6th week of teaching practice

After the annual day everybody was in a hangover. The stall was still there in the school. During the substitution periods we played a pass and pause game. The children performed their talents. They sang song, some of them danced and some even acted. There was a PTA meeting this Wednesday afternoon. I collected the notebooks to check. One of the parents met me and we had a brief talk about Chaithra, my student.

This week I was teaching "The merchant of Venice" by William Shakespeare. It was a long chapter but so interesting.

5th week of teaching practice

I took a physical education class in this week. I took the class about yoga in 6.G and also taught two simple yoga poses for the children.

1) Crescent moon pose (Urdhva Hastasana)- Crescent Moon pose deeply stretches and opens the sides of the body and improves core body strength, balance and concentration. Half moon strengthens the ankles and knees, improves circulation and energizes the entire body.

2) Chair pose (Utkadasana)- It is a strengthening and heat-building asana that brings all parts of your body together into a cohesive and powerful whole.

 

The second half of this week was filled with enthusiasm, energy  happiness and festivity. The school annual day was conducted on 12th and 13th of January. The school was getting ready for the programme and everybody was in a rush. There were different music being played every nook and corner of the school and practice for the cultural programmes were going on seriously. There were students dancing and practicing for the annual day in a side.

 

The title of the annual day was "Jubilium". We were all very busy during the annual day. We visited many classrooms and helped many of the teams to get ready for the programmes. We helped them with their makeups and costumes and we even helped them with the choreography. It was a wonderful experience. A small canteen stall was installed for the refreshments only for the annual day. Along with the children we also bought some ice cream.

 

 

 

4th week of teaching practise

After a short break from our first phase teaching practice, we went back to the school today. We took a break because of our exams and then came the Christmas holidays. Our staff room had been changed to a 7th standard classroom but we were given another staff room instead. Our new staff room was near the IT lab. My children welcomed me with such pleasure that I became overwhelmed. They were all happy to welcome me back and I was happy to go back too.

I introduced a new unit in this week, "Share and care".  The first chapter was a Prose by E. V. Lucas- "The school for sympathy".
