Field Trip to Nehru Planetarium (Discovery of Life section to explore Early life of Stone Age man)

Objectives – Exploring Life of Early Man

In early days, human life was very hard. They spent their life in caves, wrapped animal skin and tree

leaves over their body and hunted animals for food. The students of Grade II were taken to Nehru

Planetarium to the discovery of Life Section. They discovered how they lived a nomadic life with the

bare means of survival. A life like depiction was created where the children walked through a cave and

explored what they did, ate and how they stayed.

Pots, man made huts made out of stick and covered with leaves and weapons made out of stones were

displayed.

Queries from students

What food did they eat?

How did they make weapons from stones?

What did they make of pots?

Located in Central Europe, this country has world's third-most powerful economy.

A Guest Talk was conducted for Grade III by Mrs Libna, a parent from Primary Section, who has

visited Germany and shared her experiences about the same.

The students were actually transported to the Land of Germany through a PPT where the culture,

government, entertainment and beauty of the country was displayed. The craze for football as a

sport was highlighted.

The presentation was very informative and was ended with lovely gifts given by the speaker as a

token.

The students too presented a Thank You card to the speaker to extend their gratitude to the speaker.

Guest talk on Local Government

Local Government is a body which functions at the village and district level.

A Guest talk was conducted by the Guest Speaker Ms Jasmine a teacher from the secondary de-

partment of CPGIS.

The speaker shared her knowledge on the topic by showing a presentation to the children for better

understanding. It was an interactive session where the student’s knowledge was reinforced.

The session ended by a quick recap on the topic.

Keep Away from Strangers!

Life skills are abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enable us to deal effectively with the

demands and challenges of everyday life.

The students of Grade II were introduced to the topic by inviting a Stranger to interact with them (a

person known to the school of course!)

The children were reminded of the fact that he was a stranger to them whom they are not supposed

to acknowledge. Ms Aarti the Life skills teacher in the primary department highlighted the points on

keeping away from strangers.

Students were repeatedly told and convinced not to interact / trust any unfamiliar person.

This major, modern, multi-sport event of international significance is in the news all over the

world !!!!

Keeping the focus of the Rio Olympics 2016 in mind, the students of the primary section livened up

the morning hours by creating collages (Grade I and II) and making banners (Grade III and IV) to

encourage our Indian participants.

A lot of creativity, imagination and enthusiasm was witnessed which depicted the hidden talent in

each and every child.

CHAK DE INDIA !!!! !!!!

Moms came to school as super teachers to talk about their own religious festivals.

They spoke about Christmas, Holi ,Diwali ,Dussehra, Eid & Guru purab. The kids were excited &

enthusiastic to see there moms speaking about their festivals.

It’s So Cute isn’t it !!

The Students of Grade 1 were introduced to the meaning of “Pet”.

Here it meant an animal which they could keep at home for pleasure and companionship.

The Guest Speaker enlightened them with the dos and don'ts if one wanted to keep a pet and

also pointed out the fact that one had to be emotionally involved.

I know how much the tomatoes weigh !!!!

How much do I need to pay for 1 Kg. of Potatoes?

The students of grade 1 visited the super market on 28th July (Thursday).

To understand and learn how to shop. Use of weight, amount to be paid,

checking the bill and finally taking the change back.

So they learnt to be little Moms and Dads doing the household shopping.

As an extension of the curriculum, the Biology children visited Orbit Eye Hospital to observe eye

surgery. Thanks to one of our parents Dr. Amjad Umer Furniturewala who gave this rare opportunity to

our students.

As a part of curriculum of Biology students of grade 10 ( IGCSE II) were taken on a hospital visit by

Mr. Ankit Mistry (Biology teacher) to observe the cataract surgery along with the observation and

understanding of different instruments used in the field of ophthalmology like LASIK.

On arrival the students were seated at the visiting area where they observed two ongoing cataract surgery

which got them curious and anxious towards the soft skills of the surgeon and the procedure of breaking

the lens and inserting a new artificial silicon lens was exciting for them.

During those two surgeries an eye surgeon guided us towards the different steps involved in the proce-

dure and was thrilled by the bombardment of queries and questions from the kids which she answered

with patience and the students were satisfied with the understanding which was then followed by the sur-

geon Dr. Amjad Umer Furniturewala, (FRCS(UK), M.S.(Ophthal), DOMS (Gold Medalist)) then ad-

dressed the students about the different parts of the eye and its defects along with different ways of treat-

ment more emphasis was given on cataract.

Dr Amjad then allowed two students Varun Patel an Aquib Furniturewala to enter the surgery room and

witness the live surgery where other students were observing the same on a TV screen.

The students were inspired by the knowledge and skills of the surgeon and were curious to know the ca-

reer path guided by the ophthalmic surgeon. The session took about an hour and half that created a mem-

orable experience for our students.

On July 28, 2016 students of secondary section from grades V to IX participated in the

‘Best out of waste’ competition. It was aimed at making the kids realize the importance of

recycling things that can be used again. The projects done were of variety ranging from

pen holders, paper bags, bird feed and decorative items. Best two projects were judged

from each grade level based on the rubric. A time limit of an hour was given to complete

the projects individually. Overall most of the kids did a fine job and it was a productive

event.
