Monthly Activities
"Learning is not attained by chance.
It must be sought for with ardor and attended with diligence."
We at DPS Vapi ensure that our students are familiarized with innovations in learning that give them clear perceptions and let them choose what they appreciate and wish to learn from these happenings. The actual aim of the subject-related activities is to inculcate a sense of sportsmanship, leadership, team spirit, and meticulousness.
Our students participated in the attainment of knowledge in Mathematics by making a mask of animals using a line of symmetry. The students of Class 5 practiced different geometrical shapes like triangles, squares, semicircles, circles, etc. Isometric Dot Grid paper is a great resource for helping learners to draw and visualize 2D and 3D shapes. This is a perfect way to help kids understand the relationships between 2D and 3D shapes and how to represent them on paper. The two different systems of numeration International & Indian both were introduced using charts and by playing the dice place value game.
Experimenting with Science is always fun. Students of class III were encouraged to make animals using their thumbs and fingers. It creates Magic with fingers as finger painting develops children's fine motor skills. Class IV students understood that Pulleys are simple machines that have one or more wheels over which a rope is looped. Students were encouraged to make a model of the pulley. The students of class V were involved in making a paper dog and studying the super senses of the most active animal -a dog. Class VI took the initiative of growing sprouts- and exploring the exact process of germination of seeds. The students of class VII learnt the method of growing bread molds (Fungi)and analyzing its existence. The clear observation of the permanent slide of Rhizopus under the microscope was also recorded.
Social Science On account of World Heritage Day, students prepared various models of different monuments of India as well as the world and a small exhibition was conducted where students of class 3- 5, visited and got to know more about the heritage sites and understood their importance. The students also shared the need to protect these monuments with the changing time. Social Science was also made simpler through some practical demonstrations.
Languages like Hindi, English, Gujarati, etc. always play a vital role in any curriculum, and also how we or others perceive the world. Linguistic development help students assimilate new concepts and influence one unknowingly. When students listen, read, speak, or write they boost their communicative and writing skills. Multiple LSRW activities like recitation, artistic creations, fun with grammar by reading newspapers, and admiring nature were designed, in order to appreciate the genres of the language. This also aids to enhance their dialectal which explicitly will help our students in improving and learning the language within their subject area.
Subject-oriented activities held in the month of June were well designed to infuse fun into learning, boost students’ confidence and enhance their ability to think critically.
