FROM THE DESK OF THE MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATIVE

O n Friday 28th March, I attended a

workshop “ Listening to Shakespeare”

conducted by Prof Jonathan Gil Harris

organised by Ashoka University for

introducing students to liberal learning, along

with our IBDP 1 students and our English

teacher Mr Fred Machage.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616), “ THE

BARD OF AVON” is one of the finest English playwrights

and poets in history. His stories and plays attract the audience

and readers even today not because his plots were extraordinary

but because of his language, his play with words, his imagery

and his fascinating characters that display various shades of

human emotions. Indeed Shakespeare, the great had an in depth

knowledge of human behaviour and psychology.

Shakespeare lived in the Elizabethan Age (Renaissance

Period). He has written about 154 Sonnets (14 lined

poems) and many highly successful plays. Some of his

famous plays are Hamlet, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet,

Macbeth (considered as one of his darkest and most

powerful tragedies), Othello, Merchant of Venice and so

on.

There is a kind of phobia in children to read Shakespeare‟s

language as it is not in modern English. This myth / bubble

was busted by Prof. Harris successfully when he analysed and explained the Shakespearean

language. Our students thoroughly enjoyed this new learning experience and interacted

enthusiastically.

GEARING UP FOR GRADE 5 EXHIBITION!!!

P reparations for grade 5 Exhibition are well

underway. For students this is the highlight of

their school journey and a culmination of all the

skills and concepts they have learned over their years in

the PYP.

This year the students are planning their Exhibition

under the PYP trans-disciplinary theme of How We

Express Ourselves. This involves an inquiry into the

ways in which we discover and express ideas, feelings,

nature, culture, beliefs and values, the ways in which we

reflect on, extend and enjoy our creativity and our

appreciation of the aesthetic.

Students are currently on the look out for "What

Matters" to them and are collecting ideas for what they

may want to investigate during Exhibition.

Over a period of 6-7 weeks the students will be taking

full ownership of their learning and inquire into global issues that are relevant in today‟s

world. They will write questions, cite interesting quotes, draw pictures, create poems etc and

present their learning to parents and the wider community.

The Exhibition is indeed an impressive feat for our Grade 5 students!
