New Unit - How We Organise Ourselves- Economics

By -
Students are really excited about this unit - "Economics" and have been showing a lot of enthusiasm for their summative assessment which is going to be the "Entrepreneurship Day". We started the unit by playing the famous trade game called- Business/Monopoly where the students got to know and discuss the vocabulary and elements related to Economics. The students came up with words like buying and selling, seller and customer and so on. Thereafter, they prepared a survey sheet of goods and services to find out about the market demand. They conducted a survey in the school with their friends and teachers. Later they prepared a business report about their product that they will be selling. During this process, the students are learning the various aspects of the market and business which are the major aspects of Economics.







In Maths, students continue to practice division using different strategies like grouping, sharing, number line and repeated subtraction using a variety of manipulatives like judo cubes, match sticks, rubber bands and ice cream sticks.





 In English, reading sessions are going on with a variety of books including 'One Hen' which is related to their unit and we have just begun with our 'Novel Study' with a book by Roald Dahl called 'The George's Marvellous Medicine'. Students enjoy reading so as teachers.

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.

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
