January 4th to 6th - Week 1

We worked for only three days in the first week of the second term.

In UOI, we continued with the unit on civilizations. The students did Map work and located the different continents and the states of India on a world and an Indian map respectively. The students did the progressive mind maps and analyzed the meaning of a 'civilization' using the story boards. We began with the Indus Valley Civilization. Students were divided into groups based on the different aspects of a civilization: Culture, systems, inventions and discoveries and other interesting facts.

In English, we continued with story writing. The students wrote the stories for their story boards in their writing books. We also looked into direct and indirect speech and their interconversion.

In math, we first had revision for the mid term assessment. All the concepts covered in the first term were revised in the class. We then began with the unit on fractions. We had the pre unit assessment. The students were asked to estimate fractions on straight lines. They were then asked to calculate the correct answer and find the errors. We also had some extension activities.
