Environment Week in Pre-Primary, 6-11 July, 2015.

A plant will grow from a tiny seed, some water and some sun is all you need.

First the roots grown underground, they suck up minerals from all around.

Then come stems, some tall, some stout, and next the branches spread about.

Leaves grow in all shapes and sizes, Watch this new life as it rises.

Environment Day is celebrated across the world to give a human face to environmental issues and empower people to become active agents of sustainable development. Naming a day after the cause helps orient children, especially the youngest classes to familiarise with the important concern. Today, young individuals and students are our main agents of change and have the ability to change mindsets and traditions. Therefore as teachers, it is imperative that we inculcate a sense of responsibility among students early. In the light of these thoughts, Environment Week is celebrated at our School. An awareness of the responsibilities of the future citizens towards safeguarding their vital resource gets introduced. At the kindergarten level we involve the children in different activities like a Nature Walk, an introduction to different kinds of spices, cereals, herbs and vegetables with germination exercises and introducing an awareness about using paper bags in place of plastic ones. The things that enrich harm our environment as well as those that harm it were spoken about . [gallery link="file"] All sections participated in the germination activity

  An awareness about caring for animals was enabled by the visit of a loveable little pig named Chandu to School during Environment Week! He was pink and spiffy clean with tricks to show us up his sleeve! The children simply fell in love and would not leave his side! A tetra pack collection activity was also initiated and the children were asked to collect used tetra packs during their summer holidays. When we returned to School in July, a special assembly was conducted to explain the purpose of collecting tetra packs and the meaning of the 3 Rs! These are Recycle -Reuse -Reduce. Little Suhaani Duggal of PS Agena had collected a whooping number of 227 to our great delight! The fun-filled activities filled the week and captured the attention of the little minds of these twenty-first century learners and introduced them to a familiarity with the abundant of resources of Mother Earth has and the need to conserve and protect the same for ourselves in the future.
