  Happenings Half-term (May, June, July 2014)

The first three months of this term has been pretty action packed. Hobby idea led us to explore aero-modelling and horse riding with interesting essays and visits and discussions. We talked about WW I fighter planes, the Wright brothers and Amelia Earhart. We reviewed the famous Biggles series by Capt. W.E. Johns and watched dogfigts on youtube.

Then we met the last of the stalwarts – grandparents galore – who regaled use with their life and times.

Trekking to Karnala fort helped us discover forts, their uses and all about Shivaji, the “Habshees” and more.

And the Mangroves of Mumbai was a journey into surviving green spaces of our city, the varieties of mangroves and their uses.

We rounded this off with visual recollections of these experiences. Here are some of the drawings by the children of the class. Compare these to the actual photos. PLEASE NOTE: THE CHILDREN DREW SPONTANEOUSLY FROM MEMORY WITH NO ADULT ASSISTANCE
