Some Raita ......at the End of the Day

The second week, the students were tasked with a more interesting dish to create: luchi. Some select students had to travel to the cafeteria during lunchtime to help prepare the dough beforehand, so that it would be ready for rolling and frying once everyone had gone downstairs at 2:55 PM sharp.

Waiting in anticipation, the students each patiently took their turn to place their dough into the oil and watch as it bubbled up into wonderfully fluffy luchi. Alongside, some students were tasked with creating daal and raita to pair with it. It was a wonderful meal and the line for creating new batches of luchi grew endless.

Cooking has been a vital part of CAS so far and the students are thoroughly enjoying their experiences. It is an essential skill to have and develop while still in adolescence. It promotes independence, teaches practical life skills, encourages healthier eating habits, and can save money in the long run. It also fosters creativity and a sense of accomplishment, allowing individuals to prepare their own meals and make informed choices about their diet.

We look forward to the new creations we’ll be whipping up in the AusIS cafeteria.

ESS Experiment on Soil

As the new term begins, so does a new experiment for ESS. These experiments are really fun for students as they can gain lab work experience and are beneficial because of the lab report that has to be done following it. For DP1, we are starting the chapter of Soil Systems and Society. Soil is a necessity on Earth and one of the roles is that it helps to grow plants. Our experiment was to analyze two samples of soils, garden soil and roadside soil. With these two samples we found its pH, moisture, water capacity and texture. It is important to understand these qualities in soil because when they are in a certain condition, it is the best for growing plants. This experiment was very messy, but it was enjoyable. The students were divided into three groups and it was a new experience for everyone. Although we have done experiments before, we did not use some of the apparatus used in this experiment, so it was a new challenge for us. Equipment such as the dropper, glass rod...

Understanding the Role of Propaganda

A few days ago in English class we had a task of creating posters on propaganda. The aim was to understand the role of propaganda in spreading views and how it shapes people’s mindset. What is propaganda? Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda, which may or may not be objective and may include selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to elicit an emotional rather than a rational response to the information being presented. International propaganda aims to influence global audiences' attitudes and ideas, modify their connection with their home governments, or offer an alternative view of their own and the world's conditions. The novel we are studying in class, 1984 has a key theme which is propaganda. In the novel, the Party's main and most successful weapon is utilized to deceive, confuse, and contro...
