It doesnt seems to be a normal classroom session at the school rather should be some interaction session with some outside person or institution( noting the man with the camera behind).

There seems to be only man-to-man interactions taking place between the students and the teacher. In the picture, only the teacher is speaking and may be students would be given a chance to speak at the end of the session.

There doesnt seems to be any physical objects used.It is a communicative area. Looking at the students and the bright sun, it should be an afternoon session.

The above picture defines that the children were listening to a person and so many children were not that interested in the person's explanation.

Interactions

sravankumarreddysiddireddy — 2021-10-07 15:55:51 UTC

Here, the person wants to convey an important message to the children. This is maybe the reason why all children were sat outside of their classrooms.

ACTIVITY:

When observed, there seems to be a schooling session, but, unlike the normal sessions confined to the four walls of the classroom, this seems to be focusing on something very practical and bringing out a better version in of them.

INTERACTIONS:

There's a main speaker here interacting with the students. Being a new way of class, majority of them try to catch up with the speaker. The kids trying to focus on the speaker also seems to find it new about being filmed, so the person capturing the session seems to grab some attention too.

Looks like a school in a rural area. A sunny day and the school premises seems to be maintained well and clean. The playarea looks clean for the students to have a good amount of place to play around with some trees and plants around the playarea.
