Greetings to all.

It is a pleasure for us to keep you updated with the happenings in school. We would appreciate if you could also communicate to us on a weekly basis.

UOI- We introduced your child to the circulatory system by making them to record their breaths per minute after performing various activities like running, jumping, jogging, etc.   during the course of these activities they realized the position of the heart and the connection between the heart and the lungs.  This was followed by learning the structure of the heart.  A model of the heart was also shown in the class.  Your child was also taught a rap song to help him learn the functioning of the heart.  Please listen to him/her sing it out….it is really fun. 

English:  This week emphasizes was laid on comprehension.  The children were taken to the black stage area, where on open air the children discussed and wrote a comprehension on Shipwreck.  The children also completed another comprehension on digestive system.  An assessment in the form of dictation was done.

We also had the Junior School elocution competition, where Lizan, Zubin, Sredha, Gopika, Anya, Krishnan performed very well.  

Maths:  Continuing with the number system, your child learnt to read and write 9-digit numbers both in the Indian and International system.  They also learnt the place value and face values of 9-digit numbers.  This was followed by learning the ascending and descending order.  The weekly Maths assignments will be given on every Friday.  Kindly ensure that your child completes the same and submits it on the following Monday. 

On Friday, the children had a trip to Ananthapuri Hospital.  Please talk to your child and ask his/her reflections about it. 


In the coming week, we have the English story telling competition.
