7th October - Elocution

We began with our new unit of inquiry today: "What's the matter?"

There was a differentiated task as a pre unit assessment: One group had to do a KWHL chart (What I know, What I want to know, How will I learn and What have I learnt), The other group completed sentences (Materials are.. Materials used in the class room are.. etc.) and the last group received a group of words (names of objects). They were asked to categorize these objects keeping in mind the topic of materials.

In math, we solved some more problems pertaining to BODMAS.

In English, we had a quiz on Idioms.

We also practiced for the Grade 5 assembly.

The Elocution competition happened for Grade 5 in the morning. The videos of all the participants have been uploaded:

6th October

It was one of those days for the fives when there were too many things to do and not much of academics happened.

In the morning, we prepared for our assembly, which is on Monday. After lunch, we had the elocution competition. Unfortunately, we ran out of time and Grade 5 will have the competition tomorrow morning.

27th to 31st September

My apologies to all the bloggers... Have been quite occupied and was not able to update this page..

But I am back now!!!! And will hence onwards be regular.. for sure!!

Here is a brief overview of what happened this week:

Math: We had a formative assessment in integers. Based on their performance, the children were given extra practice. Focus was given to the concepts which they had not understood well. The students who did well were extended by solving problems based on division of integers.

English: We completed the Poetry booklets. The students were introduced to analysis of poems. We summarized excerpts from the popular poem "Daffodils".

UOI: The children worked on their stage show (A musical play showcasing the 'role of various arts in different cultures around the world). The expert groups worked together. We ended the week by the summative assessment where the children had to interpret the central idea and present it through any art form.

We also had the poetry recitation competition on Monday. Also, you can view images and a video from the CAS event: an orchestra presentation by a visually impaired group.

Here are the pictures and videos from the week:
