Galaxy Treasures

The monthly theme for October-November was Galaxy Treasures.

This included activities related to space. Children enjoyed making their own galaxies in small water bottles. They experienced Star Gazing and were enthralled to see how beautiful the moon looks. They could see the Saturn rings in real, which usually are only available to see in the books and remain imaginary.

In the Sun Dial activity they saw how the shadow of the sun moves throughout the day and marked timings on their Sun Dial to make their own clock.

Further to the experience with the Sun, children saw a demo of Solar Cooker. They were briefed about the construction and use of a solar cooker. They then got to make their own Solar cookers using simple material such as shoe box, tinted black paper, silver foil and a wrap paper.

Lastly children got to experience the experiments of refraction of light with a prism and crystallization of sugar and salt using sunlight.
