In unit of inquiry students wrote the reflection of their last unit on buildings and structures. They inquired into the concept of archaeology by being archaeologists themselves. They had to dig out certain artefacts and think about them through the given questions example: - What do you think this might be? - How do you think it might have been used? - What material do you think is it made of? etc. Below are a few photographs of students in action:

In the past two weeks Maths has been explored in a variety of ways. Some photographs are added below:- In the photographs students are finding out what numbers are PALINDROMES and some are inquiring into number patterns by adding rows and columns of numbers. ............................................................................................................................................................. Students are making numbers with MAAN CARDS and are writing them according to international and Indian place value system. In the photograph below, students have been given a few numbers with which they are making 6-9 digit numbers and writing the place value.  In the photograph below students are contracting numbers and writing their place value.

We had gone on a field trip and the follwing questions can be kept in mind while reflecting on it. Where did we go? What were the unique things you noticed? What was your best memory for the day? A few important things that you learned in this field trip from Ms.Koula. We had gone to the science lab and the following questions may be kept in mind. What did you do ? Two things you understood through the experiments. Any question which arose during the experiments. 

The highlights of this week were the following: Students visited the science lab in seniour school in order to do some experiments on tension, compression and gravity. These experiments helped them to understand the concepts. The teachers in science lab Mr Sudipto Roy (Diploma program co-ordinator) and Ms Babita have been instrumental in making this session interesting and engaging. Below are some photographs of the science lab: In Maths, students practiced the operations of multiplication and division and they also made tsructures using different shapes and angles. They first made a blue-print of a structure last week and followed it up with construction: Apart from the above, students revised 2D and 3D shapes through myimaths website and they revised the features of different shapes. In English they were shown a silent movie for a couple of minutes and they had to continue the story, including more instances ad giving it a conclusion.
