Everybody wanted to answer
Hello!
Here’s a report on the 34th TAS Municipal School Program.
Today we visited the municipal school no. 1 at Rakhial, Ahmedabad.
As usual, we were accorded a warm welcome by the students and the authorities excitedly awaiting the program. Today’s attendance was highest till date.
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 a common looking star in phase. During the interactive session that followed, the solar flare, aurora, saturn’s ring 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!
Questions like – what is sunspot, what is the height of Mount Everest, how many classical planets are there?’ created some interesting debates. Some exceptionally bright students like Ansari Nawazahmed and Ansari Saifalam answered my questions with amazing clarity and were awarded prizes at the end of the presentation. Two girl students were also answering nicely but could not reach to final round were, Rajpur Arshiyairam, Sheikh Uzmakhatun. 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: Jigar Darji & Ravi Gamit for nice set up and Rajesh Nath for photo documentation. We thank them all for their interest.
Due to acrid atmosphere and school building at road junction, I had to raise my voice to highest level even in allergic condition due to pollen. And as a result, I lost my voice by the end of program L
