In UOI, we started our last unit, "LEADERS". For the provocation, students were divided into four groups and saw the following videos on Krishna, Hanuman, Pied piper and Robinhood. They were asked to share the story before the whole class, in their respective groups. 




















 Chalk Talk Activity - Teacher wrote 5 prompts and put them in 5 different places in the class. The students had to go and write in each prompt regarding their respective videos.






Students brainstormed about leaders as a whole class. Our wizz kids came up with the words for leaders.



In Math, we continued with division. Students created their own word problems and solved it. 


Students were divided into 5 groups and were given mixed bag of 6 word problems (all the 4 mathematical operations). They had to discuss with their group members and solve each problem using different strategies.










In English, students did a recap on "nocturnal" and "barn owl" in novel study. They read chapter one and found adjectives about Plop (the barn owl) and the firework boy.
Students wrote about positive and negative traits about the main character from the book, "The little red lighthouse and the great gray bridge". I had read them the book last week.




Students had their Ross Wilson Assessment this week. The task was to give your thoughts and opinions on working Saturdays at the academy.

In English , students prepared a class story book for the library. They came up with a horror story and named it "The lost ball". They all contributed equally. They wrote the story and illustrated it. The final outcome was AWESOME :) In Guided writing, students continued with letter writing. They wrote a letter to their parents asking them to attend the PTM.  Students were asked to write a small story with a beginning, middle and end and draw pictures in a template. In Math , students did data analysis on culture. As a whole class, they formulated 4 questions. Then they were divided into 4 groups and collected information from various JS classes. They sorted their data with their friends and plotted bar graphs individually in their Math notebook. Finally they plotted the bar graph in their group. In UOI , students came up with the student's questions for the new unit "Energy". They also answered the teacher's questions individually using post i

I hope you all had a great time with your kids. Its nice to come back. Summer is here. Please send cap/umbrella with your kid everyday.  This week in UOI , we discussed about the sources of light as a whole class. They were shown various videos on light and brainstormed it individually in their UOI notebook.  Students were paired up and shown various pictures and they had to discuss with their respective partner whether that object was a source of light or not. They learnt about luminous and non-luminous objects. The teacher showed the students objects through which light can, cannot and partially pass like a transparent sheet, a book and a tissue paper using a torch. Students were introduced to opaque, transparent and translucent objects through this simple experiment.  We discussed about the role of light in vision. They were shown some videos related to this topic. In Mathematics , we did a recap on multiplication
