Pre-Primary Section: The children of the Pre-Primary section of City Montessori School, Anand Nagar was sensitized about environment friendly practices to celebrate Earth Day. They were made aware of their responsibility to take care of our planet. For creating awareness teachers told them about saving water, reducing pollution, protecting the wildlife, plants and trees, recycling waste, not to use plastic bags, saving electricity when not in use, to save our earth.
Primary Section: Earth Day was celebrated with lot of enthusiasm in the Primary Section today. Children were made aware of problems that our Mother Earth is facing today and what steps should be taken by us to stop the further damage. A short skit was also shown to the children. Various activities like poster making, colouring activities, art and craft, slogan making and plantation of saplings were conducted in various classes to celebrate Earth Day and make children global citizens of the world. It was a fun filled day!
Junior Section: The day began with the entire Junior section visiting 'The Government Garden' to explore the flora and fauna and to observe Nature closely. The whole school, whether it was the students, support staff, teachers, or helpers took part in this endeavour and initiative. Each one of them took a pledge to save Mother Earth by doing simple doable actions.
With a motive to inculcate students with values of Conservation, respecting Nature, being mindful of disposing the waste, and encouraging them to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, the visit to the Government Garden proved to be a great success. Students also put up a beautiful skit on saving and conserving mother earth. They pleaded to save earth by taking small steps. Students also decorated the corridor area in the school premises by placing potted plants. They promised to take care and nurture the plants they have placed. Our continuing effort in our daily life will definitely make this beautiful planet thrive. With the aim to educate and inspire future leaders to embody the behavioural changes the world needs, SDG 13-Climate Action and SDG 15-Life on Land were also incorporated in the activity.
Senior Section: A special assembly was conducted by Class 10 on World Earth Day. Today on 22nd April, we celebrate the Earth Day. It is honoured all across the globe in order to take action and raise awareness regarding the climate crisis and bring about behavioural change to protect the environment. Earth Day should encourage us to reflect on what we are doing to make our planet a more sustainable and liveable place. The assembly began with a prayer to invoke God's blessings after which the pledge was conducted. This was followed by a short video on 'Investing on our Mother Planet'. The Class presented an impactful activity concerning the issues of today and preventions for the same to be restored by the unborn eyes. But the glam of today was focusing on "Sustainable Development Goals" and "6 Cs of Education" adopted by United Nations. We related the devastating conditions of today to the SDGs and planned a crisp quiz on it. The response by the students was immensely astounding and eye-popping. Our aim today was not just to say merely words but rather present them in actions, which we successfully achieved and will continue to do so in future for a SAFE LIVING. It was indeed a wholesome assembly to witness.
