SYNOPSIS OF LITERACY ACTIVITY (Grammar)

Students are continually given exposure to oral and written language to develop fluency while speaking and more skilful while writing, in the process raising more confident orators and writers.

PREPOSITION:The students will understand thata preposition is a word that tells us the position of the noun with other words in a sentence. They act to connect the people, objects, time and locations of a

sentence. Prepositions are usually short words and they are normally placed

directly in front of nouns like: in, on, under, above, in front of, near, behind etc.

PUNCTUATIONS:Students will learn and understand that punctuation is used in a sentence to bring about sense and clarity in it. It also helps to structure and organise our writing. (.) Full stop - We put a full stop at the end of a sentence. (,) Comma – We put a comma between nouns and adjectives.

Example: I have pencils, pens and erasers in my box. (noun) My mother is tall, smart and beautiful. (adjective) Comma also indicates pause in a speech. Example: If you cook, Rahul would serve the food.

( ! ) Exclamation mark – We put an exclamation mark after commands, interjections or words that show surprise or anger. Example: Pay attention! (commands), Wow, that truck is huge!(interjection) Oh! What a glorious victory! (surprise)

( ? ) Question mark –We put a question mark after a question. These are some of the punctuations that would be taken up explaining the usage of each one to the students.

UNJUMBLE SENTENCES: Students will learnto unjumble the words in an order to make it a meaningful sentence and easy to understand. Example: going/ park/ is/ Rahul/ to/ the/ Rahul is going to the park.

JOLLY PHONICS WORKBOOK FOR BUILDING NEW VOCABULARY: • Commas in List – page11. Make students understand that the

commas are used to separate the words in a list. • Exclamations marks – page 13. Make the students understand that

the exclamation marks is used to express the strong feelings about something.

• Spelling rules Soft saying the/j/ sound and Hard . Example: When ‘g’ is followed by e, i, y it sounds like’j’. The letter ‘g’

has two sounds, hard ‘g’ and soft ‘g’. The hard sound of ‘g’ occurs more frequently. Its sound is heard in gas, got, gum, etc. Soft ‘g’

sounds like ‘j’. It is heard in gem, giant, gym, etc. • Prepositions – page 61. Make the students understand that

Preposition tells us the position of an object in a sentence.

READING: Reading is one of the most fundamental skills a student needs to acquire, as it enriches vocabulary, attention span and inculcates lifelong love for books. Students would do model, chorus and individual and silent reading

of (Fitzroy Reader 24- The Cat, the Dog and the Vet).

SYNOPSIS OF NUMERACY ACTIVITIES

To nourish student’s thinking skills and develop their logical and analytical skills, the following concepts will be done in the class

NUMBER CONCEPTS: Forward Counting – 500 to 600, Number Concepts (500-600)

Using manipulatives (Ganit mala and SauRangon Ki Khoj)

ADDITION: • Students will learn the basics of Addition how to add, sum or ‘bring

together’ two or more numbers to make a new number. • The ability to ‘Add up’ is important in all aspects of life, at home,

school, work and socially. The plus sign(+) is used to denote an addition.

Example: 12+ 11 = 23 • Addition will be taught by using objects (pencils, books), Dimes and

Maan cards.

SUBTRACTION:

• Subtractmeans to take away from a group or number of things. The minuend, subtrahend and difference are parts of a Subtraction.

Example: 15- 10= 5

• The part that is left after subtraction is called the difference. Through subtraction students will identify with the terms like less or ‘take away’ and find the difference and will strengthen their backward counting.

ICT- TECNOLOGY MORE THAN A CHOICE

ICT skills are imperative for students to build strong communication skills.The students will learn:

Lab Assignment

• Create a poster on my favourite animal. • Create a table by inserting five rows and four columns.

Art always has a tranquilizing effect on the minds of children and along with the fun ailment inculcates an immense sense of discipline. Considering the seamless integration, students will learn to draw different animals from the farm and colour them with brushes (abstract art technique).

MUSIC AND MELODY Learning music promotes craftsmanship, enhances creativity and

calmness of mind and body. Our students would be encouraged to learn and sing various songs (Together We Can Change The World, You Can

Count On Trees) along with our School Song and National Anthem.

MOVEMENT DANCE:Through dance, students learn teamwork, focus and improvisational skills. Dance awakens new perceptions in children which help them learn and think in new ways.
