Euphoria Camp 2022

 14th March 2022 - 18th March 2022

This week we had our 5-day camp. Due to COVID restrictions, it was non-residential but we made the most of our situation. We were divided into three groups and they were named after KPAC Lalitha's movies to honour her memory. They were, Pavithram, Keli and Amaram. I belonged to the Amaram group led by Sukanya and Albin Brother.

On the first day, we had our inaugural ceremony followed by an ice-breaking session by Dr, Sibin Antony. It was fun and interactive. Group 1 had the complete responsibility to conduct the first-day program.

On the second day, we had two classes. The first class was by Reni Antony Sir who enlightened us on the several laws for children. Later we had a class by Vijay Vikramadithyan sir, SI  and former student of MTTC. It focused on drug abuse which was infused with anecdotes from Vijay sir's police career.

On the third day, we had a refreshing one day trip to Kuthiramalika and Veli. We were accompanied by Ancy ma'am and Maya ma'am.



On the fourth day, we had our cultural event and flashmob @ Bmart. I took part in the musical drama for the cultural event. We all had just discussed the theme and got on stage without any rehearsal. Long story short, it was a hot mess. After the cultural event, we all had lunch at college, 'Kappa and chutney' which were prepared and served by us. After that, we had a small procession to Bmart carrying placards with anti-war slogans. The flashmob went well and we were able to grab the attention of the public.

On the final day, we had a single class by Manoj sir who conducted a personality development class and focused on how to set goals in life. Later we had our feedback session followed by valedictory function. 

Coincidently, the last day of our camp is also the day of colors-Holi. So, we ended the day with color fest at the college gate.

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...

A New Phase

 This week marked the beginning of teaching practice. St Mary's, Pattom is the school assigned for me. It's going to be a great opportunity and experience for all of us.The internship was supposed to start on 5th January but it was delayed by a day due to an unexpected holiday.  6th Jan 2022, It was the first day of our internship and to be honest I was excited and nervous at the same time. I had the first hour at 9J1 which was utilised to show a video on 'Social Media and its Effects'. The video was shot and shown as a part of a government initiative to create awareness of the positive and negative effects of social media. I couldn't take a class, but I got to be the tech support for the teachers. This helped me get rid of that unnecessary stress. But I had another period at 9I1 and I used this period to get to know the students, their previous knowledge etc. and also brushed some of the previously taught topics. 7th Jan 2022, Today the second batch attended school...

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...
