Grammar lessons have never been so engaging. Grammar rap activity was conducted in Grade III for the topic ‘Adjectives’. The Adjectives Rap Song is the perfect seasoning to any noun diet for Adjectives are words that describe nouns.

An activity like this one helps the students remember the structure better and anchor it in their long-term memory. Learning gets easy for them.

GRADE VIII STUDENTS REVIEW THE FARM BILL

Learning has to connect with the real world at large. Teaching in the classroom has to help students develop interpretative skills. Critical thinking skills help students to combat myriad crisis situations and change their approach to the topic at hand. Roleplay identifies the character in its natural empathetic self and this leads to a better, holistic understanding of subjects. Grade VIII students presented the current ‘Farm Bill Crisis’ in a democratic way infusing both government and farmers’ views on the bill to extend an unbiased study of the Bill. The presentation was part of the exit ticket strategy used by the teacher to fathom the achievement of the learning objectives of the chapter ’Agriculture’. It was presented on 10th December 2020 in the regular online class.

The students presented the parliamentary process by which the bill was implemented. The students also presented brief information on the three bills housed in the parliament. The fervour behind the protests by the farmers, the discontent over some provisions of the bill was laid bare through the role-play well articulated by the students. It was a learning moment for the students, joyous to understand the intricacies of real-world problems and solutions.

EVS -Enjoy & Explore

The students of Grade IV enjoyed different tastes and identified the different areas on the tongue from where they tasted different flavours.

The students pasted those food items on a cut out of tongue and then shared about it in the class. The teachers only guided them to bring the food items of different flavours and then students learnt the concept through their own experience.

NATIONAL MATHEMATICS DAY

National Mathematics Day is celebrated every year on 22nd December to remember Indian mathematics genius Srinivasa Ramanujan on his birth anniversary. At DPS Lava we observed this Day with not only a week long mathematics week, but also planned interesting activities for the students.
