It has been a very fruitful week. Students were able to spend quite some time inquiring, learning and understanding.
In unit of inquiry students understood concepts like economy, compression, tension, center of gravity and balance. Students brainstormed on the word economy and how it is connected to different words and how it effects our lives. They made a mind of their understanding and presented their ideas through a fish bowl activity.
To understand the science concepts of tension, compression, balance and center of gravity, they went to the science lab and did various experiments. Apart from that, Mr Sudipta, our science head of the department in seniour school helped the students understand the concepts with ease. Below are some photographs of students doing experiments:
We also had our guest speaker, who very diligently helped students understand the various factors which influence the construction of buildings and structures. As she is an architect herself, her insights were very helpful and interesting. Below are photographs of our guest speaker:
In English students did various engagements on the novel- The tale of Despereoux. Students started writing the character sketch of Despereoux, some students were comparing Despereoux with any other character of a book, while some make connections with other books, their lives and the world at large.
In Maths students revisited the concept of unitary method through word problems. They also revisited the concept of CORI (collecting, organising, representing and interpreting data). Students did a preunit assessment on shape and space and are revisiting different dimensions, the properties of 3D shapes and the difference between prisms and pyramids.

Students went for a field trip to the Hitech city in order to have a look at the different types of buildings and structures.
