Month: October 2019

Today, in my Mathematics class our teacher was teaching us Percentages and, Profit and Loss. To better understand the concept, she had planned an activity for our class. She told us that we can set up food stalls with different and creative recipes and sell the food to other pupils. On that day the canteen won’t work but instead, they will help us in making the recipes. Each group should contain 5-6 members in which, one person is in charge of one role. On the day of the activity, each group should note down their sales, profit and loss. If there is a loss in the business, they have to manage to sell the other items through discounts. I am looking forward to this activity because it’s exciting and innovative, and also are based on two of my favourite things( Food and Mathematics! I seriously love them.)

Our motive behind this project is that every student can get a realistic view of percentages and its applications. Studies should not always be bounded to the classrooms, but should also contain engrossing activities like this, to make the learner more comfortable with the subject. It also encourages a student’s overall development.

I am excited about this activity, and I am feeling like a ‘petit’ businesswoman handling all these things. In this project, my role is in the accounts side ( And I am so happy about it.) and my cronies, will be marketing and selling the eatables. I hope all goes well and our stalls will make a lot of profit.

The literary month had gone very well and I have participated in most of the competitions. For me, Winning is not important but participation is necessary. After the Literary month, there was a fest that was hosted by my school called ‘ UDBHAV’, in which around 150 schools took part. It was a grand success. I participated in One-act play English. I received the lead role and our group won second place in the competition. I was stunned by the performance of the first group.

Just as the fest came to the end, I gave my Half Yearly examinations. I performed excellently. But, because of all these events and exams at our school, I was not able to manage my time with other activities and my passions. I have a lot of hobbies and passions like Book reading, Doing crafts, Music and Blogging too! I realised that I wasn’t managing my time properly.

So, I have started keeping a schedule and allotted time to all my activities as best as I can. ( Though I don’t know for how much time I will stay to it. I am a slow changer🙂.) Besides, I have also started reading a book series by the author Rick Riordan named ‘ Heroes of Olympus‘. It is a very interesting novel series that roams around Greek and Roman mythology. If you are a fan of Adventure and Mystery books, I recommend this book series.

It was fun writing another post after a long break. It is necessary to be organised and manage time efficiently so that we can keep our tasks up to date. I love reading and I believe you do too. Have a great time and fun. Keep smiling 🙂
