They attempted to spot the rhyming words and the sound words in the poem. Their learning was taken forward when they observed their surroundings and mentioned more sound words associated with nature. Besides the word work, comprehension questions were also done by them. They were also introduced to Similes. They were shown A Dragon Poem and A Fruit Poem as examplars. In grammar, students learnt about Contractions and Suffixes. They practiced few exercises in their notebooks and workbooks. Hindiकक्षा तीन के छात्रों को मुहावरों का परिचय देते हुए उनका प्रयोग समझाया गया। उन्होंने यह जाना कि मुहावरों के प्रयोग से भाषा का रूप ही बदल जाता है और श्रोता को प्रभावशाली प्रतीत होती है। छात्रों को मुहावरों के अर्थ लिखवाए गए । उन्हें पर्ची पर लिखे मुहावरों से मूक अभिनय करवाया गया। एक शब्द के कई नाम होते हैं, इसकी जानकारी देते हुए उन्हें पर्यायवाची शब्दों से परिचित करवाया गया । छात्रों को भिन्न -भिन्न चित्र दिखाते हुए उनके पर्यायवाची शब्द भी लिखवाए गए। उन्हें त्योहारों के महत्व की जानकारी देते हुए कविता पाठ करवाया गया तथा उनके प्रिय त्योहार पर शुभकामना पत्र बनवाए गए। छात्रों को चित्रों के माध्यम से त्योहारों के विषय में बताया गया । उन्होंने यह जाना कि सभी त्योहार प्रेम और भाईचरे का संदेश देते हैं। MathematicsStudents strengthened their expertise in long division sums and attempted word problems on the same. They were introduced to fractions using Jodo Gyan fraction kit and Jodo cubes. Students prior knowledge on fractions was assessed as a group activity in class. They also learnt about the types of fractions, ordering and comparing like fractions. As part of the Math Science and Visual art integration week, students understood that the subjects are not stand-alone, but transdisciplinary. A whole lot of activities were planned and the students participated with enthusiasm. The students of Grade 3 had their first Parent walk-in which was showcased as an exhibition based on the subject integration week, where the confident communicators shared their learning in these three subjects. They also revised for their UT2 and attempted the assessment with gusto. Science“The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.” With this great belief, the students experimented in several Science projects based on water. Implementing this in their project they prepared ‘self-watering Terrariums’ and noted their observations. They learnt about water buoyancy and experimented floating and sinking objects in water. In their daily class routine, they kept a record of sunny, cloudy, rainy, and snowy days in their notebooks. During the Science, Math and Art Integration week, they enjoyed observing the flow of water from one beaker to another in science lab (colour chromatography), optical inversion of image in water. The month of November was filled with experiments related to Water. Social ScienceStudents learnt about the important inventions in the field of communication. They also studied about mass communication, its role and function in the field of education and entertainment. Students understood the difference between the meaning of Globe and Map. They played a game in class as a group to understand the four cardinal directions.

They recorded the difference between these two types of environment in their notebooks. ICTStudents learnt about the simple movements of sprite in Scratch application. They also explored the event block, sound block, control block and various other blocks and learnt how to change the appearance of the sprite and add sound etc. RoboticsUNIT TOPIC: ENERGY TRANSFORMATION Activity 4: Lights on Street Students explored about electric generator and turbine. They also explored the conversion of mechanical energy to electrical energy by creating a model of a street light based on this energy conversion. To build a street light, they used DC motor and LED to show the conversion. Activity 5: Maker Session (Smart City Challenge - D1) In this session, students recalled all the previous sessions and stated the energy conservation law. They were introduced to the problem statement of building a smart city based on their previous knowledge and energy transformation. They designed a 2D sketch of that smart city with few essential components in their model like building, park, windmill, solar panels, street lights etc. in the worksheet. Life SkillsStudents are making a booklet “Inside-out” which includes 5 to 6 pages. Students learnt about different emotions interlinked with each other, they also drew and coloured different emoji’s illustrating different emotions in the month of October.
