B.Ed.

  With a flurry of events and unplanned holidays, this week went by quite quickly. Due to the Plus-One seat controversy, the Kerala Students Union (KSU) declared a state-wide education bandh on June 25, Tuesday, providing students with an unplanned respite. The school observed Anti-Drug Day on Wednesday, June 26, with a number of noteworthy events planned by the JRC cadets and NCC. The day started with an oath against drug use and went on to include talks in Malayalam, Hindi, English, and dance performances, as well as song and poem recitals.

I gave a brief introduction to the unit "Hours and Years," which tackles the idea of time's interconnection. The famous Egyptian author Naguib Mahfouz's lesson "Half a Day" was the next thing we tackled. We carried on studying this subject today. The days at the school have been interesting and fruitful overall.
