Global Hand Wash Drive conducted by MYP 1 learners

-



Choithram International will be celebrating 15th October 2017 as Global Hand Washing Day in association with Dettol. Our school has pledged to participate in the global event and sensitize all stakeholders on the importance of hand washing and the right way to do it.



Our MYP 1 learners started with a brainstorming session on (a) the importance of hand washing, (b) common diseases that spread due to improper hand washing, and (c) the correct ways to wash hands.


The learners then met their peers to conduct a survey as to how many times their respondents washed their hands in a day. During the survey, the learners found that many respondents were following improper methods of washing hands. The learners, therefore, informed the respondents on the right way to wash hands.


The results of the survey were recorded and it was concluded that, while a majority of stakeholders understood the importance of washing hands, there were many who did not wash hands using the right techniques. The learners will now present the findings, explain the importance of washing hands, and arrange a pledge ceremony for the stakeholders.

   ‘Dead Men Do Tell Tales’.- William R. Maples Interdisciplinary education allows students to see different perspectives and work in groups with the synthesis of disciplines the ultimate goal. Choithram International took an initiative to celebrate IDL week by indulging in Interdisciplinary Teaching Learning activities. CI teachers decided to take teaching a step further by connecting their ongoing topics with other disciplines. This would help students to understand why they are learning a particular topic and how they can apply their knowledge gained in real life.  Ongoing topic ‘Skeletal System’ in MYP 1 Biology was connected with Forensics wherein students got to know that the skeleton speaks a lot about the gender and age of the deceased and also the reason of the death of a person.
