| Science | Physics Last week, we learned about various types of forces: contact and non-contact force. We did a Tug of War activity through which we learned about balanced and unbalanced forces. We saw that when the string was not moving on either side, a balanced force was acting on it. We attempted some questions on calculating the net force of an object when various forces are acting on it. We also learned that force is a vector quantity. Videos were shown to demonstrate the deformation caused in objects due to the application of force, through which we designed an investigation cycle. By: Rishabh Iyer Kochhar- MYP 1C Biology/Chemistry We were introduced to the concept of neutralization through a video discussing how acids and bases neutralize each other when mixed. We learned many applications of neutralization in real life. We reinforced our understanding of acids, bases, and neutralization through a self- reflection activity. Then we inquired how do buildings corrode and how oceans get acidified. Further, we learned about acid rain and discussed its causes. By: Atiksh Verma MYP 1D |
| Individuals & societies | In the past week, we continued learning about diversities and other unit related terminologies through activities like making comic strips and role-play. We saw a video on stereotyping and wrote our reflection of the same. We watched a presentation where we saw how people are breaking stereotypes to achieve great heights in life. We are now taking the Formative Assessment for which we are creating a poster on diversity and its impact. By: Aryaa Tiwari MYP 1C |
| Math | We first learned about number patterns and how to derive rules to find unknown values from the number pattern. We later attempted a peer assessment on the same. Further, we explored different algebraic terms. It was followed by a discussion on like and unlike terms and how to simplify equations by clubbing them together. To strengthen our knowledge of algebra, we attempted word problems which also helped us understand substitution of variables. We also learned how to apply number properties in case of variables. The week came to an end with solving equations by using inverse operation rules. By: Saanvi Suri MYP 1B |
| Language acquisition | French During this week, we covered expressions with verbs Faire and Jouer. We learned about contracted articles through task sheets and interactive activities like Unjumble the Tumble and Find the Verb. Also, we learned the vocabulary of French activities and sports using audio-visual resources. These links aided us in pronouncing the French words and accents. Moreover, we learned how to talk about our likes and dislikes in French. By: Yash Veer Pratap Banga MYP 1D Spanish During the past two weeks, we learned how to talk about sports using verbs Jugar and Practicar. We also learned some new expressions related to free time activities. On Read Aloud Day, we read an interesting story to brush up our reading skills in Spanish. In the last class, we practised the conjugation of verbs like Gustar and Encantar to talk about our likes and dislikes. By: Subah Goyal MYP IB Hindi In the past two weeks, we delved deeper into our unit Weekend and leisure activities. In this unit, we have done a reading and speaking task on what a leisure activity is, followed by a writing task. We used Audio-visual stories to enhance our reading and speaking skills.

| Visual Art | We were introduced to our second unit Nature Morte through a group discussion on still life and its elements. We inquired into some famous still life artists and observed their artwork to critically analyse them. We also sketched some simple objects kept on our tables to understand the proportions and symmetry better. We are now taking the formative assessment. We chose three objects to arrange them into a composition to study them with pencils and a medium of our choice, following the given checklist. By: Kanav Agarwal MYP 1B |
| Product Design | Over the last two weeks, we were introduced to our new unit Wooden Manipulatives and presented with a real-life design problem. We followed criterion A of the design cycle to inquire and analyse the problem. We were asked to make a mind-map to organize our inquiry questions. We also interviewed our clients as a part of the primary research and wrote some guiding questions to conduct secondary research. By: Aakarshan Rai MYP ID |
| Theatre | We brainstormed on our prior knowledge about street plays. In our groups, we improvised to create a short street play. We reflected on each other’s performance to identify elements of a street play. |
| Dance | We learned a dance routine which used steps from the dance form of Garba and modern techniques. We also did a group activity in the format of a game consisting of two rounds: self-composition and revising the dance routine learned before. By: Reeya Gokulgandhi MYP IA |
