English Integration] Physics UT- II Preparation: The students practiced revision worksheets and sample papers for their UT-II. Chapter -16 Based on prior knowledge, students recapitulated reflection of light and laws of reflection. They observed the laws of reflection in the Physics Lab through an activity using plain mirrors. Based on the knowledge of image formation, students listed the characteristics of an image formed by a plane mirror when (a) an object is a point source of light (b) when object is an extended source of light. In addition, the students discussed different types of sources of light and distinguished between luminous and non-luminous objects. With the help of lab activity, students observed the formation of multiple images when mirrors are inclined at different angles and they were able to find out the applications of multiple image formation in real life for example, Kaleidoscope. Students listed the usage of plane mirrors in different areas of real life. In addition, the students also understood the significance of refraction of light with the help of a lab activity. Chemistry The lesson Metals and Non-metals was continued in this month. Students learnt about different chemical properties of metals and non-metals like reaction of metals and non- metals with oxygen, acids and water with the help of lab experiments followed by a discussion of a set of questions. The reactivity series of metals was introduced to them in the form of mnemonics where they actually enjoyed while learning the names of metals easily. A peer-teaching activity was also designed where they taught the topic of reactivity series to their peers followed by the discussion of review questions to check their understanding. At the end, the properties of metals and non-metals were also recapitulated through oral questions.
