Reflection

On Saturday,I watched

A movie called ' EK THA TIGER '

on my Micromax Funbook tablet.

The cast is :

Salman Khan

Katrina Kaif

Ranvir Shorey

It is all about India having

a war with Pakistan.

An Indian agent , Tiger/Avinash 

singh rathore (Salman Khan)

falls in love with a pakistani

agent, Zoya (Katrina Kaif).

Then, they escape and run away

and then nobody could ever find 

them or tell if they were Tiger and

Zoya.

  

A day in Silsbee

One day I went to Silsbee for a field trip. Over there, I saw many things for example buildings, shops, a bridge, a dam, a hospital, and I even saw David Villa's villa and many more.

First, I went to my house in the village. It changed alot since from when I last saw it. But, when I went to my house not one single thing moved from its place.

After that, we left the village and entered the city. In the city we went to a restaurant called Relish . The food was very scrumptious.

Next, we went to a mall named after its owner. Its name was '' The Kapoor mall ''. I bought a pair of Converse All Star shoes and a few pairs of clothes.

Then, we went to the river Thames to do fishing,I caught 9 fish. I also saw the Melbourne bridge. It is very big, almost the size of 3 Brachiosauruses.

Later, we went on the on the other side of the river. There, we saw the villa of David Villa. And that is how our day in Silsbee ended.

THANK YOU !!!

The best school in the world

I feel my school is the most wonderful school in the world.I feel that because it provides everything that other schools don't. I thank His highness for making our school.

In our school, we follow the IB PYP curriculum. We have many subjects like Language,Maths,P.E ( Physical Education ),Hindi, and UOI ( Unit of Inquiry ). In UOI, we have 6 units every year and with them, we have TD (Trans-disiplanry) skills. For example, if our unit is on Simple machines, our skill would be 'How the world works'. This year, our teacher is Mrs. Archana. She is an excellent teacher.

The Aga Khan Academy has a beautiful campus. It's spread over a hundred acres land.  It is located near the Shamshabad airport. In our school, you'll see a lot of green trees.

Reflection

Today, we went to Choumahallah Palace and The Nizam's Museum to find about the Nizams' culture.
In the Choumahallah Palace, we saw the currency,paintings,clothes,throne,the chandler etc.

The currency of that time was very rusty.Some coins were circle and some were square.Some even had holes in them. The notes had a big amount. If you stretch your thumb and the pinky finger as far as you could, that would make a note.

The weapons were very sharp. Sharper than a porcupine. The most sharp one which I think was the tallest one which was in the second room.

Reflection of the unit

• Our unit was about Traditions and Rituals.
• In that, we had so much fun.
• I liked the part when we had to do our summative assessment.
• We had to make a culture of our own.
• We didn't do presentations, we did a gallery walk.
• Everyone gave comments to each others work and told them what to improve and what was good.
• When we were finished, we had a class discussion.
