Hello!
Here’s a report on the 39th TAS Municipal School Program.
Today we visited the municipal school no. 13 at Saraspur, 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 Lunar observation. They were particularly amazed to see craters that looked like bubbles. Along with school students and staff members, few construction site workers also observed the craters with curiosity.
The interactive session that followed, was completely and successfully conducted by one of the resource person Stephen Samuel. We consider this as great achievement.
The solar, aurora, moon and Saturn’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 Komal Barot, who asked further about the Aurora Borealis. Questions like – surface temp of the sun, first person to moon?, etc’ created some interesting debates. Some exceptionally bright students 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 must say that the school was clean, all students were in school uniform with identity card and were well behaved too. This school was given additional name "Anupam" (It means Unique).
We acknowledge the gracious support of the following people in making this program a success: Stephen Samuel for conducting show with full confidence, Jigar Darji for set up and Rajesh Nath for photo documentation. We thank them all for their interest.
