WHERE WE ARE IN PLACE AND TIME
A few glimpses of the days gone by:
This week we all
had great UOI classes. These Unit of Inquiry classes showed us how to work in a
team and also helped us gain a lot of information about India. Here’s what we
did.
The teachers had organized a quiz for us, on the four parts
of India- North, East, West and South. We were divided in 4 teams to answer the
questions. While answering the questions with our group, we thoroughly enjoyed
ourselves. During this activity we displayed the attribute Knowledgeable.
As we are nearing the end of our second UOI-World citizens,
we prepared for the summative. We had to try and present our understanding of
the central idea through a special assembly. We all worked together and were
very Open Minded and Co-operative.
This week started with the excitement
of an extended weekend. This excitement continued into exploring different
cultures by guest speakers, Mrs. Arpita and Mrs. Kashiefa.
The speakers explained
us how they have adapted to the host countries. This activity was based on the
second line of inquiry – How the cultures of the host countries
influence the way people live. We also researched on the four
culturally different regions of India- East, West, North and South. The
students put up wonderful presentations on this task. Along with the
presentation, they prepared a collation sheet where they put down all the
information collectively to prepare for a Quiz. Children also researched on Ireland
and made presentation on the information they had found.
The Summative task was also shared
within the grade. Students are now preparing for a special assembly on International
Mindidness on the 24th of this month. Everyone is working
very hard for this.
We are now looking forward to unveiling
of different cultures in the assembly.
The previous unit on technology ended with
a lot of learning. Most of the students presented their presentations using
various Wed 2.0 Tools.
The beginning of this week has bought us to
get yet another unit that is a part of our daily life. The TD Theme for our 2nd
unit is WHERE WE ARE IN PLACE AND TIME.
Under this TD Theme we have started our
discussions on Culture, Religion and social setups. We visited the website ‘Tag
Galaxy’ and viewed pictures on Culture. We wrote our understanding on the
strands of the TD Theme presented it.
This unit is going to give us an
opportunity to explore different Cultures and Religions while we share the same
planet and aim at the same goals.
