"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." — Benjamin Franklin
It was a week of vibrant exploration and inspired learning for the curious minds of Grade IV, who immersed themselves in a series of interdisciplinary activities that blended creativity, critical thinking, and hands-on engagement.
In their Science class, students ventured into the fascinating realm of insectivorous plants. Through model-making, they brought to life the Venus flytrap and the pitcher plant—nature’s ingenious hunters. These unique species, which thrive in nutrient-poor soil by trapping and digesting insects, sparked curiosity among the children. The creative process of building models not only made learning interactive and enjoyable but also deepened their understanding of plant adaptations and survival strategies.
Meanwhile, the world of Mathematics came alive through a matchstick-based activity on geometric sequences. Students explored how patterns grow by a fixed percentage, linking mathematical theory to real-life applications such as population growth and financial investments. By constructing sequences using matchsticks, abstract concepts were translated into tangible learning moments. The activity honed their analytical skills while instilling a love for logical reasoning and mathematical patterns.
Language learning took a creative turn in Hindi class, where students explored Paryayvachi Shabd (synonyms). With an approach that combined function and artistry, they journeyed from basic synonym pairs to more complex vocabulary. This engaging session enhanced not only their language skills but also their critical thinking and presentation abilities. Students embraced language as a powerful tool of expression—an inclusive and evolving art form shaped by thought and imagination.
Throughout the week, every classroom buzzed with energy, curiosity, and joy. These thoughtfully designed activities aligned seamlessly with the principles of experiential learning, ensuring that knowledge wasn’t just taught, but truly understood and remembered.
Such integrated learning experiences continue to nurture well-rounded learners who are equipped not just with facts, but with the ability to think, create, and adapt in an ever-changing world.
