Then and Now - Gallery Walk

Central Idea -Learning about previous lifestyle helps us understand the relationship between the past and the present

As we have rolled on with our new unit of inquiry – ‘Then and Now’, our students got the opportunity to see and explore a wide variety of unique and exclusive artifacts of the yester years through a Gallery Walk. They saw olden days telephones, utensils, geyser, lanterns, gramophone, postcards,coins,cameras and many more. Students were fascinated to see the telescope and had ample questions to ask. They shared their perspectives and were able to make connections with the central idea. They were actively engaged in knowing about lifestyle of the past and could think of how life has changed now. For e.g A child said, ‘We don’t need to hook up our telephones to a wire, we have cordless phones and mobiles now’.

The Gallery walk laid the foundation for further inquiry and added meaning to their learning journey!!

We thank all the parents and grandparents to share their olden days artifacts with our students and giving them the opportunity to get a glimpse of the previous lifestlyes!!
