I must say that the topic was very interesting for kids. Ishika was quite excited about our past. Everyday she would come ask me about my school life.

As an art teacher I am very happy to say, in my 2G and 2C class students were talking the things about art then and now. They have seen the presentation and talking about, how much olden days people struggled to create the paints,cave paintings etc. It's nice to here them reflecting!

The first unit was thoughtfully chosen as it covered the human story spanning 500,00 years... from the stone age to the space age. There was much to explore about how civilizations began, how empires were built, and how the world has become what it is today.

I truly appreciated the learning in this unit when Araddhya started explaining how coal was made by the early humans when the two soldiers asked the villagers to get some coal for preparing the stone soup. He talked about burning logs and then how coal was used to make black colour for cave art. He felt the clean air then, has been replaced by polluted air now ..this aside, the inventions have only taken us furthur in our quest for more --- he feels that the future inventors must go green in their efforts to make lives easier. Cheers!

Anish was eager to know how things were in the past and present . He interacted with his grand parents and us asked many questions regarding cooking, housing , internet and communication. He was especially fascinated about the communication systems and phones . He him self took the concept of communication and learned how communication system was then and now. He was surprised to know that there is so much change in the communication system started imagining how the future communication systems can be. It was very impressive for me and his dad by seeing the little one asking such interesting questions.

This was a fun UOI. Arush got to learn how things used to be many years back and realized things weren't always as they are today. On the other hand, it was challenging also as Arush did not know what are the right questions to ask us or what exactly to search for on Internet.

Nishitha(Kritin's mom)

Kritin got very fascinated learning the subject Life long time go.He came back excited from school every day and would tell us at home as to how things used to be back then and would wait for us to give our stories.He found it very interesting that life was very different from ours in olden days and even insisted that he'd try some of the olden methods like using soapnut water for washing his hair.It is indeed a very good topic to pick and make the kids understand the changes that have come over time and the privileges that they have today !!!!

Ananyaa was very excited about the idea of learning the past and comparing with now. She shared enthusiastically what she learned about past with us and enquired all about how was school, jewellery, cosmetics & games. She also learned and shared with her friends the history (various time periods) of the Earth from Amazing book of facts. Overall it was very interesting topic for her and us. This topic paves a way for kids to appreciate the value of the luxury in our life. Thank you choosing this topic.

Aditya had lots of interesting questions on how things used to be in my childhood and my parents childhood too. And it was amusing to see his reaction to some of the answers :-) Very interesting topic and good way to make them value the luxuries of current generation.

As someone rightly said its important to learn the past if you want to understand the present.Kids thoroughly enjoyed learning about the inventions and discoveries about various things that they wished to know. This topic helped the learners to know the past, what in present and how the future would look like. It was interesting for the learners to know how their parents and grand parents  life was, and  how  were the people  adapting to the new things. This helped the learners predict future beautifully.It was personally a great learning for me too.It was an awesome blossom unit.(Class 2-A)
