Experiences, Exposure, Workshops,
and Interactions are all essential for learning .All these form an integral
part of the learning process at Pathways Middle School.
We have begun the IB Middle Year
Program in Grade 6 and 7 this year. This
focusses on the process of learning
and helps to develops essential skills
which lays a solid grounding for the Diploma in grade 11 & 12.
We were happy at the number of
parents who attended the Assessment
workshop.
They were apprised of
criterion referenced assessment in the Middle year Program. This approach helps
to determine whether each student has achieved specific skills or concepts and
provide feedback on how they can better these concepts and skills . Parents
participated actively with lots of enthusiasm which is an indicator of a successful workshop.
Eight Students from Middle school
also participated in the Mod Quiz which
is the Annual Quiz of Modern
School. Seven students from middle
school also appeared for Techathon –the annual technology competition held at
Aravalli. Two students, Deeksha Rajesh and Nakul Wadhawan won the First prize
in the event “animate your imagination”
where they used Flash Pro to create a storyboard.
Literary week began last week.
The theme is The Art of story telling. The students did various activities during
their English Lessons . Ms. Himani
Dalmia who is a writer and has written a novel ‘Life is perfect’ had a
very successful interaction with Grade 8 students.
Reading is an important skill
which is, without doubt, one of the most powerful and enjoyable recreational
and educational tools known to man.
Keeping this in mind a book fair has also been organised for two days
during this week.
Wide ranging activities as
mentioned are a reflection of our efforts to keep both students and staff
stimulated and enjoy the process of learning and growing.
