Hello!
Here’s a report on the 41st TAS Municipal School Program.
Today we visited the municipal school no. 1 at Jahangirpur, Ahmedabad.
As usual, we were accorded a warm welcome by the students and the authorities excitedly awaiting the program. The school was just opposite to, once biggest hospital of Asia “The Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad”.
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. Teachers were also interested in taking notes from the posters.
The program started with ‘Lunar’ observation. They were particularly amazed to see craters on the moon. They wanted to observe again and again. During the interactive session that followed, nearly all the 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 –temperature of the sun, first Indian to space, etc’ created some interesting debates. Some exceptionally bright students like Vishruti Prajapati answered my questions with amazing clarity and was awarded prize 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: the school staff for discipline, Jigar & Stephen for set up and Urvi Vyas for photo documentation. We thank them all for their interest.
