Grade 2 started their Academic year with the Unit of Inquiry-“Relationships are enhanced by learning and understanding other people’s perspective and communicating our own,” The Unit falls under the transdicsiplinary theme “WHO WE ARE”
In this Unit, corresponding to the Line Of Inquiry-Acknowledging other’s perspective, the children enacted on the story “Six blind men & the Elephant.”
In the story, six blind men (not seen an elephant before) happen to touch & feel an elephant. All of them have different perception of the elephant, as each one of them happens to touch different part of the elephant (Tusk, Trunk, Leg, Belly, Ear & Tail). They start arguing until a wise man interrupts & resolves the conflict.
The dramatization was done in the class with a dummy toy elephant as
well as a child playing the character of an elephant. The first time, the children enacted with the dialogues/script with them. The next time it was without the script & with a little spontaneity. The children realized how the blind men in the story would have felt, when they enacted the story with a blind fold on their eyes.
The dramatization of the story helps the children to understand the essence of the story in an easy way. Through this activity, it was discussed that “Different people have different perspectives, understanding other’s perspective helps to resolve conflicts.”

M kids were studying in your school, but recently i shifted them to other. M very happy wid services and staff of school also ma kids were happy.
but then learnt kids of uneducated parents and those who have criminal cases are also studying.
This is really upsetting to know a brand like fountain involves with this nasty things.!!
Please look into this matter.
I don't agree with Vinayakas point completely. In other schools also you may have children of uneducated parents.
SO whats big deal? Should uneducated people not get a right to have their child educated. Should they not get good exposure with better students. Learning is an activity which children do the best they communicate better . School is like a mini society, wherein children also learn how to behave,and all that This is learnt naturally and unknowingly and very easily....The first thing school teaches to be reasonable and good citizens then learn and choose the best suited profession....
