For the 9th standard students, the Chemistry exam was conducted in the morning session and the Physics exam in the afternoon session. For the 8th standard students, the Adisthanapadavali exam was held in the afternoon session. During my free time, I also completed my record works.

Today is Ayyankali Jayanthi, a public holiday in Kerala dedicated to remembering the great social reformer Ayyankali. He devoted his life to fighting against social inequalities and worked tirelessly for the upliftment of the oppressed communities. 
The day is not just a remembrance, but also a call to continue his vision of social harmony and progress.

ONAM CELEBRATION 2K25

I reached school at 9 am and signed the attendance register. As part of my responsibilities, I undertook discipline duty to ensure that the programs went on smoothly. The school was vibrant with the spirit of Onam, and various cultural programs were organized by the students. They showcased their talents through songs, dances, and skits related to the festival. We too joined in the celebrations by singing an Onam song, which created a festive mood among everyone.

A class-wise Athapookalam competition was conducted, and the beautifully decorated floral carpets reflected the creativity and teamwork of the students. Alongside the cultural events, traditional Onam games such as vadamvali (tug of war) were held, which brought excitement and enthusiasm to the celebration. One of the highlights of the day was the teachers’ performance, where they presented a lively dance that added joy and togetherness to the occasion.

By 12 pm, the Onam sadhya began. We actively helped in serving the feast to both teachers and students, ensuring that the traditional meal was enjoyed by everyone. The sadhya brought a sense of unity and celebration as everyone shared the meal together. After lunch, the remaining programs continued, and the entire celebration concluded by 3 pm.

Overall, it was a day filled with cultural richness, teamwork, and festive spirit, making the Onam celebration at school a memorable experience.

Second week of Teaching Practice

The second week of teaching practice, from July 21st to 25th, 2025, was particularly engaging. Monday, July 21st, was a highlight as we celebrated Moon Day, marking the anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Teachers utilized this opportunity to conduct special lessons, activities, and even a small exhibition, bringing the wonders of space exploration to life for the students. This interdisciplinary approach not only made learning fun but also allowed us, as aspiring educators, to observe and participate in creative teaching methodologies. The remainder of the week involved deeper dives into lesson planning, classroom management, and developing effective assessment strategies, building upon the foundational experiences of the first week.
