When learning is fun and easy

FUN SHOW: Students of Brindavan Vidyalaya participating in the display board competition in Tiruchi.

TIRUCHI: Working on display boards was a fun-filled experience for both teachers and students of Brindavan Vidyalaya in the city when both worked hand-in-hand for the ‘classroom display board competition’.

Beginning from the Montessori– class basket – which focussed on making the children have a sense of belonging, the ‘alphabet holders’ help the students to improve their hand, eye coordination through sensory methods while using them on the class board.

The three-dimensional displays on the board with clay were exemplary. It explained a story with different scenes on the same board. UKG’s display taught when to use ‘a’ and ‘an’ before any word.

‘Sources and uses of water’ was presented by class I and the main focus of this board was to make children aware of the different colours of water in different forms.

In ‘Weather Bear wardrobe’ by class II, teachers concentrated on making the students dress up the teddy bear on the board according to the weather conditions which helped children understand the type of clothes worn in different seasons.

‘Homework Jolly’ by class III was another centre of attraction that helped children to complete their homeworks on time in order to get rewards from teachers.

Class IV’s ‘Life cycle of a frog’ brought a feel of the underwater into the classroom. It contained a three-dimensional image of the life cycle of a frog and floating and fixed plants.

Class V’s ‘Nymsville’ was a mini town that had different types of residential colonies, i.e., Homo ‘nym’ drive, syno ‘nym’ lane and anto ‘nym’ road etc.

Class VI s ‘Integers: what’s your name worth?’ enabled students to learn the positive and negative numbers in a funny way by finding the value of their own name following the instructions on the numerical ruler that carried all the alphabets.

Class VII’s ‘World observance day’ is to improve the GK of the students. Class VIII’s “Spin a tale’ was aimed to help the students in brushing up their creative writings – three wheels that could be rotated on the board to get the situation, personality and place of their write-up.

Classes IX and X’s ‘Electricity’, one of the most difficult topics in Physics, was made easier when students themselves worked on the board in which two types of circuits were set up. The first one _ series circuit _ explained the disadvantages of power interruption. The second one was parallel circuit which rectified the disadvantages of series circuit.

Most of the boards will be used throughout the year and some are based on the current topics of the syllabus. The main objective of the displays is to make teaching and learning more informative and interactive.

Class X and Class III bagged the first prize for the display. The second place went to class II and the third prize to class IV.
