"Materials Do Matter"

We are continuing to inquire into our unit on "How the World Works" focussing on Materials and Matter. Students have been researching the properties of different materials using varied resources like websites and resource books from the class library. They have learnt a lot of new vocabulary during this unit. They have also watched videos about the states of matter and on properties of materials. They have presented their research using different mediums such as powerpoint and paper presentations depending on their choice. Students experimented with different materials if they 'Sink or Float'.













Ridhi got some information to share about a mark on the crimp of the toothpaste. Her action to share her learning of something new is really appreciative.

In Maths lessons, we tried solving multiplication problems using 'Box Method'. But this time instead of using paper, book or whiteboard we used another resource, can you guess what it is????????

"YES, IT WAS ON THE FLOOR"

Have a look at their pictures :) :) 






In English, we had special sessions by Ms Juleen (Master teacher of English). She introduced 6+1 traits of writing which will be continued in classes collaborating with Ms Robin in the future lessons. She used varied sources in order to begin the writing workshop. 









With all of these, we had a great week!

Field Trip

Last week, Grade 3 students and teachers went for a field trip to Charminar, Nizam's Museum, Chowmahalla Palace and Salar Jung Museum. Please find the pictures of the field trip below:


































































Students enjoyed watching the rich 'Heritage of Hyderabad' during their field trip. They enhanced their understanding about their unit of inquiry by observing and inquiring about the different places we visited. This field trip also helped us a lot to reflect on the topics we have been discussing in the classroom. Further it is also going to help us in researching more about the bazaars of Hyderabad.
