Science Assembly by Mars class
On the 14th of December, Mars class held the science assembly which they had so creatively and innovatively prepared.
First of all, the thought for the day was shared: "Education is a possession that no one can take away."
Secondly, an interesting fact was read out: Did you know that the light from the sun takes only 8 minutes to reach the earth?
Finally, two students presented and explained how fire needs oxygen to burn, which they showed using two candles. One was covered with a bottle while the other one was left open. Which one would go out? Check out the pictures!
The second experiment showed how a balloon bursts if held over the flame of a candle. Guess what happens if you fill the balloon with water and hold it over the flame? Correct - nothing at all!

Deloitte Volunteers delight our children
On 27th of November, 60 employees
from the consulting firm Deloitte, which operates internationally, visited Koramangala.
They conducted a great variety of activities with the children. They planned an
art competition, board games, puzzles, crosswords, and group games. Children could win many prices
and were delighted to receive colouring materials.
It was amazing to see them try their best at naming all the states of India or guessing the smallest bone in the human body.
It was even more rewarding was to see the children draw and paint on themes like environment or their ambition for the future. All of them were extremely creative and motivated to create beautiful pieces of art in very little time!

Pluto visits Brain Museum
Students of Pluto class had the opportunity to visit NIMHANS Brain Museum on their science field trip. Various aspects of neuroscience, anatomy, and function of the brain were taught. The students were excited to explore the human brain by using preserved brains and skulls. Experiential learning is indeed very successful.
The students were taken on a guided tour through the museum where they observed various preserved brains with and without diseases. It was very informative.
