MYP 5 World Tourism Day Assembly on 28 September 2017

-
MYP year 5 presented a spectacular assembly that was infused with energy. The Christopher Columbus Award was conferred on MYP Year 2 for securing the maximum number of points in a mind-boggling quiz on geography.



The quiz was followed by a breath-taking dance that took the gathering on a journey across India. Subsequently, a mellifluous mesmerizing song pervaded the school building.



The learners reflected on the development of ATL skills such as self-management and social skills whilst sharing how they portrayed the IB learner profiles Open-mindedness and Risktaker.

by Rajee Venugopal Unit 1 reflection MYP 3 Global Context - Identities and relationship (Exploring - Physical, spiritual and mental health) The students were introduced to the first topic in this unit ’Food Production’ where they organised themselves into different continents and presented their progress in the field of agriculture. It was a very good activity where sharing of information took place to the maximum and ended up in a debate. The complete classroom scenario was like a seminar and the learners enjoyed this. The skills developed through this activity were research skills and communication skills. An agricultural farm visit was planned to learn about new techniques of farming. The students’ knowledge about agricultural practices was further extended to a service through farming in a small scale in the school premises. They grew Fenugreek (methi) in a sort of kitchen garden, taking care to water the plants and adding manure from time to time. ...

by Jalpa Shreyas Shah A case study is a good example of problem-based learning which involves in-depth study of the problem through research and data collection. In a case study, students not only learn to identify the problem but also propose solutions and explain the social, economic, geographical implications of the study being undertaken. This can be a very good teaching pedagogy for development of criterion D in sciences which reflects on the impact of sciences with regard to a proposed problem. Our students of Grade 9 Chemistry were provided with a case study on the problem ‘Life and condition of people involved in emerald mining in India and Brazil’. The case study was based on their unit in Chemistry titled Extraction of Metals. The students were given the abstract on Gemstone industries in both countries and details of emerald mining. The case study described (a) how the farmers are forced to give away their agricultural land for the illegal mining industry wh...

MYP Student Reflections on International Dot Day

1. Eishita Dhanwani (MYP 4) Our school decided to celebrate the international dot day by organising a competition. I personally think that is a wonderful way to celebrate an important event that even I was unaware about until the competition was announced. At first, when it was announced, most of us started panicking. We all scattered around the class in order to find the required supplies. Charts, sketch pens, crayons and a ton of other items were assembled on the tables. We all decided to make groups in order to share creative ideas and come up with something really creative and time saving. Our class was in chaos. Some were seriously doing their work. Our class did come up with splendid products. It was really creative and each of them were personalised which made them very special. All in all, I loved the activity and I'm sure so did the others, with the hopes of more interesting events. 2. Anushka Agrawal (MYP 3) Today, on September 15th, our school...
