In order to encourage students to participate in various programmes and activities and widen their horizon and experience which is more important for their all-round development, the school has clubs.
Student clubs have been formed which are interactive forums for children to engage themselves in scientific discussions, forming innovative techniques and building a learning culture around education.
The following clubs are formed in our BPS & JC for the improvement of communication, logical thinking , analyzing, practicality and to explore many new things.
MATH CLUB:
Math Club has been introduced with the aim of making Mathematics fun for students. It endeavours to help students grasp mathematical concepts better through activities like puzzles, shortcuts in calculations and games.
Club Activities:
- Participation in Math Olympiads and other competitions.
- Conduct Mathematics quiz.
- Study of various Math based puzzles and games.
- Developing models and aids to facilitate a better grasp of Mathematical concepts.
GREEN CORP:
LET'S ALL PLEDGE TO SAVE MOTHER EARTH- IT'S THE ONLY ONE WE HAVE!
Objectives:
Sensitizing our young students to environment related issues is the main purpose of the School's Eco Club.
Club Activities:
- Tree plantations.
- Organizing campaigns and rallies like 'Say no to Poly Bags', 'Say no to crackers', 'Save Water', 'Save Energy', and 'Green and Clean City'.
- Projects initiated and undertaken for eco-friendly surroundings. Project and regular maintenance of compost pits and green house in the school premises.
- Participation of students in various intra and inter school events.
- Participation in community activities related to ecology.
CYBER CLUB:
Objectives:-
- To create awareness on the current trends in computers
- To improve analytical & logical skills
- To learn the dynamics of a computer and use it for higher learning Introducing students to new technologies
- To bring out creative talents
- To test the knowledge of the students
- To impart knowledge to the students
Club Activities:
- Provide computer support for all school events.
- Help make presentations for various school functions.
- Increase awareness of computers amongst students.
- Make students aware of the uses of information technology and thus prepare them to handle information enabled devices in the future.
- Organize computer-based competitions.
Inter school participation at National and International levels for computer based competitions.
English Club
The English Club aims to promote the use of English through storytelling and drama and to provide students with opportunities to use English purposefully. The activities in English club are student-centered and often involve students' active participation in making the learning experience both fun, dynamic and authentic.
Objective(s):
- To cultivate a love and appreciation for the English Language
- To provide a language-rich environment for language acquisition
- To equip students with the necessary skills for storytelling and drama performance.
MATHEMATICS LAB
To make the teaching and learning process more effective we have a wide variety of Math models in our Math lab. There are different types of learners in our society, we facilitate all the children such that all the children will be perfect in all the concepts.
TYPES OF LEARNERS
To understand how to move from passive to active learning, it is important to understand the different types of learners. There are four primary learning styles: visual, auditory, read-write, and kinesthetic. People learn using a variety of these methods, but one method is usually predominant. Familiarity with the characteristics of each learning style and associated strategies allows you to address the needs of each type of learner.
Visual Learners
- They tend to be fast talkers.
- They exhibit impatience and have a tendency to interrupt.
- They use words and phrases that evoke visual images.
- They learn by seeing and visualizing.
Our teaching strategy for visual learners includes the use of demonstrations and visually pleasing materials, and make an effort to paint mental pictures for learners.
Auditory Learners
Auditory learners are characterized by the following:
- They speak slowly and tend to be natural listeners.
- They think in a linear manner.
- Teaching and Learning Styles
- They prefer to have things explained to them verbally rather than to read written information.
- They learn by listening and verbalizing.
Our teaching strategy for auditory learners sounds good and is planned and delivered in the form of an organized conversation.
Read-Write Learners
Read-write learners are characterized by the following:
- They prefer for information to be displayed in writing, such as lists of ideas.
- They emphasize text-based input and output.
- They enjoy reading and writing in all forms.
- Your teaching strategy for read-write learners should include writing out key words in list form.
The learners will learn by silently reading or rewriting their notes repeatedly; writing out in their own words the ideas and principles that were taught or discussed; organizing any diagrams, graphs, other visual depictions into statements (e.g., “The trend is . . . â€); and putting reactions, actions, diagrams, charts, and flowcharts into words. They like multiple-choice tests.
Kinesthetic Learners
Kinesthetic learners are characterized by the following:
- They tend to be the slowest talkers of all.
- They tend to be slow to make decisions.
- They use all their senses to engage in learning.
- They learn by doing and solving real-life problems.
- They like hands-on approaches to things and learn through trial and error.
- Teaching and Learning Styles
Our teaching strategy for kinesthetic learners includes hands on demonstrations and case examples to be discussed and solved.
Objectives of our Math lab:
- To bridge the gap between theory and practice of mathematics education.
- To define and develop the concept of “Mathematics Laboratory†in a broader sense based on the education theories like constructivism, activity based learning and treating Mathematics as an empirical science.
- To write topic wise booklets about conceptual development of various topics from high school syllabus, this will be useful to Math teachers and children.
- To collect and compile topic wise, Math-lab activities.
- To use activity kits made with card board, rubber sheets, plastic etc. to increase the ability of conceptual understanding.
- The use of mathematics laboratory helps to integrate theory and practical work in Mathematics teaching /learning. The advantages of using mathematics laboratory which include.
- Display Mathematical information
- Avenue for experimentation through practical work
- Pool of storage of mathematical materials for easy access
- Removing abstractness and increasing effective teaching /learning.
- Based on the advantages of mathematics laboratory, it is expected that teaching and learning of mathematics with mathematics laboratory may help toreduce the abstract nature of the subject and draw the attention of students to follow.
