International Peace Day

‘Peace is something you cannot wish for. It is something you make’. On 21 of September  the world celebrated ‘Peace day’. On that occasion we saw a video on how did the Peace Day start and who initiated it. We also wrote peace messages , thoughts and slogans to give it to the United Nations (UN) peace makers who will be coming to our school next week. We will be celebrating the ‘ Joy of giving week’ where we will  give gifts to the students of the village schools. 

Spread peace , love each other and be happy.

Literacy Week

Literacy week has been a week of expressing ourselves in different ways. There were various fun activities planned throughout the week.

Through the week we explored facts about North Africa, Korea, Japan, India and read folk tales from around the world. We also made a collage, book jackets and dressed up as characters from different stories. We also celebrated Hindi week and had some interesting special assemblies with various Hindi performances.  I think that the best part was when an illustrator came in to show his drawings and sketches in a comic book. Next time, as a part of the literacy week, I would also like to go on a treasure hunt around the school.

I am quite sad that it only lasted a week and not forever. We had a very exciting week with lots of fun and activities and I would love to do it again. 

Celebrating Roald Dahl's birthday during the Literacy Week

Roald Dahl was born on 13^th September, 1916. I like Roald Dahl’s books because they are funny and sweet. The characters are whacky, disgusting, or funny. On his birthday, I remember him and read some parts of his books that I own. Today I finished one of his books called ‘The Twits’. When I got to know that it was Roald Dahl’s birthday I thought it was the perfect day to read The Twits. I was really happy to know that I finished a Roald Dahl book on Roald Dahl’s very own birthday! Some books of his are: Charlie and the Chocolate factory, James and the Giant peach, Matilda, The Twits, The witches, The BFG, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Esio Trot.

Samosa Activity

Samosa Activity

In class we played a game called ‘Samosa’. The rules of the game are:

<!--[if !supportLists]-->·  Choose a multiplication table and whenever a multiple of the number approaches, say ‘samosa’. (e.g.: Table of 2: 1, SAMOSA, since 2 is a multiple of 2)

<!--[if !supportLists]-->·    If you call out the multiple and forget to replace it with ‘samosa’ or take a long time to say samosa or the number, you are out. We use this game to learn our multiples. We can also use it to learn divisibility rules. We can skip count using this too. In my opinion this is a very educative game and it helps us revise multiplication tables in a fun way. This is why I like the Samosa game.
