"There is no difference between time and any of the three dimensions of space except that our consciousness moves along it." H.G. Wells
The students embarked on a literary journey through H.G. Wells- The Strange Man’s Arrival. They explored the difference between science fiction and fantasy, aided by a scene from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, where Roald Dahl envisioned a futuristic glass elevator. Through Wells's story, students also practised describing characters and situations with minimal action, enhancing their observational and descriptive skills. From Wells’s imaginative world, students journeyed back in time to view nature through William Wordsworth’s poetic eyes.
They connected with the poet’s vision of nature’s beauty, the serene sounds of birds, and the joyful harmony of all living things. In The Morning After, Wordsworth’s message encouraged them to embrace the positive outlook of nature.
A comprehensive poetry analysis in their English notebooks deepened their understanding and appreciation. Students delved into prepositions and article writing, focusing on the role of prepositions and practising the same in their daily conversation. We conducted an activity to revise and reinforce the subject matter.

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new" - Albert Einstein

The month of festivities started with huge excitement among the learners and the facilitators. In Physics, while learning about the concept of-"Electric Current and Its Effects" the learners understood, "How crucial is electricity?" as it forms the basis of many scientific principles and technologies in everyday life. They also learnt about circuits, heating, and magnetic effects generated by current flow, safety devices, and their application to real-world situations to avoid hazards. Various interactive and engaging discussions on various appliances and their construction sparked interest in learners and at the same time helped in developing scientific literacy and preparedness for future studies in science and technology.
In Chemistry, while learning about forests in the chapter-"Forests: Our Lifeline", earners participated in a nature walk in the school’s plantation areas, exploring the diverse range of plant species within this small space. This experience encouraged them to envision the vast, self-sustaining forests beyond the school grounds. They understood that forests are vital ecosystems that provide habitats for diverse species, fostering ecological relationships and biodiversity. Ongoing discussions about the crucial roles of forests in global processes, including water purification, helped students appreciate the interconnectedness of all species and the importance of preserving natural habitats.
At the same time, in biology, the chapter "Respiration in Organisms" highlighted the vital process of respiration for all living beings. Students connected this to health topics such as oxygen's importance, exercise's impact, and how lifestyle choices affect respiratory health. This study integrated concepts from biology, chemistry, and physics, illustrating how these subjects interrelate in understanding life processes. Learning about human respiration helped students develop a holistic view of biology and encouraged healthy habits and environmental awareness.
