INTRODUCTION“Start each day with a positive thought and a grateful heart.” Roy T. Benett Dynamic December has been a month of celebrations and happiness all around. It is the time when students are in the mood for celebrations of Christmas and the New Year. It has been another month of learning new concepts with the maximum participation in different activities like intra and inter-school competitions, which not only honed their skills but also gave them a platform to showcase their talents. The universal theme ‘ I am Wise ’ proved to be an opportunity for the young minds which enabled them to imbibe the value of being wise and acting wise. The students happily narrated their personal experiences during the discussion time in the morning assembly sessions promising to be wise and thoughtful always. They shared their happiness by contributing beautifully to the project ‘The Joy of Giving’ where they thought selflessly about everyone and tried to make an effort to add happiness to others’ lives too. The dynamic Suncitizens displayed their ardour and passion by celebrating Christmas on a virtual platform. The students commenced their morning assemblies every day with beautiful thoughts and enriching words. They enjoyed reading the NIE and sharing numerous facts and regular updates about various competitions. MATHEMATICSDIRECT AND INVERSE PROPORTIONS With the help of discussion and question-answer method on different situations, recapitulation of ratio and proportions was done. Further, with the help of several real-life situations, the concept of direct and inverse proportions was introduced. In addition, problem sums on below real-life applications were discussed and done by students:
COMPARING QUANTITIES Based on their prior knowledge, students practiced some problems on percentages to excel in the topic to apply the concept regarding the following sub-topics:
Students were given some real-life problems and some case studies to understand the concept of the percentage change. In addition, they calculated the percentage decrease/increase in income and expenses respectively. In addition, students used the concept of percentage change to understand the actual meaning of “DISCOUNT/PROFIT/LOSS” and applied the concept in real-life situations. SCIENCEBiology: Reproduction in Animals: The month commenced with the learning about reproduction in animals and the revision of ‘Cell- Structure and Function’. With the help of diagrams, videos and pictures, the students acquired knowledge about the fertilization process and the various stages of the development of the embryo. They also learnt that in some animals the fertilization is external like frogs & fish. They studied the process of development in them. For the science unit test, the students solved and discussed the revision sheet and an online quiz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH1SJpg0DU8 Physics:- LEARNING BY DOING & EXPERIMENTATION LIGHT: - The lesson began with checking the prior knowledge of students about the topic –‘ Sources and Propagation of Light’ followed by a round of some open-ended questions. With the help of animations and PowerPoint presentations, basic terms related to the reflection of light were discussed and explained. Activity: Students were asked to stand in front of the mirror and to note their observations for the following:
Chemistry:- Learners were introduced to a new topic, ‘Combustion and Flame’ through a prior knowledge check via Venn Diagram on Combustion and Burning. They learnt about combustible and non-combustible substances through a hands-on activity. They tried to burn different materials like matchsticks, a small piece of cloth, an iron nail, glass, paper and a steel spoon to identify the combustible and non-combustible materials. They recorded their observations in the observation table as: Material Combustible /Non-combustible Matchsticks Cloth Iron nail Glass Paper Steel spoon To understand that oxygen is necessary for combustion, they all placed a burning candle on a steel plate and covered it with a transparent glass tumbler. They observed that the candle stopped burning as the supply of oxygen was cut off by the inverted glass tumbler. Further, to get an idea of the term ‘Ignition Temperature’, they placed an aluminum foil at the base of the candle flame and above the melted wax. They observed that the candle flame gets extinguished after some time because burning does not take place below its ignition temperature.

They were also explained the roles of Pro-Changers and No Changers after the Non-Cooperation Movement. Breakout Rooms were created where students were given one topic to research within ten minutes. Each team honed their research skills and explained about the Simon Commission, the Launch of the Civil Disobedience Movement and Round Table Conferences to the whole class. Class Notebook was used to explain the Quit India Movement and Indian Revolutionary Activities during the freedom struggle. A quick check was done via the chat box wherein the students shared their views on the proposals mentioned in the plan. In the end, some clippings on the partition of India were shown to explain the tragic separation of India and Pakistan based on Two Nation Theory. Civics:- Marginalized Groups and Social Inequalities Students were shown a video which was followed by a discussion and explanation about Marginalisation, Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribes, and other backward classes. They also discussed minorities, marginalization, inequality, and poverty.

ENGLISH“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.” -Arthur C. Clarke The learners continued to develop their understanding of the concept ‘Adverbs’ with an interactive session where how the adverbs are used in different sentences was observed by the students. The learners found it more interesting and absorbed the concept well. Keeping in mind Bloom’s Taxonomy, they were able to APPLY the use of Adverbs and IDENTIFY them in their day to day conversation. Other sub-topics such as the position of adverbs, adverb clauses were explained with the help of a presentation followed by the discussion of textbook exercises. The students were given an enrichment exercise for extra practice. They were assigned an individual project of making a ‘First Aid Guide’ using adverbs on optional platforms such as Wakelet, Canva, Sway etc. for an impressive presentation of their work. “Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world” -Robert McKee The concept of story narration and completion was recapitulated with the help of a game- ‘Story Web’ in which the beginning line of a story was given to the students and they weaved the story forward keeping in mind its basic elements. The concept was further explained with the help of a presentation in which samples of stories were discussed. After that, the students were given a task to build their story keeping in mind a specific moral. The learners enthusiastically presented their storyboards on various digital platforms and integrated their work creatively with art. “…Away from the world and its toils and its cares, I’ve a snug little kingdom up four pair of stairs…..” -William Makepeace Thackeray The students enjoyed the theme of the importance of a collection of old memorabilia while reading a beautiful poem ‘Cane Bottom’d Chair’ by William Makepeace. They improved their Comprehension Skills by interpreting the poem along with the identification of poetic devices, rhyming schemes etc. They enhanced their understanding by attempting the question answers along with the critical appreciation of the poem in their notebooks. The emphasis was on understanding the Reference to Context questions.
