CAS Activity of Grade VII

We all went to Vivekananda Vidhyalaya. We plan to teach them different activities that they could learn and be active children. The difference between us and them with regard to privileges is uncountable, but their IQ was amazing. We all were really proud of them that they knew a lot without any proper education and resources but there were few problems that we faced, such as communication problems. Since the children only knew Hindi, so we found it hard to communicate with them. We were able to teach them many subjects like maths, English, science, social studies, speaking etc.

During this visit personally, I have learnt how to place myself in their shoes and feel. I understood their problems and tried to solve them. In next visit I will try to be more interactive and help them in their speaking skills and all of this will help them to be great people - Meshita Advani

I went to Vivakanada Vidhyla school as part of CAS activity. The children there were, enthusiastic when my friend and I   were teaching. I guess they didn’t feel like rich or poor, studying in a small school and not from a big school, because they We're so friendly, open and also shared their ideas without any hesitation. The classrooms were a bit congested and hard to move in. After visiting this school I have realized that I have connected with them somewhere. For the next time (visit) I have decided to encourage, help and to teach the knowledge I have learnt  and collected In my life. I shall show them a better future - Shriya 

 Today we had a CAS activity. We went to a school called Vivekananda Vidyalaya School. I taught them math they were very happy to see us when we went to their school. The class I taught was grade 3. The students in the class were nice and quiet; they were attentive and could answer every question. They had more knowledge than I expected. Their school was smaller than ours because they had only till class 7. Even though, the school was small the knowledge they had was almost the knowledge we had when we were their age. They answer all the sums in seconds; I had to teach them in Hindi since they knew only a bit of English. At first when I started teaching them or to interact was tough, then slowly they started listening, answering and also having fun. I planned to teach them Maths and interact with them and I believe I have achieved it. I also was satisfied with the way I taught them. After this trip, the next time when I will go for this kind of activity I will teach them different subjects and even play a game related to the subject - Sanjula. 

Today we went to Vivekananda Vidhyalaya for a CAS project and I am very excited to share my experience with you. It was quite different from our Oakridge International School, we have to speak in English in all classes but in Vivekananda school they can talk in any language they want and another example is they only have till 7th class but in Oakridge they have till 12th class.

I am very happy to say that I didn’t face any problem. Easily I managed them and they were equally reactive. I planned to conduct an art competition and I conducted it very nicely. They all can draw and color nicely. I want to go again to Vivekananda School. Finally I enjoyed the whole visit -  Geetanjali

    

We went to Vivkakanda Vidhalaya. We wanted to help them and teach them a new thing or anything what they did not know. We initiated the communication, was little hard because the language which they speak, we don’t understand it and the language which we speak they are not able to pick-up. They don’t have many activities. They were very cooperative with us, I had a great time with them and I want to visit the school again, to encourage them and bridge this communication gap - Meghana
