| Science | Physics In the last week we discussed the topic of- ‘Density’, wherein the teacher demonstrated to the class, the mixing of liquids of different densities like glycerine, water and oil. It helped us to understand that intermolecular forces acting on the various states of matter depends on the difference in density of solids, liquids and gases. We also started to prepare models and investigation to show the relationship between density and volume as our formative assessment. Rutvik Roy, MYP 3C Chemistry We discussed the names of a few bases based on our prior knowledge and created a mind map of their properties. Post that we observed the samples of acids and bases to understand the terms- dilute and concentrated. A diagrammatic representation helped us to understand the terms- weak and strong. Next we discussed the need of indicators and identified samples of acid, base and neutral substance through a practical activity. Agastya Makkar, MYP 3A Biology We compared the digestive system of ruminants and non-ruminants and learned about the ruminant stomach its parts and function. We also watched the video on blood vessels to understand and compare the arteries, veins and capillaries. Advaith Pandalai, MYP 3B |
| Individual and Societies | In the past two weeks, we did various ATL based activities which enhanced our conceptual understanding of- ‘Colonialism’. We have been working on group presentation which requires us to do extensive research. For this, we had to first choose a colonial power and then one of its colonies. The research revolved around the economic, social, cultural and political impacts of colonialism on the colony. Arnaa Garg, MYP 3 A |

Moreover, we did an interesting ATL activity in which we guessed the name of a French shop along with its description.

We also discussed our homework sheets and learnt more about grammatical structures and expressions to describe our neighbourhood. Lastly, we appeared for a formative assessment on criterion B. Chirant Mukherjee, MYP 3A SPANISH Phase 1: This week we were given a visual and written text about a coastal town called ‘Sitges’ in Spain. We used both skimming and scanning technique to read the text which helped us to identify the basic fact and main idea of the text. We were also introduced to the directions and prepositions of place and were given a task to design the map of an imaginary city using directions. Akshat Aggarwal, MYP 3C Phase 2: During the past two weeks, we saw a YouTube video for asking and giving directions using different verbs and prepositions, later we constructed a few sentences on the same topic which helped us to improve our understanding of grammar. We also learnt a lot of vocabulary to talk about the problems of a city and verbs related to environment sustainability such as “reciclar” and “reducir” with the help of a presentation. Furthermore, we studied the usage and conjugation of conditional tense to express our wishes.
