'The Human Brain.' Ms. Dawn Taylor


The session was all about the most important body part of humans - 'The Human Brain.' Ms. Dawn Taylor introduced the Growth Mindset concept to the students and delivered the message that 'Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to try just one more time.' She also shared a few amazing facts about the brain. Children were made aware of the fact that the brain works like a muscle. A video was shown to the learners to make them understand that it is not a problem to make mistakes rather we must learn from our mistakes and that is what is most important. She also checked the students for their comprehension by conducting a quiz based on today's session using the 'Kahoot App.' It was a very enriching session and the students participated actively.

"The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe".

To add wings to children’s imagination and their creative writing skills, students and teachers of CMS Rajajipuram1 attended a live webinar by the celebrated author Mr Ruskin Bond The session turned out to be an enriching experience, especially for all aspiring writers as Mr Bond gave practical and useful tips on how to write intriguing stories.

In a session of about 35 minutes, the legendary author suggested on various aspects of storytelling, like how to choose the characters in a story and describe their appearance, how to use your surroundings as the backdrop, how important are the title and the cover page to the story and how an inapt title can almost kill an interesting story. He also emphasised on using simple vocabulary in the stories instead of designer vocabulary. He suggested the young writers can start with Short Stories.

Children loved listening to their beloved writer and admired his quick wit and subtle sense of humour.

RUSKIN-BOND-SESSION

The children of the Junior and Senior Section were very fortunate to be selected to participate in an experimental video conference of Generation Global where the students joined through the ZOOM from their homes. The other two schools were Linguistic Gymnasium, Ukraine and Colegio International Camino a La Cima, Columbia. The topic was Essentials of Dialogue, Faith, Values and Communities.

The children deliberated on what they are proud about their communities and what they would like to change. Next the children spoke about the qualities that are essential in these times during Corona. Our children were confident and eloquent. They also used the Chat function to communicate with each other. It was a very good experience which the children enjoyed.
