Age no bar...
Hello!
Here’s a report on the 40th TAS Municipal School Program.
Today we visited the municipal school no. 9 at Rajpur, Gomtipur, Ahmedabad.
As usual, we were accorded a warm welcome by the students and the authorities excitedly awaiting the program. The school was so deep inside a street that, we couldn’t find at first.
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 interactive session. Today we changed the sequence of program as, few residents were playing cricket inside the school premise. During the interactive session, the slides of different solar system bodies 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, the principal. Questions like – who was first person to go to moon, what are aurora?, 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. Then they were asked to observe the Moon through the telescope. They were particularly amazed to see craters. 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 & Stephen Samuel for set up and Urvi Vyas for photo documentation. We thank them all for their interest.
