CLASSROOM STORIES
Every classroom at DLRC tells a story—of curious questions, quiet breakthroughs, and moments when learning suddenly clicks. It’s not just about lessons here; it’s about learners discovering their voices, one discussion at a time.
Transition A students first tried to guess the name of the story they listened to - ‘Eva’s imagination’! Marufa then asked them to tell us what they think imagination means. It was so beautiful to listen to their responses. They said, “dream”, “something that doesn't exist, we create in our minds.” One student gave an example of superman, how we can imagine flying like a superman even though we can't!

On 4th December, Soumya of G9 facilitated in the 7th grade. He set out a strong pace for our next theme of the Delhi Sultanate by building connections of how it came to being through a story telling sequence.
He completely took charge right from the planning to the visuals and then the execution with minimal intervention from the facilitators. The students, and myself included, took away the knowledge of great chunk of history through his informative and humourous execution!
G1 students first differentiated between my space and our space in their homeroom time. After that, they were divided into two teams. Each team’s leader suggested a team name! Then, they discussed the topic assigned to them with their group members. They shared what that space looks like and what is okay to do in that space! To start off this activity, Kian gave an example for each space - in our space, we do team work but in my space, I do individual work! This helped others to understand what they're expected to do!
Grade 11 students explored how temperature affects cell permeability using beetroot samples. Instead of their usual visual observation, they used a colorimeter for the first time to accurately measure color intensity. This hands-on investigation helped them deepen their understanding of membrane behavior with real scientific tools.
Science is a social venture rather than an isolated intellectual activity. DLRC High school science team leading by example. 🔭🧪🦠🧬
Here're students of Grade 4 on a random Monday afternoon climbing a tree after some shared their experience of climbing a tree in the past and then the others writing “never climbed a tree and/ I don't want to. ” They read most of ‘Pippi sits on the gate and climbs a tree’ chapter in their literature circle book in their English lesson. In this chapter, Pippi, a 9 year old, climbs a tree with her two friends and they have a fun time! Have you ever climbed a tree? 🌳
We are doing autobiography in G2 (Lang Dev) and G3, G4 (CW). The purpose is to encourage them to tell stories from their own lives. This week, all of them wrote one paragraph from Chapter 1. This is from G2.
We attended the Transition and Grade 1 wrestling event at school today. It was amazing to see our young champions in action on the wrestling mat. Hats off to the training coaches, all students while giving their 100 percent were still abiding by the rules of combat and keeping up the spirit of the game!! well done to the team and the students!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
During the internship, Grade 11 students worked on assembling a real human skeleton and named it ‘Charlie'.

The most amazing part of Vetal Tekdi was seeing a broken tree growing again. Even though it looked like it was floating in the air, it was still alive.
This makes us think — how does it get nutrition? How does it survive?
Nature always finds a way to live and grow. That is why we say, Nature is the best teacher. 🌿

This year, today was the last trek of our students. Every month, during the last week, we went for a trek. It brought us immense joy and helped us connect deeply with nature. Some experiences simply cannot be expressed in words — they must be felt and lived.
For us, it was slightly challenging because, although each grade had one trek, the sports team went trekking from Tuesday to Friday. That experience and joy were truly special and different.
Today, during the trek, we collected Palas flowers and other natural flowers. For the upcoming Holi and Rangpanchami celebrations, we will prepare natural colors from these flowers and give them to the students so that they can celebrate a healthy and eco-friendly Holi.

Interesting Observation in the Lab...
Today, we observed something fascinating in the lab. A small amount of sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) solution was accidentally spilled and left undisturbed. After some time, as the liquid evaporated, it formed beautiful needle-like crystalline patterns on the surface.
This happened because when the water evaporated, the dissolved sodium carbonate particles came closer together and arranged themselves in a fixed, repeating pattern — forming crystals.
A small accident turned into a wonderful real-life demonstration of the process of crystallization!
Science is truly everywhere — even in unexpected moments.
