Practical Life Skills - 2020
Podar International School, Bengaluru ICSE organized Practical Life Skills sessions for Grade 1 to 9. This is the third year in a row that these sessions are being conducted. Children were informed in advance to bring the materials required for the specific activity wherever required. These practical sessions are aimed at making the students self-reliant for the day-to-day basic needs. Respective teachers imparted age-appropriate sessions in the classrooms, laboratories or inside the school premises. Students had hands-on experience in acquiring most of the skills. They were all excited to learn and master the new skills. Some of the activities include: making lemon juice, book/gift wrapping, changing bed linen, making a quick snack, removing stains from clothes, table etiquette, changing batteries of a clock and setting time, basic first-aid, some basic stitches, ironing clothes, changing bulb/tube light, packing suitcase, etc. The teachers conducted the session with a lot of enthusiasm and the students enjoyed each and every activity making it a very successful event.
