April began with a series of interactive ice-breaking activities. Students were then encouraged to observe their surroundings during a Nature Walk, where they experienced firsthand the differences between living and non-living things. Using audio-visual aids such as PowerPoint presentations, videos, and images, they learned to differentiate features of living and non-living things, including respiration, growth, movement, and reproduction.The class also conducted a germination activity, where students enthusiastically participated in a hands-on experience that demonstrated how living things grow, whereas non-living things do not. Additionally, students explored the structure of their own bodies, learning about cells (the basic units of life), tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms. This study included learning about the positions and functions of various organs, which strengthened their understanding and provided clarity on these concepts.

SOCIAL SCIENCE

Effortlessly and firmly taking the next step of their lives , our students graduated to Grade III. With never-ending enthusiasm, they introduced themselves. We then together started our research on how humans evolved. They were shown the pictures of the weapons that the Early Humans used and tried to connect their lives and difficulties. They learnt about the life of Early Humans by using a variety of strategies and teaching methodologies. It was incredible to see their surprise and excitement as they compared modern and early human life. The Discovery of fire was eventful for which they were excited to see the videos and understand the it. As said by Maria Montessori, ‘The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence.’ To improve our children’s creative and cognitive skills, students along with the teacher learnt to build a raft and understood the ancient forms of transport on the way! To enhance their learning about the Early Humans our learners created and crafted a raft with twigs of branches/ bamboo sticks and understood how exciting and difficult it must have been for Early Humans to build this. Also they learned the role of farming in the early humans lives which further took them towards the civilized way of settlements and discovering the wheel and Potter's wheel which gradually changed and made their life easy. To recapitulate their learning students attempted a worksheet also. Our enthusiastic Suncitizens further explored the theme ‘My World’. As an introduction to the topic, the class observed and discovered the map of India which revealed their next topic - ‘Our Country’. Using the map maker tool students located their country’s location on the world map. Further learning about India, students developed a sense of patriotism and a desire to serve their country as they learnt about the national symbols of India. To conclude the topic, the children revised their learnings through a game of Match and Pair. Deep diving into the learning about Indian States and Union Territories, students were explained the need to divide the country into states and Union Territories and the role of Central and State governments in the functioning of a country.

ENGLISH

In our linguistic journey through Grade 3, each month has been a vibrant chapter in the story of language discovery. Our young wordsmiths began with the "Sound Collector" poem, harmonizing with the delightful world of onomatopoeia. Conjunctions served as linguistic bridges, connecting ideas in a seamless dance of expression. Crafting informal letters became an art form, allowing personal sentiments to blossom on paper.
The exploration continued with the strategic use of Prepositions as guiding stars in our sentences. "Treasure Island" became our literary vessel, navigating us through thrilling tales and expanding our comprehension horizons. Spelling took the spotlight as we conquered '-ing' and '-ed' suffixes in Unit 9, and danced through Unit 10, mastering '-g', 'ge', and '-dge'.
In the pursuit of mastery, students diligently undertook revision worksheets, preparing for the challenge of Unit Test 2. Grade 3 unfolds as a symphony of words, and we eagerly anticipate the next movement in this thrilling linguistic adventure.

SERENE SEPTEMBER

ENGLISH​

​In September, our educational journey was filled with exciting activities. The first week started with an assessment to reinforce our understanding of adjectives and their degrees of comparison. In the second week, we continued our exploration of adjectives and also delved into palindromes. Week three was all about storytelling and reading "Treasure Island," while the final week included discussions on "Staying Healthy," spelling practice, and a creative poster-making activity. We're looking forward to the adventures that October will bring!

​SCIENCE

The month began with an introduction to and understanding of plants, as well as the various parts of plants. Students reviewed their knowledge of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and their functions. Our young learners also conducted an experiment on germination to observe the different stages of this process and recorded their observations. The concept became clearer through diagrams illustrating the shoot system and root system of a plant. To enhance their understanding, students were taken on a nature walk where they had the opportunity to observe different types of roots, leaves, and stems in nature.
They further delved into the topic of soil, where they learned about various soil types. Age-appropriate videos, PowerPoint presentations, and interactive sharing sessions were used as teaching methods to facilitate learning. To expand their knowledge, students collected samples of different types of soil and presented their findings in class presentations. Students also engaged in discussions about the importance of soil for plants, animals, and human beings.


​SOCIAL SCIENCE

The students embarked on the journey of another most important and basic need of human life which is FOOD. Food is one of the most important needs of a human being learners were asked about their experience on the journey of food and how important it is for them.
Different pictures of food items were shown to the learners and they had to identify them and put them under a category which learners thoroughly enjoyed as this is something they experience every day. After the activity of identification learners were challenged with the question of the need for variety of food in our lives.
The learners were also be taken on a 1 km market walk of ASIA’s largest spice market KHAORI BAWLI through a virtual tour and see how the heaps of spices are sold in gunny bags. They saw and realised where their spices came from? And they could recall their previous knowledge about Delhi being a tourist attraction.
After the virtual tour of the spice market, the question of the History of spices was raised and it became a mandate to understand the historical perspective of the spice trade and its effect, in relation to the colonisation of Asia. This was done with the help of an interesting video.
A concept that is very well known but we don’t pay attention to it that is ways of cooking different food items so a recap was done by asking learners to identify with the help of pictures names of different ways of cooking and which one is the healthiest. Learners were introduced to the concept of diversity by giving them a home task and finding out about their native food item and they could bring the food to the class and share their thoughts on it which learners thoroughly enjoyed with lots of learning.
As a recap activity, different food groups were asked of learners and then the concept of a balanced diet was introduced with the help of a food pyramid. The chapter concluded with the poster-making activity on SDG 12 on Zero Food Wastage also briefing the learners about the RASHTRIYA POSHAN MAAH.
The chapter concluded by making learners aware of the transportation of food, what places they get their food from, and how long it takes.
