06-02-2009, Program at Muni School - 7, Ellisbridge, Ahmedabad






Hello!
Here’s a report on the 23rd TAS Municipal School Program.
Today we visited the municipal school no. 7 at Ellisbridge, Ahmedabad.
As usual, we were accorded a warm welcome by the students and the authorities excitedly awaiting the program.

The poster display was set up for the students to explore the mysteries of the solar system at their own pace. And we watched them peruse the information and discuss the same with their friends.

The program started with observation of Venus. They were particularly amazed to see Venus in less than half phase. During the interactive session that followed, the International Space Station and Sunita William’s slides fascinated them all. Another wonderful thing that gave us tremendous satisfaction is that the teachers too got into the spirit of things and participated wholeheartedly in the question – answer sessions that interspersed the presentation! Especially Trushaben Pathak. Questions like ‘who was first Indian to go to space?’ created some interesting debates. Some exceptionally bright students like Mohan Dabhi and Gopal Solanki answered my questions with amazing clarity and were awarded prizes at the end of the presentation. Both, the teachers and students, were especially keen to have us come again to give them a deeper understanding.

We acknowledge the gracious support of the following people in making this program a success: Principal Jyotiben, Jigar Darji, Stephen Samuel & Urvi Vyas. We thank them all for their interest.
