Literary Fest 2020-21

 The members of the union 'Ekayana' conducted the arts fest for the academic year 2020-21. The literary event 'താമ്രപത്ര' was held on 29th April 2021. The arts fest was on 30th and 31st of April 2021.

All the teams made sure that they had at least one participant from their teams. The literary fest was for one day. the events ranged from poetry writing to collage competition. I had given my name only for 'English Short Story Writing Competition'. Creative writing was never my forte but due to lack of participants, I decided to give my name. 

The whole day was devoted for group dance practice. Group song and skit were the other group events that I had volunteered for. Other than the WhatsApp groups for these events there hasn't been any other progress. As far as the group dance is concerned, we are still deciding on the songs. Till now all seven of the dancers has never come together for even one practice. When one comes the other disappears,

The theme for short story competition was 'That Journey was Interrupted by a Disaster'. I couldn't settle on a concrete storyline but somehow managed to cook up a story within the given time. Varsha chechi from our group secured the first place. Out of the blue, at 2.10 pm Caran and me were pushed to participate in the collage competition which was to be held at 2.15 pm. We just had a bunch of 'Vanitha' magazines, newspapers and glue. We even had to borrow the chart paper from the other group. The topic was 'Deforestation'.  I did the sketch and Caran found the pieces for each color from the magazine. I took my time to stick the pieces while Caran was quick. Anyhow we managed to almost complete the collage in time. The other teams did a great job. But to our surprise we secured the second place.

The day turned out to be great and we ended with holi celebrations.

Prime Numbers in Nature

 Prime numbers are one of the easiest concepts to understand and learn in Maths. But some of the complex problems in Maths belong to this branch. Never would have imagined an application of prime numbers in nature. Thanks to the book 'Weird Maths: At The Edge of Infinity and Beyond' which introduced me to this along with other weird applications of Maths. There's a particular species type of cicadas found in the US called the Magicicada or the 'periodical cicadas' who stay in their larva for 13 or 17 years. Imagine staying inside for over a decade with no connection to the outside world and coming out in the year 2021. People wearing masks walking all around you, smartphones, oh, the shock!🤯 It is the primality of these numbers which interest the mathematicians. The reasons are quite interesting. As the lifecycle of the prey changes, the population cycle (pattern in the population for a period of time) of their predators also vary due to the change in the availabil...

Week 5 @ St Goretti's HSS

 8th August 2022 We are back at St Goretti's after a short weekend. Today, Joju sir visited us for class observation and gave us instructions on how to control mass answering in class. Also, we are supposed to complete all our portions by this week, so that teachers can conduct revisions for the students for the Onam exam. As usual, I had classes at 8D and 9C 10th August 2022 Tuesday was a holiday due to Muharram. Today I taught multiplication of surds using the constructivist model. I was worried about its execution but the class went quite smoothly. At 8D, I'm almost done with the portions and I'll be conducting the achievement test on Friday. 11th August 2022 Today, we were given the responsibility of conducting the Independence Day programs at the school on the 15th of August. The teachers at the school gave some ideas on what the programs could be and suggested names of the students who would be apt for each program. We had planned 7 programs in total and 14 of us were...

Week 4@ St Goretti's HSS

1st August 2022  We are back to St. Gorett's for week 4 of INTENSE TEACHING PRACTICE. Today Benedict sir and Joju visited us. Joju sir observed some of our classes while benedict sir checked our records and gave us necessary corrections. Those who were free guided Joju sir to the classes that were to be observed. Later, Joju sir shared some of the common mistakes we tend to make while teaching.     4th August 2022  We had an unexpected holiday for 2 days due to heavy rains. These holidays will further delay the portion completion. We were asked to complete all our Lesson Plans by 15th August, which seems to be farfetched with these unanticipated breaks. Today Deepthi ma'am had come for observation. As usual, I had classes at 9C and 8D. 5th August 2022 We made plans to conduct extra classes for students of 8B,8C,8D,9B,9C and 9D on Saturday to complete the portions. Also, I utilized my free period to observe Sr Jeena's class at 8D. I've previously observed Sr Jeena's...
