| Math | In the last two weeks, we learned about infographics and how to make them on paper and online using different infographic sites.We also started with our formative assessment for which we went to the library and researched a global issue affecting the world . We made Power point presentations on the data collected and converted them into an infographic. Now we have to present our presentations in the class for peer evaluation. We also learned how the graphs can be misleading and what all points should be kept in the mind while analyzing a graph. By: Aadil Kapoor MYP 2B |
| Language andLiterature | This week we started with blog writing wherein we read blogs on sustainability, which was followed by a discussion on how many countries in their own way are contributing to sustainable living.We further delved into how blogs can be used to create awareness and to promote the ideas for sustainable living.

| Individuals & Societies | In the past few weeks, we learned about the refugee crisis. Then we were assigned groups to research various case studies of refugee crises. It was an interesting way togain knowledge about the issues our world is facing currently. We learned about people’s experiences and their struggles in a refugee camp. We shared our learning through debates or MUN. It was a very unique experience. We gave our speeches and learned a lot from each other. |
| Science | Chemistry: This week we worked out valence electrons of the elements in each group of one specified period of the periodic table and identified the trend and correlation of the same. We worked out which element would lose, or gain electron based on the information of valence electrons. We did an activity where we made ionic bonds and subsequently ionic compounds with the cut-outs of different elements depicting their valence electrons. We also learned the diagrammatic representation of ionic compounds. By: Abeer Bagga MYP 2A Biology:We learned about three types of graphic organizers and strategies to write notes in an interesting manner. These strategies were ‘One Word Robin’ and ‘Think, pair, write and share’. We were also introduced to a new graphic organizer called ‘Clouds and Drops’. This was followed by an activity wherein we were assigned a page each and we had to pick our own title and key points from the textbook. We learned a strategy called ‘Writing Explanations’ in which we analyzed the handout on natural selection and evolution. We learned about Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection and recapped what we learned using the ‘Test Your Memory’ strategy. This helped us develop our thinking and reflection skills. By: Aarav Jindal -MYP 2A Physics:In the past week, we learned about various simple machines and how they make our work easier. We did an activity named ‘broken down car’ through which we understood the concept of mechanical advantage and how we calculate it. We learned about the simple machine levers and how the fulcrum influences its mechanical advantage. We did activity engineering problems in which we summarized the ways machines solve work problems using energy diagrams. By Aashray Agarwal- MYP 2B |
| Product Design | In the past two weeks, we researched Minimalistic Design, the role of Colour Theory and 2D layouts in a design .

| Language Acquisition | French: Over the last two weeks, we learned about weekend and leisure activities. We worked on task sheets based on activities wherein we had to write in French. In addition to this, we learned different expressions to describe our preferences. We also learned how to construct a question in French or how to answer a question. Later in the week we were given a task to frame questions in different forms (intonation, est-ce que and inversion). By- Raj Levi MYP 2C Hindi:Last week we did many dictations in the form of paragraphs and spellings so we could enhance our writing skills and spellings. Then we had group discussions on our daily life and what we all do on weekends and weekdays. This helped us to understand our unit better which is ‘Weekend and leisure activities’. We read a poem and answered the questions that followed. We also had a debate on an interesting topic ‘Do we need weekends to remain happy’, all the students shared their understanding on this topic. This week, we started with letter writing and the three types of letters. By:Armaan Mittal MYP 2 C Capable:Over the last two weeks, we moved onto the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)adopted by the United Nations. Each one of us prepared a PPT on our assigned SDG, for our first formative assessment. We were each assigned one of the SDG’s from SDG 1 to SDG 7. This was for the first time that we made and presented a presentation. It was challenging for us as it was hard to type in Hindi, using Google Input and finding videos, statistics and pictures. The vocabulary was also another challenge for us. We have started presenting our PPTs, and we look forward to doing more presentations like these. By:Zoya Gupta MYP2C Spanish: Phase 1: Over the past two weeks, we learned to express our likes and dislikes through blog writing. We focused on our writing style and conventions this week. We also appeared for our formative assessment based on Criterion B. By:Pragyan Anand MYP 2A Phase 2: In the past weeks, we learned past tense and practiced the same through worksheet. We practiced criteria B for our upcoming formative assessment. |
| Physical and Health Education (PHE) | We practiced a variety of drills specific to the selected role in cricket.We were also shown a variety of game scenarios to show the various positions and how roles and teams function in batting, bowling and fielding.Furthermore, we learned the basic grip-bowling from the coil position to introduce the bowling action to the beginners. |
| Drama | We played theatre games related to concentration and focus in pairs, one person was a leader and the other was the follower. We worked on developing our communication skills. We started improvising on the idea of breaking the ‘Fourth wall’ in theatre; how it is done and implemented. By: MYP 2A Rudra Jolly |
| Music | We are following a flipped classroom approach for the ongoing formative assessment in music. For this assessment, we were required to choose an African instrument and conduct research on its origin, purpose, appearance, sound, etc. Then we were asked to present our research in the class and resolve any queries that our peers had. To test if they understood the findings, we also had to ask them any three questions based on the information given out in the presentation. Through this assessment, we were able to enhance our research, presentation skills, and stimulate the transfer of knowledge. By: Aaradhya Jain MYP 2B |
