EYP

O ur nursery learners are

inquiring into the central idea “We

understand more about ourselves

everyday”, under the

transdisciplinary theme ‘who we

are’. Students went to K1 class and

spoke about balance lifestyle which

included healthy eating habits,

health and hygiene; good touch -

bad touch, and how exercise can

help individuals. This gave a clear

evidence of their newly developed

communication skill. They also sang

some rhymes related to the unit eg.

What are my eyes for, Head

shoulder knees and toes, kagaj ki

gudiya, etc.

EYP K2 - TAKING ACTION

T aking action is one of the

five essential elements of the PYP

and an intricate part of the inquiry

cycle. When taking action, students

make connections to new

knowledge they have acquired and

apply their skills in everyday life.

K2 learners were inquiring into the

central idea “People play different

roles in the communities to which

they belong”. Through this unit they

understood the role of individuals in

the development of a society. At the

end of the unit students decided to

make ‘THANK-YOU CARDS’ for the

community helpers within their

school community in order to

express their gratitude for the

services provided by them.

Certainly a beautiful way to end the

unit, giving evidence of ones

learning.

EYP CONCEPT HALF, FULL AND EMPTY

L earning pre-Mathematics concepts is important for young children. It makes them

explore and develop an understanding of the world around them. It is a tool that we

use in everyday life to sort, count, measure and analyze. Keeping this in view, the concept

of “Half, Full and Empty” was introduced to the students of K2-B.

Students understood the concept of ‘Half, Full and Empty’ through the story ‘The Thirsty

Crow’. An interactive hands on activity, planned by the teacher was well thought of and

this made learning engaging and exciting for students.

PYP DOODLE ART

A doodle is a drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles

are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be

composed of random and abstract lines. There are numerous theories that state doodling

helps the mind to relax.

On 10th October, 2019; Mental Health Day: students of Grade 1 experienced the world of

calmness by drawing their favourite things and expressed themselves through doodling.

They enjoyed making their own creations and spent some blissful time in the art room.

PYP FIELD TRIP TO GHOLVAD

G rade 5 students along with teachers went on an overnight trip to Treat Beach Resort and Spa at Gholvad. This was organized by M/s. Adventure Tours. Students did activities both outdoors and indoors. They learnt to be tolerant, compassionate and cooperative. During the visit to the agricultural farm, they were fascinated to see how rice, drumsticks, chickoo, mangoes are planted and cultivated.

The visit to the balloon factory was interesting too for the students. At the resort, they played games like Scavenger Hunt, which was a good stimulant. The Navratri fever was caught even at the resort, where they danced to their heart’s content. The food was sumptuous and so was the stay at the resort. The bus journey was comfortable too. Overall, the trip was a great learning experience for all.

Reflection

I liked the overnight trip because it was better than the last year. I felt happy because we did

many learning activities. We visited balloon factory, beach and the agricultural farm. In the

hotel too, we did many activities like Scavenger hunt, DJ party etc. I would love to visit Gholvad

again. I had a lot of fun. - Jinil 5B

MYP/DP A LOSS CAN BE A GREAT GAIN

I llnesses and diseases can instil so much fear that it can hurl a person into the deepest of

labyrinths. I have witnessed my grandfather being thrown into one when he was diagnosed with

cancer. Fortunately he decided to fight his way up. It was a testing period for him and the family.

He struggled with fatigue and taste loss. Hair loss was another very visible and apparent fall out

of the treatment. It led to a lot of embarrassment.

My grandfather’s plight set me thinking about cancer patients especially the young ones who

tend to retreat into a shell due to hair loss. Buying a good wig is an expensive option as very few

donate their crowning glory. This set me thinking on these lines and I decided to give up my hair

to ease the life of some cancer patient. I must confess that it was not an easy decision to make

but I knew I had to do it.

The whole process involved a certain procedure. You may donate a certain length of hair (around

12 inches) to your chosen organization, and that will be used to create a wig. I began to

condition and care for my hair, so that it would grow and fast enough. I must say I was a little

insecure about cutting my hair very short as I thought it would affect my looks. Moreover, I never

wore short hair before. Filled with apprehensions, I grew my hair really long. There were times

when my patience gave way and I wanted to just go ahead and snip it off or times when I

thought I would never grow enough to donate. However, something deep within, my resolution

perhaps, kept me going. I also saw one of my juniors, Hea Khemani, from PYP, donate her hair.

Then there was no going back.

When the time neared for me to chop off my hair, surprisingly the fear of short hair no more

frightened me. In fact I felt proud and wonderful that I was going to do something noteworthy.

As I sat on the chair and watched the final strand being snipped off, a feeling of relief and peace

overcame me.

Now, I am not ashamed of my short hair. In fact, I feel that everyone should donate their hair if

they can. Because who knows, that little effort you take, can make someone really happy.
