MYP 2B Assembly

-


The assembly on 15th March, 2018, presented by the diligent students of MYP 2B included a blend of a robust dance, an eloquent skit based on kidney donation reflecting the common social stigmas which barrier the process on kidney transplant, touched with scientific knowledge of the process. There was an amalgamation of a musical performance with a female choir on the song ‘Bekhauf’ which correlated perfectly with the theme woman empowerment along with some edifying presentations on the Dandi march and a tribute to the legendary cosmologist, Stephen Hawking as he passed away a day before. The tribute included a short biography of his life, how he is one of the most influential personalities in history and a minute of silence devoted to his soul.  
A forte of this assembly was that it was completely a student-driven work, clearly reflecting the students’ understanding on the themes of the assembly, demonstrating the genuine erudition of the students and the on-the-stage skills they have learnt. The musicians corresponding with the choir’s pace, pupils preparing an enlightening presentation of Stephen Hawking in the limited time of a day, the anchors swiftly adjusting their script to include new performances; were all forms of on-the-spot assessment which can be counted as the finest type of assessment.
MYP 2B strived to include a galore of events and presentations of a diversity of different themes to keep the audience betrothed. In all, the assembly was entertaining and as much a pleasure to see as to do.

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. ...

Interdisciplinary Learning and International Mindedness through Case Studies in Chemistry

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...
