D-Day Preparations and few last minute braggings...

Hi all,

Today was quite a bag of mixed emotions as we were fully occupied with prep work, displays,PPTs and rehearsals for tomorrow! yes. tomorrow is our EXHIBITION!
The day to showcase all our efforts,
the day filled with anxiety and happiness..
the day that shows us what we are capable of when others recognize,
the day of relief..
AND..
the last day at PYP - for the children will move to MSP now on!

 As for me, the mentor- it is the same kind of feeling like a mother bird who teaches the children to fly,then sits back and enjoys seeing them practicing and then the day comes for its time for the birds to take the real flight..
Ahhhh! Oh.. Boy.. Am I too philosophical or sober today!

Well letz come back to our topic.. So today children made final reflections and few displays picturising recycling process and statistics..

 Tomorrow I will post our d-day pics of the team! Wish us good luck people!

Our Logo !

We finally have our logo and we can proudly say it was completely designed by our students.

And thanks to Mr. Dinesh the web designer who helped us in refining it.

Peer Learning!

It is always nice to hear from people who had a similar experience just before we venture in to explore something new and it is a way of getting ourselves prepared before any big event. hence it happened -an interaction with the 6th graders- former PYPians who worked on exhibition.

It was nice having them share the opportunities and threats faced by them during exhibition and they also added tips on how to tackle and overcome such struggles.

Our kids did not forget to take note of the tips shared b y their seniors in the above shown GO.Good going 5th graders and a big thanks to 6th graders!

Fundraising for a Cause !

Yesterday was so much fun as we organized a fundraising to support our cause and to go ahead with our proposed action plan. As a team we worked collaboratively during planning and organizing and all our efforts paid well in terms of monetary returns and in the form of recognition and appreciation too.The kids were preparing for this day from long time back. They made a lot of craft  items like papier mache bowls, pen stands, wind chimes, quilled earrings, felt hair clips, decorated gift covers and so on.We also had a stall dedicated for food items like cakes, brownies, buttermilk, lemonade, kheer, sandwiches and other healthy homemade snacks. These all were brought by the children from home.

As we had our EYP PTM yesterday, parents had a chance to see the stalls and were excited when children explained the cause for fund-raising and were more than happy to buy the handmade products and  contribute a small share. MIS staff and students were no less and they did motivate and support us till the end of the day.On the whole,we had a pretty good sale and children were extremely happy and excited to sell the items which they made. It gave them a sense of fulfillment and a confidence that they can work professionally and also they were very happy to make a contribution for the good cause towards which the money is gonna be spent on.

As a a team we are proud to boast our success which demonstrates the use of our skills and abilities for a good cause.On behalf of the team, "Anti-Food Wastage", We would like to thank our Co-Ordinator for her motivating words and untiring support. As a mentor I would like to personally thank each and every parent who took the effort and time to provide us the materials for this fund raising.

Buddy learning

Buddy learning is known to promote inquiry and learning and we follow the best of practices and look forward to make learning an interesting and exciting experience.We not only indulge in inquiry but we do teach and share the findings of our inquiry!Our exhibitioners went onto share their knowledge in organic and recycled micro gardening.

Yes, when our kids were successful in growing plants in egg shells, they were more than happy to share their knowledge with UKG kids who are currently inquiring about plants in their UOI.

Recycling Machine Model

Another interesting day and yet another interesting work by grade 5 kids. They made a look-a-like model of the commercial recycling machine.

They actually did a great job working on it!
