Another exciting Mufti Day! 'Favourite Famous Personality Day' focussed on celebrating World Theatre Day and appreciating the talented actors, theatre artists and singers of the world. A collection of personalities young and old, popular and distictive were showcased by students. PYP teachers, in their characteristic sporting and risk taking styles, performed the roles of their chosen personalities!

Mufti Day - Compliment's Day

Mufti Day - Compliment's day: Taking a break from their routines, students dressed in red, white and pink and spent some time appreciating and complimenting each other in their classrooms, enveloping each child with a warm and fuzzy feeling. Together, every little contribution of Rs. 10 added up to Rs 3515, and will go towards fulfilling Indus' commitments of community service.

Student Initiated Action

A grade 5 students James and Alex created a sign and pasted it on the water cooler asking people to not waste paper cups. This self initiated action was a result of their observations around the water cooler that moved them to take ACTION. We applaud our students for taking the time to remind students to care!

Another Weekly ACTION Meeting at PYP Indus

Our second guest speaker intrigued PYP students with his approach and caused them to pause and think. Mr Vairavan showed students some images of everyday poverty and elicited deeper reflections from them. His sharing of personal sacrifices of small treats was eye opening for students, who were able to envision themselves doing the same.

Many students spent their snack break imbibing attitudes of caring from Indus' very own icons of ACTION.

What's new at ACTION weekly meetings? Guest speakers!!!

There's something new happening at our weekly PYP ACTION meetings!

This term, we are inviting guest speakers to speak about their community involvement endeavours - their reasons, experiences and learning, to broaden the horizons of our young students and to inculcate a lasting caring for the underprivileged as well the environment.

We flag off this phase with our first guest speaker - Ms. Yasmine Claire - a passionate animal activist. At a time in our lives when we have but 1411 tigers left in India, we welcome her to educate and inspire our ACTION members.

She spoke about caring for stray and destitute animals by alerting the right authorities, innoculating pets and spreading love for animals in our world.

Grade 4A Assembly on ACTION

Through their assembly, Grade 4A students aimed to educate PYP students about the form (what does it look like?) and function (how does it help?) of ACTION - one of the 5 essential elements of IB along with Knowledge, Concepts, Learner profile and Attitudes. Students also learned that PYP CAS has been renamed PYP ACTION. They showcased examples of ACTION initiated by students in PYP this year, such as Arunava's undertaking involving making and selling bookmarks with a message and Nolan, Alekya and Darshan's suggestion to recycle paper. They highlighted some of the ongoing community service engagements by the PYP ACTION group, for e.g. - Kallahalli food drive. Grade 4A students presented possible scenarios through role-plays where ACTION can be taken.
