Second Day of അവനിജ

All the group events took place today. Everyone was not so much into the competition until they saw the score board. Now everyone is into it and is focused on getting ahead in the score board. We, the 2nd group was behind first group by just two points. Though we couldn't participate in mime, we compensated for it by getting the first place for Thiruvathira. The most competitive item was the group dance and we got the second place.






Event clashes and lack of time, forced me to give my place to another student for the skit. Albin brother added a few changes to the skit and gave a social theme to it. Each performer outperformed the other. No one could tell the skit was put together just an hour before the show. We won the skit competition.
Most of us waited till the end to find the scores. The winners doesn't matter but the first runners up do matter. We are the first runners up. The kalathilakam and kalapratibhas were from our team. Aby, Varsha and Aparna won these titles.
Today all the hostelites had to go home, so once I returned I was busy packing.

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...
