Earth Day
“The environment is where we all meet; where all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing all of us share.”
The dipsites of the Pre-primary section enthusiastically participated in ‘EARTH WEEK’ to commemorate our benevolent Mother Earth. On the occasion of Earth Day, an array of resourceful activities was organised to sensitize children and make them aware of the wonderful planet Earth, the conservation of natural resources and to motivate them to do their bit towards making their planet even more beautiful. The week commenced with facilitators orienting learners about the importance of Earth Day and the students took a pledge to preserve and conserve their self-sustaining planet. ‘Be a Designer’ activities were organized to invigorate the young minds, like table standee making, paper bag making, ‘3 R’s while turning Trash into Treasure’, ‘Balloon Stamping’ and Seed Ball Making. These activities gave the students a platform to showcase their artistic and creative skills. ‘Be Witty and Wise’, knowledge-based activities conducted were 'Trail and Talk' activity, which allowed our students to do Green Walk and collect interesting natural things bring them to the class and then talk about it, ‘Know the layers of Earth by rolling the play dough’, ‘Dry and Wet waste Segregation’, Edu-Games like ‘Root and Shoot’, ‘Sorting and Feeling’ and ‘Lofo Earth’ had its own learning and amusing element. The cherubs were intriguingly involved while they observed the 2G’s of the plant, Germinate and Growth during the plantation activities. The exemplary skit performance by the tiny tots, puppetry session on ‘Cloud of Trash’, and ‘Cleanliness Drive’ proved to be an eye-opener for the viewers. Multiple class-wise field trips to Nursery and organic farms were planned to appreciate the bountiful gifts of Mother Earth in the form of all flora, fauna and beautiful landscapes.
The cluster of activities rekindled emotive concerns and instigated the youngsters to save, love and respect Mother Nature with all their heart and soul.
