We started the session by introducing their friend with an idea to reduce their stage fear. And we divided the students into groups and activities were given.

The session begins with group formation games and provided a brief description about district, panchayath and taluk. We were able to cover one of the unit from the syllabus. At the last we found that some of the students hesitate to participate in activities, citing minor complaints such as aches and pains. Students are hesitant to speak in Malayalam and prefer using their native language. Students often feel bored and fatigued because of a week of intensive classes hence they wish for entertainment or programs over traditional lessons.

On this day five volunteers ( Lakshminanda Suresh, Shilpa Sunil, Aswathi Varghese, Kripa, Merin Kuriachan) Visited the MRS. The session began with a warm up activity. The children of age group 10 to 13 years was there in the class. The session focused on general awareness, which include district names and peculiarities of districts. The goal was to familiarize them with the district names. We introduce the concept through songs and games. We also spend time for student’s cultural activities.
Three volunteers among our group (Kavya Sasinas, Devika.K, Haripriya.P) had visited the MRS. We started the class by revising constitution rights, hence it lead to the topic gender inequality. We introduce the topic through a game. Moreover we discuss about the importance of constitution and self independence to facing problem. It seems the students are actively engaged and demonstrating good understanding when it comes to academic discussions or answering questions, but they exhibit shyness when participating in mixed-gender activities or games. This indicates a social interaction barrier, likely due to hesitation or lack of confidence in such settings. Identifying this issue is crucial to fostering an inclusive and comfortable learning environment.
