ICE BREAKING ACTIVITIES-PRIMARY

“You’re off to great places, today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. Get on your way.”

-Dr. Seuss

A school is a small family for the students, who leave their family being their only comfort zone. The journey of calling by their nicknames to identifying them as an entirely different name starts at school. Their crying, their sobbing, their feeling of being around new faces, all begin here in the school. They also get to meet new friends and teachers. 

The environment for them changes, but they also grow as an individual in this process. The first day of the session brings new hope both for students and teachers. To make the first day of their new academic year interesting and interactive, DPSG Sushant Lok's primary wing planned their ice-breaking activities for their students. It had various student-friendly and interactive activities for tiny tots like sharing a picture, freeze games, Simon says, Jump in and out. The kids introduced and talked about themselves, their peers, and their interests. The classes also had activities like tongue twisters, riddles on shapes, selfie projects and games like bingo. They also made a responsibility chart and time capsule. Whereas interactive games like Marooned and Figure me out were also played. 

The best part about all the activities was that they were all done on the Virtual Platform. Thus, the use of various online tools was also evident.

नई उमंग लेकर नदियां भी बहती जाए,

शीत ऋतु भी छूमंतर हो जाए,
जब बसंत अपने रंग-बिरंगे रंग दिखाएं।।

"Great stories happen to those who can tell them."

The story has a unique impact on our lives. It helps us to develop an understanding and respect for other cultures. If we sincerely believe that our children are the future, we must tell them stories. We teachers knowingly and unknowingly are storytellers. So, we DPSG SUSHANT LOK encourage these types of activities among children. The teacher told them a story and our nursery children visualized  it with their imagination. 

‘The world belongs to those who read’

 Newspaper reading enhances skills in reading, writing, listening, speaking, math, social studies. Critical thinking is that the natural outgrowth of employing a newspaper to find out. The newspaper expands the curriculum with a vast amount of data to use as the background for learning activities. These reading activities help learners to improve their skills in reading and writing. These skills are among those they are going to practice: the way to find the most ideal, the way to increase vocabulary, the way to compare readings, the way to form sentences, how to ask an honest question, and the way to write down an excellent summary. Keeping the aim to motivate learners to improve their English reading skills, creativity, and original thinking ‘Newspaper Reading Activity’ was organized on 4th February 2021 for the students of grade III. The growing newsreaders read the main headlines, entertainment news, city news, sports news, weather report, and world news. The objective of the activity was to encourage children to improve their reading skills and enhance general awareness. It also gave them the texture of the planet of media and journalism. All learners read the different sections of the newspaper with confidence. Learners were also encouraged to read a newspaper daily to enhance their knowledge of various subjects and develop their reading skills.

An activity to understand the concept of perimeter was done in Grade IV. The students made various shapes using thread. They measured the thread with scale and then made the figures which helped them to understand the concept better. It challenged them to use mathematical skills in new and creative ways. Let's have a glimpse of the wonderful work of our children.

“A dream does not become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.”

DPSG  has introduced Citizenship curriculum in the foundation domain and the approach of learning is - how to engage pupils in regular lessons and activities within and beyond the classroom that include opportunities for active citizenship

• To inspire and train the students to be responsible and able citizens.

• To deliver the content to build the SKILLS required to be responsible citizens.

• To achieve an augmented awareness of global social issues through a Citizenship Studies Curriculum and a series of experiential, engaging and fun loaded activities and become global citizens 

Three main guidelines:

• Citizenship Studies based on the educating the students of the necessary information regarding the country’s history, geography and politics, the concept of Equality, Freedom and Human Rights, Roles and Responsibilities

• Citizenship Studies through the participation and experiences in the school and the locality.

• Citizenship Studies to provide the necessary tools, abilities, competences and values to the students, which will allow them to actively participate in the responsibilities they will face in the adult life.

Strategies to be used to implement and deliver it will be: 

• Active: emphasis on learning by doing- story enactments, cultural activities involving special days, national days, festivals, singing the National Anthem

• Interactive: uses discussion and debate on social issue videos, stories, news items, TED Talks etc

• Critical: encourages young people to think for themselves- through expressions in Art, Poetry, Songs, story narration

• Living Citizenship values; Special weeks- Honesty, Respect, Kindness, Compassion, responsibility; Courage, Environmental care, empathy etc. and Special Days: Independence Day, Republic Day etc.

• Field Trips and Engagement with community workers to understand their issues and problems 

• Case Studies, Creating Social Awareness through: Blogs, articles, through social Media 

• Addressing Adolescent Issues: skills needed to be effective in relationships, nature and consequences of racism, teasing, bullying and aggressive behavior and how to respond to them and ask for help.

Who would have thought that teaching – learning will take over the screen rather than the boundaries of the schools? The outbreak of Corona pandemic has made some unparalleled changes in our lives. As the nation went into lockdown, we at DPSG, SUSHANT LOK unlocked our creativity to teach and learn like never before. With the invincible spirit, we initiated the online teaching in the month of March. Keeping the holistic development of our students in mind, our teachers took the charge and started navigating the uncertain challenges of online teaching with bravery.

After a good research and brainstorming sessions, DPSG society decided to use “MICROSOFT TEAM” as a tool for blended learning in our schools. The rigorous training sessions and continuous support from the management, all the teachers become fluent and compatible with it. Teachers at DPSG, are using various tools like virtual whiteboard, video lessons, presentations, Sways and other reference material to make their sessions interesting and effective. Sessions are also being recorded and made available to the students for their future reference.

To review the understanding and progress of the students, various tools lie Kahoot, Padlets, crosswords, Answer garden etc. are being used regularly during the online sessions. After every “Unit of Inquiry” an online assessment is conducted through Microsoft Forms. To develop 21^st century skills and competencies among our learners, we provide them opportunity to get involved in research work. They are motivated to explore and find answers to some essential questions. It allows Students to become accountable for their own learning.

In conclusion, we believe that Blended Learning refers to the approach of education that combines traditional face – to – face classroom methods with online educational materials. It facilitates a community of inquiry and keep students engaged in the active learning.
