Robotics @ SBOA

By Categories: 

The new ROBOTIX classes are all set to begin around the end of August.

When we started learning computers, remember our parents hardly knew anything about it, now life has come a full circle with our kids getting into robotics. If you are anything like me, then you don't have a clue!

As I persisted researching the topic, few things became clearer. The basic requirements for robotics is not just imagination and curiosity, it also needs tons of patience and perseverance. It seems to help the kids explore their creativity, develop some personality (remember patience & preseverence!) and in the process add on to their existing knowledge of Math, Physics and Computer Programming.

I believe for the tiny tots, it would be very basic and more advanced for the older kids.

The fees for the ROBOTIX class in school is Rs.2000

One class per week is conducted and the days are

Monday for 1st & 2nd std
Wednesday for 3rd & 4th std
Thursday for 5th & 6th std
Friday for 7th & 8th std

Right now there is no information if the kit will be provided or not.

SBOA School Bus and Transport alternatives

By
The School bus facility at SBOA School and Junior College is for students of class LKG to class 5. The fee for the bus ranges from Rs.1800 to Rs.2300 per term depending on the distance travelled. The school bus picks up students from a point on the route closest to the students residence and drops them back at the same point. If the parent is not around to receive the child, the child is taken back to the school and the parents have to arrange to collect their wards from the school. The other option available is to send them via private vans. This is definitely more convenient as the pick up and drop are usually at your doorstep or closer than the school bus drop point and they usually wait for a few extra Min's. The biggest drawback is that all the operators use Mahindra vans(The green boxy ones) and they are not very comfortable. Swaraj Mazda or even a tempo traveller would be nice, but I guess only if a big group of parents go out of their way to find one, the situat...

School Days are finally here!

By
School re-opened on the 11th june , the introduction by the Principal was good, except for he fact that the audi was inadequately ventilated. There could have been more fans placed and the windows could have been opened. After a stuffy 45 min session, the kids and the parents were equally exhausted! The classroom visits were better, except again for the crowd. The initial interviews were organized beautifully, just wish the induction was planned as well too..... The whole affair was thankfully over in two hours time.... Hope to have a better experience once the classes start though!

Lunch Box Worries

By
If your kiddo eats as little as mine, I'm sure you are really worried about how they are going to handle their lunch at school. From yesterday I've started to put her lunch in her lunch box and make her finish it all by herself. It does take quite a bit of coaxing from my end to get her to finish it. I guess by the end of this month it should be easier for her to handle her lunch. If you are stuck with what to pack for her lunch and snack box, here are some ideas below Snacks Raisins, cashew nuts , walnuts, Peanuts, etc,. Carrot sticks, Cucumber slices, French fries Apple slices, Grapes, Banana. Bread sticks with a dip. Dark Chocolates. Lunch Curd Rice + Egg/Vegetable Fried Rice (Put an egg anda few vegetables into it) Chapatti rolls Poori + Cauliflower/potato Sandwiches (Peanut butter, jam, cheese spread) Try the below link for kid friendly recipies http://chennaigourmand.blogspot.in/ Try and keep the recipes simple and use easy to digest ingre...
