ORIENTATION - CLASSES VI, VIII & IX

SOCIAL SCIENCE WEEK​

"The social sciences have a critical contribution to make - in helping us understand, imagine and craft a more sustainable future for all."

Learning becomes tenfold enjoyable when we have fun in the process. In order to make studies a fruitful yet joyous experience, The Air Force School organised a Social Science week from 17 April 2023 to 21 April 2023 that included tons of fun activities for the tender minds of classes VI to X.

India is widely celebrated for her Unity in Diversity. Following this, students of class VI were given the task of preparing any folk song or dance to represent the multiformity of our country.

Education is incomplete without a close of creativity and authenticity. As part of the event, students of class VII consequently advocated against social evils by preparing a graphic strip, discouraging superstitions prevalent in the country.

'One earth, one family, one future' - this motto quite literally illustrates the theme of G-20 2023, presided by our homeland, India. To mark this huge milestone, students of class IX were encouraged to prepare a travelogue of any two countries participating in G-20 Summit of 2023.

Imagination is the soil that brings dreams to life - this was likely the quote that drove the young entrepreneurs of Class X to put forth their unique ideas on setting up a business. The idea of their very own Shark Tank had the students bubbling with excitement.

The success of the week marked to show how Social Science can help in raising the awareness of students about issues related  to their daily lives as well as the vast diversity of the world.
