REPORT ON BAGLESS DAY, CLASS I
Date of the Event: 07/08/24
Venue: In the respective classrooms
Incharges: Class Teachers of Class I
Purpose: The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasizes on innovative and experiential learning methods and Bagless Day aligns perfectly with this vision. By promoting Bagless Day, NEP encourages schools to adopt creative approaches to education, moving beyond traditional classroom settings. At Bal Bharati Public School, the best school in Noida, we provide students with a unique opportunity to learn through hands-on activities, creativity and environmental awareness.
Highlights of the Event:
Playful Conversations:
Students engaged in a creative activity, crafting stick puppets from wooden spoons and using them to enact everyday conversations. By incorporating personal pronouns such as ‘I’, ‘you’ and ‘we’, they transformed simple dialogues into captivating performances. This fun activity blended grammar lessons, speaking practice, and play-based learning seamlessly, fostering a natural understanding and use of pronouns. By discussing topics related to themselves and their peers, students were able to meaningfully apply their understanding of pronouns in a stimulating context.
Clay Matras
To solidify their understanding of Hindi consonants (vyanjans) and vowel modifiers (matras), students participated in a hands-on classroom activity using clay. By sculpting the clay into various consonants and matras, they were able to enhance their comprehension through a tactile and creative learning experience. This interactive approach not only provided conceptual clarity but also improved their fine motor skills. By integrating learning with play, the activity provided a memorable and effective means of understanding matras and vyanjans, thus surpassing conventional teaching methods.
Shapes Exploration
Students explored the solid shapes provided in the Math Kit and accurately identified each shape by name. They were able to connect these shapes to everyday objects in their surroundings. The identified shapes included a cone, cylinder, cuboid, cube, and sphere. This hands-on activity enabled students to physically interact with the various dimensions of each shape, thereby deepening their comprehension of three-dimensional objects. They greatly appreciated the interactive nature of the lesson, which made learning geometry both engaging and enjoyable.
Celebrate and Create
Students created vivid drawings of their favourite festivals and adorned them with vibrant colours. They expressed their thoughts about their selected festivals in a few sentences. The activity commenced with a lively song, followed by a discussion on the diverse types of festivals celebrated in India. To conclude, a video showcasing festivals was presented in the class. This activity not only refined speaking skills but also nurtured cognitive development, stimulated creativity and enhanced motor skills. It offered a forum for children to cultivate self-assurance as they enthusiastically participated and relished sharing their personal experiences with their favourite festivals.
Conclusion: Bagless Day was a tremendous success, offering students a distinctive and engaging learning experience. Through creative endeavours, we fostered cognitive development, ignited imagination and elevated environmental consciousness, establishing a benchmark for future events
