Learning @ CI

The development of a child is a collaborative effort of both, the teachers and the parents. The new academic session reckoned with great zeal and geared up the students to exhibit their flair in every realm. The students successfully sailed through the first three months of the session and to update the parents with their ward’s progress, the first parent – teacher meet was organized in the school on September 29, 2018 wherein they were informed about the strengths and weaknesses of their child and also were suggested some remedial measures for further improvement. It was a productive meet and the parents as well as the teachers shared their views and discussed about the further opportunities.

Today, the 27th of September is celebrated as ‘World Tourism Day’. MYP 2 students, in the assembly, represented different countries and presented the culture, language, food and worth-visiting places of different countries that attract tourists. The aim, through their presentation, was to emphasize on International mindedness. Students also reflected on the school mission statement which states the importance of in stilling traits like being compassionate, open minded and responsible. They also shared the meaning and importance of being resilient through a beautiful poem and motivated other students to make “resilience” an integral part of their personality. The other fun-filled attractions like ‘Math Tricks’ and ‘Tongue twisters’ offered the audience an opportunity to participate zealously. Throughout the planning and execution of this assembly, the “skill - self-management” was reinforced and “open-minded” learner profile was targetted.

Students of MYP 1 visited the 'Nature's nursery' on September 20, 2018 to gather more information about flowering plants that attract butterflies.  This visit helped the students to work on a curriculum driven service to create a butterfly garden in the school campus to attract more number of butterflies as they are getting endangered. Students thereby would try to provide a fair chance for these Arthropods to develop. The activity was based on t he global context - Fairness and development and related to the unit "Life on Earth”. Students bought seeds of flowering plants from the nursery to create their own butterfly garden. The visit and the planning helped the students to develop a ‘caring’ as the learner profile and also reinforced self - management skills.

Assemblies are vital events for each distinct student who takes part in them, as they are the integral portions of the learning cycle where one can learn to execute amongst the weight of being viewed by an atrium full of people.  On September 20, 2018, MYP 3B was given the opportunity to self-choreograph a dance and skit; and manage the whole assembly with a foundation of previous experience, to sway the over-all performance towards the on-going t hemes of the time: International Peace Day, Muharram and Ganesh Chaturthi. All the acts left the audience mesmerized as the presentations were grounded in integrity and spread the message of peace all over. The musical presentations sounded pleasant to everyone’s ears and filled the air with soothing vibes. The students exhibited ‘caring’ as the learner profile and enthralled all through their zealous performances
