Learners were taken to the ground for a Nature walk to investigate clues (eaten leaf,feathers,ant hill,droppings or tracks).They collected leaves eaten by the insects and pasted them in their notebooks and also spotted a hole which was habitat for the ants also a comb like structure which was a home of wasps.It was super fun learning while looking for the clues around.No droppings or tracks could be spotted as we were in the school premises and school doesn't have animals around.
Plant pop activity was conducted to learn about the parts of the plant in the most yummiest way. Candy (Lollipop), muffin baking cups, cut out of leaf and brown paper were used for the activity. Muffin cup depicted a flower and brown paper depicted roots. The best hands on way to retain and recapitulated the parts of the plant.
Activity of counting the blocks of different colours was conducted as it helps to lay foundation for understanding one to one correspondence in tables. It is important for learners to work with concrete objects before moving on to tabulation of it in the blocks which is a method of recording observation.
Students were taken to the ground and herbal garden to observe plants growing in different habitats like against a wall,shady place,dry pathway,under something,in plant pot,on the walls and in the cracks too.
Students learnt about the meaning of the word 'biggest' and 'smallest' by picking up the shapes of different sizes as told by the teacher.Using a see, touch, and say approach by showing objects of different sizes and asking children to identify them as small,big or biggest helped them to grasp the concept easily.
