How it looks now!


Our deadline was January 15, 2015 to provide the children with a new school ground and also an outdoor classroom. We were pretty much on time and so far it has taken a good shape. The children have already started using the school ground. We will assess the risks and there will be some additions too later on based on how it is being used now. Here are some pictures of how it looks like now.


Outdoor Classroom




Growing Area



Wet Learning Area



Learning through Play





Natural Learning Area





Shelter





Learning with Loose parts


Pathway/ Stepping Stones








Flat Area/Playground Marking

 We did not yet work on it. As the soil is compact and children generally use some stick to mark the playground for certain play (for example 'chi-kut'). We will observe a few days and then decide on the probable location for a finished playground marking. I am in a fix whether it will somehow restrain children from doing what they do  which is also good for their motor development. The children are interested to have some playground marking as sometimes they cant play those games due to sand which erases the marks and also does not let them to pass with the stone from one block to another.

 Adding some colour?
How can we introduce some colour? I am planning to organize a free painting day when the children will free paint the area in the walls surrounding the school ground. The children will be provided with the basic colour along with some bright colours from the colour wheel. They can learn about mixing of colour and making the secondary and tertiary colours.

We got our Experimental School

Its Tulatuli Primary School After a rigorous (I will surely call it rigorous considering all the aspects we considered) selection process finally we all (me, Simon, Sarah and Eva) are unanimous about one school- Tulatuli Primary School. The reasons or the justifications for the selection of this school is- 1)       Communication is easy from the place of the researcher and also from any point where we can have the construction materials we would like to use. This is important as we are going to work here for a longer period of time. 2)       The school is typical of most of the primary schools in all its aspects- the number of teachers and students, the physical condition and design of the school buildings and also the size of the school ground. 3)       The teachers seem enthusiastic. The Headmaster is a young energetic person and I hope that he can motivate his co-teachers in this project.  The H...

Selection of School, Part- 02

25/10/2014 Rahimabad Primary School My Research assistant cum my nephew visited Rahimabad Primary School today as I was away to my capital city. The school ground is quite bigger 70mX42m approximately. It would be great to work in this school but the matter is its quite hectic to go to this school from my place and a bit expensive in respect to some other schools. I need to change CNG driven vehicle. As I am planning to work on longer terms, for almost a year I need some school close to the place I am residing.
