Celebrating Experiential Learning: Theme Culminations at Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad

Solar System – Bringing Concepts to Life
As part of their learning, learners explored the inner and outer planets, stars, moons and satellites, asteroids, and comets through structured investigation files. Working in groups, they shared their findings with the class and engaged in interactive discussions, confidently asking questions and exchanging ideas.

On the final day, the classroom transformed into a vibrant model of the solar system. Each learner selected a planet, stood in the correct orbit around the Sun, shared key facts, and revolved to music—bringing the concept of planetary motion to life in an experiential and memorable way.

Uses of Everyday Materials – Exhibition (22nd January)
The theme “Uses of Everyday Materials” culminated in an engaging exhibition where learners showcased projects created using waste materials. The initiative encouraged creativity, sustainability, and practical application of learning.

The exhibition featured innovative creations such as flower vases, windmills, toys, stationery holders, garbage churners, tape dispensers, photo frames, and other useful and decorative objects. Each project reflected the learners’ understanding of reusing everyday materials responsibly.

Learners visited each other’s homerooms with excitement and curiosity, appreciating their peers’ work. They confidently explained their projects to classmates and teachers, strengthening their communication skills while reinforcing the importance of recycling and responsible resource use.

Both culminations highlighted experiential learning in Grade 1, fostering collaboration, creativity, confidence, and deeper conceptual understanding.
