On May 15, 2019 grade 5 culminated their first Hindi theme - चिट्ठी का सफ़र | The unit was about the timeline of communication and the various modes of communication. It felt so good to see the students presenting their work in fluent Hindi with confidence. Students showcased flap books, timeline of communication etc. They also presented a role play about the journey of letter from post box to home. It was eye catching to see students dressed as postmen and postwomen.
One could not miss scrolling through all three stamp books which had an interesting collection of stamps dated as old as those during India's Independence era.
There was a post master stationed in his post office explaining about the types of letters. Students also showcased their final draft of the informal and formal letters in Hindi in all three sections.
Students in 5 Corbett also expressively recited Hindi dohas on communication explaining their meaning also.
While learning about Air transport during the theme I Love Transport, the children of Pre-Primary experienced meeting a Pilot who visited our school and the process of taking a flight. With a lot of excitement, the children asked the Pilot many questions they wondered about, such as “How do you fly the plane?” or “What happens when a bird hits the plane?” Along with answering their questions, the Pilot used a model of a plane and told the children the main parts of a plane and other things associated with flying, such as Air Traffic Control (ATC) and runway. He demonstrated how the plane takes-off and lands using the different wings.
For a more holistic learning, an Airport was set-up in KG corridors. The children chose a destination, filled their boarding passes, and made their own passports. They started the process by Checking-in and getting security tags on their bags. They then proceeded to Immigration counter and got their passports stamped. Thereafter, they reached the Security check where they got themselves as well as their bags scanned. They waited in the Boarding lounge, after which they boarded the flight. They experienced the inflight announcements, the safety demonstration and ordering their meals. The children had a truly enriching experience, with many aspiring to be Pilots.
