Environment Week in Primary

We must open young minds to think beyond the text book and become aware of the environment. They have to be enthused to realise that we, human beings are a part of a larger environment and both the source and cause of environmental pollution. They also need to realise that if the problem is caused by us, ourselves, then we alone must find ways to save it.

In the week 11th to 15th July 2016, Classes I - V celebrated Environment Week. During this week, each class planned a set of different activities that would go a long way in protecting the environment.
