Teaching practice (week 3) 28/07/2025 - 02/08/2025

 The week was filled with engaging and insightful classroom experiences that helped me refine my teaching strategies and deepen students’ conceptual understanding.On 28th July, I handled a class for  9F during the 5th period on the topic Velocity. The session began with checking students’ prior knowledge of speed. In Activity 1, students were given a problem that led them to discover the concept of velocity themselves. In Activity 2, I guided them to clearly understand the idea of velocity. The class concluded with a short review to ensure comprehension.On 29th July, I continued with  9F during the 1st period, where I revisited the concept of velocity to build continuity. During Activity 1, I showed the motion of a car along different paths to help students differentiate between uniform and non-uniform velocity. The lesson was consolidated effectively.On the same day, I took a class for Grade 8D during the 6th period on the topic classification of elements. Students were provided with color lots, and through this hands-on activity, the classification of elements was introduced.On 30th July, I handled Grade 9F again during the 5th period for the topic Acceleration. The session began with recalling prior knowledge and proceeded with a video presentation showing the motion of a bus to explain the concept. Students then completed a table to reinforce understanding, and the idea of retardation was also discussed.On 31st July, I taught 8D during the 7th period on Earlier Attempts for Classification. The class started by discussing the early arrangement of elements, followed by introducing Dobereiner’s Triads and Newlands’ Octaves through a model-based activity.On 1st August, the topic for  8D was Mendeleev’s Periodic Table. It was taught using the Inquiry Training Model. Students actively participated by asking yes/no questions, making the session highly interactive and successful.Finally, on 2nd August, I conducted two sessions for  9F. The first class focused on the continuation of Acceleration, covering Uniform and Non-Uniform Acceleration. Students’ understanding was checked through discussion and examples. In the second class, I introduced Road Signs and Road Markings, helping students connect concepts of motion with real-life applications.

 Third week of our teaching practice was enriched with a variety of co-curricular activities that added vibrancy and meaningful experiences to the school environment. On Monday optional observation was there. Priya teacher assessed our teaching.A special pledge was organized under the initiative of the Disaster Management Center. The pledge emphasized the importance  to prevent accidental deaths due to drowning. Following this, the Science Club conducted quiz related with moon day. On Wednesday, the entire school community observed a one-minute silent prayer in memory of the victims of the tragic incident at Mundakai Churalmala. On Thursday, a poster competition was held, where students showcased their creativity and awareness on socially relevant themes. In the afternoon, a PTA meeting took place, which also included the selection of new executive members. This strengthened the collaboration between parents, teachers, and the school management.On Friday, the English assembly was conducted, providing students with opportunities to exhibit their communication skills and talents in the language. Later, the school cricket selection was organized to identify skilled players for the school team, thereby promoting sportsmanship and team spirit among students.Overall, the week was highly engaging and meaningful, as it balanced academics with co-curricular opportunities that nurtured the students’ physical, intellectual, and emotional growth.

Week 9

 During this week, I had the opportunity to handle Class 9F for the introduction of the chapter Sound and its continuation. On 27th January 2026, the chapter was introduced for the first time using the 5E instructional model. Since this model emphasizes active student engagement and inquiry-based learning, the class initially felt challenging to manage. However, as the lesson progressed, the topic itself captured the students’ interest. The use of varied learning experiences related to sound helped in sustaining their attention. The effective use of sound-based stimuli created curiosity among students and motivated them to participate actively, leading to better classroom interaction and engagement. On 29th January 2026, which was the last working day of School Internship Phase 2, I took the sixth period for Class 9F on the topic Propagation of Sound. The lesson began with a game-based activity where students classified sounds into artificial and natural sounds, which created an en...

                    This was my first week of teaching practice at VPMHSS Vellarada for my third semester teaching practice in  B.Ed programme. I reached the school at 9:00 am in  all days of the week without any delay. In this week, I took 4 classes.                         On 16th July I took a lesson plan on 8D based on the topic molecules of the chapter Elements and compounds.I used  concept attaintment model for the class.During the first phase ,I presented some positive examples including oxygen ,carbon dioxide ,water etc and negative example Iron, hydrogen atom, helium etc, then I ask students to compare both examples and find out the essential attributes and after that I gave some unlabelled examples and ask the students to distinguish it into positive and negative examples and after that I analysed the session and presented a chart showing the defi...

 The second week of my teaching practice turned out to be an enriching experience with both classroom sessions and co-curricular activities adding variety to the week.                     On 21st July, I handled a class for 8D during the 7th period. The topic was “Elements”, and I tried to make the session more engaging through different activities. For the introduction, I performed a simple experiment followed by an activity that caught the attention of the students. I introduced the concept of atoms and built the foundation for the topic. For the closure activity, I gave the students a word rearrangement task, where they had to form the definition of elements. This helped to reinforce the learning in an interactive manner.On 26th July, I got another class for 8D during the 8th period. The topic was “Compounds”, which I presented using the Concept Attainment Model. I began the session with positive and negative examples, which...
