Dear Parents,
The teachers have planned two major events for the students of Grades 1-9 to boost their learning outcomes and enhance their confidence levels in communication. I request you to support your child to participate in the Students Led Conference and STEAM Carnival.
1. Students-Led Conference
Grades 1-4: 3rd September
Grades 5-9: 24th September
Benefits:
- Develop confidence to communicate with people effectively
- Remove stage fright and improve articulation
- Reinforce learned concepts
Structure and Guidelines:
- Teaching is the best way to learn. Students will explain what they learnt in each topic in two months
- The students will be allotted topic/topics based on their preferences
- They can prepare properties or use a PowerPoint
- A rehearsal will be conducted beforehand
- Each student must bring 3-4 people (parents, guardians, neighbours or relatives)
- A set of 8-10 students along with their parents will be allotted an hourly slot and students should present to the audience.
- Each student will get a certificate and the top 3 presenters will get a prize later
- After each presentation, there will be a 2-3 minute Q & A session
- Parents can video record their child’s presentation
- Student Rapporteurs will be appointed to observe all the presentations and make a detailed report
2. STEAM Carnival (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics)
Grades 5-9: 5th November
Grades 1-4: 17th December
Benefits:
- Enhances scientific enquiry and opportunities to hone communication skills
- Build confidence to speak to an audience and remove stage fright
- Opportunities to learn by doing
Guidelines:
- Students are free to choose any working model in Science or Mathematics or create an Artwork with the help of teachers
- Students should start working on them from now during their free time at home
- Teachers will check their progress and offer necessary guidance
- A rehearsal will be done in November for which students should bring their working model/artwork to the school for a demonstration
