Krishna's world

The last chapter 'Tolstoy Farm ' was started in 9E. I started the class by introducing them two extra reading materials related to the chapter. One is the collection of stories by Tolstoy and the other is the autobiography of Gandhiji.

  During this week I was able to introduce new works and discourses for the students. I introduced the world famous 'Utopia' by Thomas More to the children as an entry activity to the lesson 'Song of a Dream'. I felt difficulty in teaching Malayalam Medium students in English. So I found new ways to engage children and to make ideas clear. I asked small questions frequently so that they could remember the ideas. Then after each session I ask them to fill the blanks by providing sentences from the textbook. All these helped them to understand ideas clearly.This week I started the poem 'Song of a Dream' in 9th class and  'From a Railway Carriage'  in 8th class.

On 26/7/22 Tuesday, the Science Club of GHSS Chathannoor was inaugurated by an external faculty who is a well known magician. He performed various magical tricks which have connection to science. There was a science exhibition also accompanied by it.Many still models, working models and charts were displayed by students.

Observation visit by Geethu Miss.    On 21/7/22 I got an opportunity to conduct an external examination in 8G in relation to 'lunar day'for a scholarship administered by Byju's Application.It was a different experience.(  International Moon Day marks the anniversary of the first landing by humans on the Moon as part of the Apollo 11 lunar mission . The celebrations will also consider the achievements of all States in the exploration of the Moon and raise public awareness of sustainable Moon exploration and utilization.)

  Reading is good for you because it  improves your focus, memory, empathy, and communication skills . It can reduce stress, improve your mental health, and help you live longer. Reading also allows you to learn new things to help you succeed in your work and relationships. A programme related to the "vayana masacharanam" was conducted on 21/7/22 at Chathannoor School in which various programmes like poetry recitation, book reviews were presented by students. Also there was a speech by an external faculty on the importance of reading.

  Communicative English Class.(Interacting with students in English ) An important initiative of Communicative English Class  has begun under the leadership of B. Ed. Trainees KRISHNAJA R C  and ARDRA CHANDRAN  from 13/7/22 onwards. Teachers congratulated us for taking such an initiative and were very cooperative to us. During free periods we spent time to teach 8 standard students. It was not a class meant for teaching, rather it was meant for interaction and communication in English. We felt satisfied with student's response. They were ready to communicate in English. And we taught some common phrases for daily use as well as provided them situations to persform various roles.

  During the second week I had 3 classes in 9 E and 2 classes in 8A. 11/7/22 Monday, I cant forget this day in my life because the English teacher Indulekha made very good comments on my class. I gave weekend activities for the students and they did it very well in groups. I started giving them group wise stars and bad marks for their regularity in their works.

And made the classroom lively.The groups were : Charles Dickens Rabindra Nath Tagore William Shakespeare Geoffrey Chaucer Jane Austen  ^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^ Works done by 9 E students in relation to the chapter 'Maternity'. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Class observation visit by English option teacher Sri.
