Nava means "Nine" and Rasa is often translated as "mood", "emotion", "expression" or "sentiment". The Navarasa, in the scriptures refer to the nine expressions that humans often show. These are love (shringaara), laughter (haasya), kind-heartedness or compassion (karuna), anger (roudra), courage (veera), fear (bhayaanaka), disgust (veebhatsya), wonder or surprise (adbhutha) and peace or tranquility (shaanta).

LIFE SKILLS
"Tolerance is the mindful capacity to love, respect, and
accept the differences that make people unique."
Students were introduced to the monthly theme “Tolerance”.
They understood that tolerance means respecting the opinions of
others even if they are different from our own opinions, valuing
everyone, avoiding stereotypes, living together peacefully.
Tolerant people show strength by dealing with different opinions
and perspectives, being patient, making friends and forgiving.
Everyone is different and we should respect individual
differences. Students learnt the concept in-depth by watching
videos and stories on the same.

MATHEMATICS
Students started their learning of Mathematics through a recall knowledge session. They were quizzed on Order of operations in numbers. They practiced the sums by showing step-by-step calculation using the BODMAS strategy. They attempted sums and related word problems to strengthen their understanding. This was culminated by the students attempting a class assessment on the topic.
As the next topic, ‘Fractions’ was introduced. Students shared various real-life examples –pizza, chocolates, sandwiches, cooking etc.
Students also practiced the following concepts:
Practice sums and worksheets were given to strengthen their knowledge on Fractions.
Students with great excitement explored the Sep-Edu Book and the Kit. Using the SEP Edu kit, they have understood shapes using patterns and showed their creativity at its best.

SCIENCE
Light and Shadow
Force and Energy
Students enjoyed their Science lessons with the hands-on tasks planned for the topics ‘Light and Shadow’ and ‘Force and Energy’. They learnt about the 3 types of materials which does / does not allow light to pass through understanding the terms – solid, transparent and opaque. They observed the passage of light through clear water, paper with an oil patch, and book to understand the concept behind it. Understanding Shadows and its properties was done with the help of a torch light and the shadow it casts at different angles.
The topic ‘Force and Energy’ commenced with the students experiencing how force enables them to do different things like changing shape of the play dough and by giving it a desired shape, by moving, stopping and changing the direction of a moving ball by applying force. They learnt about the different types of forces by conducting hands on activities.
Activity 1 – Frictional Force - To understand the frictional force they were asked to hold a 1liter bottle initially, later on held the same bottle after applying oil and hold the same bottle, which they were unable to do so.
Activity 2 – Buoyant Force - To understand the buoyant force, they saw that when an object was immersed in a glass full of water, the water which was displaced was equal to the amount of force applied by water.
Conducting both the experiments helped the students to share many real life examples that they have seen, which led to a class discussion further.

SOCIAL SCIENCE
Ch. 21.The United Nations
Young people are the future of the world. We know that United Nations works to make the world a better place. To understand more about United Nations, which was the next topic, students were given a chance to replicate the Model United Nations General Assembly. Each student was assigned a country and the topic [WU1] was given to them. They researched about the country, its location and the efforts done by the country to reduce the carbon emission and reduce the global warming. Students also gathered information about the threats their country is facing due to global warming.
Students followed all the guidelines and procedures of the General assembly like showing the name card of the countries to ask a question, calling each other, “Delegate of…….”. They thoroughly enjoyed the session and understood the importance of United Nations.
Ch 13.Transmitting Knowledge
The topic was introduced using ‘Think and Share’ activity. Students were asked to decode a message
The collage of communication techniques was shown to understand the evolution of communication.
Students explored the ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphic script by writing their name in the script, they enjoyed writing their names and simultaneously understanding the importance and evolution of language. The invention of paper and printing was discussed. Students were asked to think about different ways of communication like smoke signals, drum beats, cave paintings, braille and using pigeons.
Students were able to understand the advantages /disadvantages of different types of communication methods.

ICT
“For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.” With the same motive, the students continued their learning and practicing of PowerPoint features and implemented their learning in a special way by creating the Slide Master. They shared their presentation based on their learning of Inserting a Smart Art Graphics, table and charts. They beautified their work by changing the color scheme and background colour to the presentation made.
ENGLISH
The learning was initiated by commemorating the contribution of Mahatma Gandhi through an activity of Crossword Puzzle. The concept of Adjectives was recounted in-depth concerning its types and also the order of adjectives in a sentence. The detailed practice and exercise strengthened the skill to apply adjectives appropriately. The eagerness of the young minds knew no bounds once they were introduced to the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes-A Scandal in Bohemia in class. The interesting revelation of suspense accelerated their critical thinking and also developed their reading skills. While reading the whole lesson, the students were acquainted with series of new words and phrases. The learning continued with the concept of the development of a civilization and a city through Unit-12 Growing a city. They drew comparison between the cities like Dubai and Gurgaon to categorize the factors involved in the development of a city. The learners revisited the topic of Prefix and Suffix with the practice of live worksheets and quizzes. The learning culminated with the enrichment of writing skill-Letter Writing which introduced them to writing an application letter.
As a part of the CBSE Activity, the grade IV scholars celebrated the ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ by narrating stories related to freedom fighters. They narrated the stories which they had read or heard as shared by their family members. This act of storytelling helps in inculcating their communication skill incorporating voice modulation and intonation.
