COHESIVE INTERDISCIPLINARY PROJECTS – CLASS IV

Activities and projects have always complemented academics, allowing students to integrate their
scholastic learnings into a lifestyle conducive for developing brighter and sharper minds. Each subject
holds its own special place and importance but combining them creates a richness of ideas that
inspires a sense of perspective. Interdisciplinary projects serve to assimilate various subjects with each
other, and in doing so, help students learn the practical aspects of textbook knowledge thus making
education holistic. In our endeavour to ensure the same, we at Bal Bharati have especially devised
interdisciplinary projects for our students.
A total of six projects for students of classes IV have been designed to keep them engaged during the
coming two weeks.
Students will work in groups of seven – eight, as assigned by the class teachers.
Each group will work on one of the six projects.
All of these six projects comprise of four activities each. Every group member has to complete all the
four activities of the project theme assigned to the group. Use of A 4 sheets is recommended for the
project activities as and where needed.

The project themes are detailed as under:
