Creative & Experimental Activities:-
Learning Gets a New Meaning
GD Goenka Public School Lucknow conducts creative and experimental activities to impart knowledge to students. Science is a blend of historically accumulated knowledge and skills. Starting from a very young age, students initiate thinking about the world around them. They formulate questions and subsequently employ observations and evidence to address them. Students typically generate intelligent, intriguing, and testable questions that they enthusiastically pose. As educators, our focus should be on cultivating these questions and, in turn, fostering innate curiosity about the world. With this notion in mind, GD Goenka Public School conducted experimental activities on August 11, 2023.
Classes Toddlers to Nursery students engaged in the process of making curd. Teachers elucidated the curd-making process through a live demonstration in the classroom. Kindergarten students designed their personal food trucks by crafting collages depicting their favourite foods.
Grade 1 learners completed a worksheet centered on healthy foods, accompanied by teachers sharing intriguing food facts through a PowerPoint presentation. Grade 2 students relished a Zero Waste Party, crafting beautiful envelopes from old newspapers to serve as invitations. The students creatively embellished these envelopes, which they then exchanged with their peers, illustrating the concept of repurposing newspapers as guest invitations.
These activities imparted valuable lessons to the young Goenkans, fostering greater observance and inquisitiveness. They acquired the skills of formulating questions, exploring novel avenues for research, and devising innovative methods to address inquiries or solve problems.
