For the commemoration of Earth Week, students of Grades Nursery and Prep
gathered together for a special assembly on Earth Day. The awareness programmes
commenced with a short enactment on Taking Care of Our Mother Earth. Further, a
skit was showcased by teachers in which Mother Earth was shown despondently
pleading to the people who don't care for her. This made the entire issue more
meaningful for the young learners. Teachers beautifully demonstrated the
detrimental effect due to cutting down of tress, wasting electricity and water,
noise and air pollution through vehicles. The slogans and posters in the
demonstration reflected the appropriate solutions for the care and safety of
earth by plantation of more trees, car pooling, making judicial use of
resources, etc.
The dramatization effect helped students to connect with
the issue easily. The discussion afterwards was convincing enough for students'
understanding that they are truly motivated for the cause of saving Earth. It
was a moment of proud hearing that children will ask their parents to follow the
measures demonstrated.
Following the schedule, a club activity on 22nd
April, International Earth Day was organized in which children watched
audio-visuals about 'Save Earth' and exhibited their learning and ideas through
drawings.
We strongly believe in instilling values like caring for the
environment from a very young age. This small effort goes a long way for a
greater good of the planet.
