To
share the study of varieties of fruits found in India and Russia highlighting
the effect of climatic conditions on their growth, the nutrients found in them,
a skype session was conducted in Gwalior Glory High School with
Buturlinovskaya Secondary School 4 in Buturlinovka town, Russia. Students from
both the countries displayed bowls of tempting fruit salad made with fruits
found in their country. During the session, students of Gwalior Glory High
School introduced the students of Russia with the importance of Ayurveda and Yoga
through the characters portrayed of
Charaka, Patanjali and Sushruta.
The students of classes III and IV have studied about fruits from various countries (India, Russia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Japan) under an activity titled- ‘My Fruit Bag … Health with Taste’. Apart from the Skype Session , under the project a visit to an orchard was also organized that gave opportunity to the learners to know how fruits are grown, observed trees of different fruits and learnt steps of cultivating them.
Students also discussed about factors that have led
to the pollution of the natural resources and its effect on the productivity in
the soil. In another exciting activity students had dressed up as fruits from
the countries included in the study and participated in fruit parade.
Do
share your inputs about such initiatives in which learners can collaborate to
exchange knowledge….
