Yet again, the children had fun and learnt a lot at the same time!

In English, the groups were given samples of a few poems. They were asked to find the unique Methodology used by the poets. There was a discussion and 'Figures of Speech' were introduced. We spoke about simile, metaphor, personification, alliteration and onomatopoeia.

In math, we had a very interesting kinesthetic activity. We learnt coordinates (positive and negative). The grid was represented using coloured ribbons and stuck on the tiles of the school corridor. The children were split into two teams. A memeber from one team was given a coordinate pair. He/she was asked to give instructions to the member from the other team member to move to that particular point. For example, if the student got (-4, -5), he/she would say "Move four blocks to the left; move five blocks down". Then, the member was asked to say what point he/she was at.

We also then went to the class and plotted some coordinates on paper.

In UOI, the Music teacher came to the class as Guest speaker. He spoke about how he started playing music instruments and why he likes it much. He played some music to show different feelings. The students would close their eyes and feel the music to realize it's impact. It helped the students to understand how people express themselves through music and how it makes them unique.
