Luminous Water Creatures

“Just as one candle lights another and can light thousands of other candles, so one heart illuminates another heart and can illuminate thousands of other hearts.”

- Leo Tolstoy.


Keeping these motivational lines in mind,the students of grade I D along with their enterprising teacher Ms. Asmita, decided to enlighten the knowledge of all the other fellow students  by inculcating the spirit of inquiry in them in order to enhance their skills of critical thinking and problem solving.

 

For this, the students were encouraged to conduct rigorous research with regards to various underwater animals and analyze their characteristics against the features of various luminous water animals. Cross curricular activities integrating Math, Art and English were implemented to understand mathematical operations, furbish their art skills and boost their language competence. The students multiplied the suction tubes of certain animals with the number of their legs, various water animals were created using origami to display their artistic skills and poems were created and recited to exhibit their linguistic skills.

The main attraction of the activity was to light up their creations using paper circuits, depicting luminous water animals.They also created  engaging augmented reality videos to enhance their sensory experiences.

Let us all plunge into watching the video below to gain reviews from the students and the  teacher herself, in order to get a better idea about their journey of creating luminous water animals using paper circuits and other integrated cross curricular activities.

      Everybody likes a good comeback story and this time we are back with a bang!   As truly said by Barack Obama, “ We remember, we rebuild and we come back stronger "   We are glad to let you know how strong we have grown. Opening the gambit with the vision to excel has been the trend for us Mayoorites. Hence this time, we came up with a different initiative to create magic with paper circuits. Let me introduce you to yet another unique interesting enterprise taken by our students along with their zealous teachers.                 ‘A Peek At Beaks’ - Fun With Popsicle Flashlights - Grade 3                                                                Paper circuits is an activity with simple, easily sourceable materials that engages learners with basic circuitry. The main idea behind the  ‘Paper Circuits’ activity was to instill innovation and creativity among the students. With an integrated approach in mind and a clea

Great Minds At Work

  In the words of John Mc Donald, “ There must be a positive and negative in everything in the universe in order to complete a circuit or circle, without which there would be no activity, no motion” Electric things are so much part of our lives!  Gaining a current understanding of how electricity works and what it does is vital life learning.  Our emerging and investigative engineers of grade 6 were immensely engaged in learning the same, through a few interactive projects based on circuits. .  Our budding engineers  learnt the basics of building a series and parallel circuits.  By  the end of the activity they gained immense practical knowledge on LEDs, batteries, resistors, switches, board wiring,and spin circuits. The main activity  was to learn about  the difference between the two (series has one path for the electricity to flow, whereas parallel has two or more paths).Students also had to be able to use their analytical skills to determine if the light bulbs would glow or not. If

Jubilating Innovation Week

  The famous philosopher rightly quoted “ The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but building on the new.“ To foster this idea an Innovation week was organised in Mayoor Private School.   It kicked off from 16th January to 20th January 2023. to boost creativity, innovation, leadership, entrepreneurship, marketing  advertising and entrepreneurship among the students. Students from kindergarten to grade 11 were given different activities to explore and execute. The activities included, jewellery making, photo frame making, bubble machine making, card board games, circuit games, games developed using coding on any platform, games developed using robotics, items like bookmarks, bags, cards, etc were made. Let’s take a look at the skills displayed by them during this process of making.
