The theme for MYP 3B Assembly today was ‘The Budget and its implications’.   The learners presented the impact of the Budget on different economic sectors of our country through brief conversations. And a funny video on the economic status of our country accompanied this discussion. The highlight of the Assembly was a hilarious qawwali on ‘Demonetization’ which showcased the creative skills of the learners in using music as a medium of expression. Another video on the importance of time-management was shown to emphasize the fact that time is money; it gets wasted if we do not utilize it judiciously. Through these presentations, the learners showed their creative, communication and self- management skills. The Assembly concluded with a thanks-giving to the teachers.

Our MYP2 learners demonstrated their understanding of yoga by designing, explaining and justifying an aesthetic sequence of yoga asanas and then performing the sequence of asanas in groups for assessment.

It is truly said that 'the most effective learning happens outside the classroom'. Students of MYP 3 visited a farm near Dakachya village on 24 March 2017 to experience farming with modern tools and techniques. The planned field trip reinforced the concepts in the Science Unit 'Agriculture'. Students reflected that practical application of classroom learning makes understanding of a concept easier and interesting by sowing marigold seeds, planting soya bean seedlings, and gaining knowledge about bee-keeping. While testing the pH of the soil of the crop field with a pH meter, they found that it was 7.5.  During the field trip, students showcased various IB learner profiles of inquirers, caring and thinker. More field trips based on the curriculum will be beneficial to break the monotony of classroom learning.

Lastly, the culmination of the assembly was with a video about the MYP 3A students' journey for this assembly. The assembly was appreciated for its team effort.

Once again CI bloomed with colors! The event which brightened the premises was - MYP Inter-house T-shirt painting competition- and the theme was “ Gone Google ” .  Budding artists came up with colourful art that displayed their creativity. Their artistic impressions were evident in their flair for painting with different hues.  Students used creatively GAFE tools and Google applications on T – shirts. Some of the paintings were animated characters, the globe or splashed colors to give accidental effect.  The students ’ enthusiasm was reflected well in their designing. Kudos to them.
