Explaining the Milkyway
Students playing in front of heap of discarded furniture
Hello!
Here’s a report on the 36th TAS Municipal School Program.
Today we visited the Hindi municipal school no. 5 at Rajpur, Ahmedabad.
As usual, we were expecting a warm welcome by the students and the authorities but unfortunately there was lock on the gate. After calling one of the teachers, he replied that kids are called when it’s dark. We got shock. We asked him to come immediately and to call all students who stay nearby. The watchman came and opened the gate and he called some school children. They were students from 3rd to 10th standard.
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 magical Venus. They were particularly amazed to see the phase of Venus. During the interactive session that followed, nearly all the slides fascinated them all. Instead of routine interactive session, we carried out simple information session as, they were no knowing much about the subject. Still some exceptionally bright students like Chetan Diama of 7th standard and Ashish Bharwad of 10th standard 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: Mr Dave the watchman, Jigar Darji & Ravi Gamit for set up and Urvi Vyas for photo documentation. We thank them all for their interest.
