Hello Adventure!

“Adventure is worthwhile.” – Aesop

"An excursion is not just a pleasure trip; rather it is an extension of the classrooms. It is a part & parcel of students life”. To break the monotony of life & fill the mind with joy, a fun-filled overnight excursion was organized by Choithram International for students of MYP 1 - MYP 4 to ‘Flame of the Forest’. After a 3 hour journey, the students finally reached the resort which was amidst picturesque forests and farmlands. Some say that the journey is more important than the destination; however, the fun students had throughout the journey was easily leveled by their experience at the resort itself.

The resort offered a wide range of leisure and adventure activities which, for most of the people, was a new and unique experience. Gliding swiftly down on the zip-line, rappelling down walls, rock climbing with much effort or just taking a swim in the relaxing pool; there was much over there to offer. If one would still be bored, a game room and a torchlight night-time nature walk would definitely leave one interested. It was an outing that made the students confident, courageous and to a great extent assisted them to conquer their fears.

The students got an opulent opportunity to be in nature’s lap, in the serene arms of tranquility, far away from the hustle - bustle and baffling city lights. This adventurous trip was a combination of fun-filled games and life skills activities which made learning experience richer, joyful and rewarding leaving kids wanting for more. Prohibiting the gadgets on this trip also reassured that this generation is still capable of living without electronic devices and the students savored the true nectar of adventure.

Students were so enthralled and enamored by this trip that they were reluctant to leave the resort. But as the saying goes that “All good things come to an end”, so did this jaunt with the learning of new skills and experiences.

All the students expressed a desire to revisit the place again. Indeed it was a great trip for all the students and teachers, as it strengthened the bond between the students and their teachers. As it is rightly said, “Collect moments, not things” these experiences will certainly be nurtured for a lifetime.

It was a sound and safe return trip.

IDL Session in MYP 1

   ‘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. A small case file was shared with students and looking at the image of the bones of the skeleton students could gauge all the targeted aspects of the dead namely gender, age, and reason ...
