Question

Environmental Week report

Answer 1

The Environment Week provides the opportunity to teach and enhance both environmental science and ‘nature of science’ activities. The idea is to bring environmental issues to life, as it were, for the children through a wide range of fun, interactive educational activities.

Our School organized it’s annual Environment Week from 8 to 12 July, 2013.  The children were sensitized towards their environment through various activities spanning  the week.  The children enjoyed the week and learnt many new things about our environment. Different activities were organised for each class throughout the week with all students participating in them.

The Environment Week also included the initiative to sensitize and make our students aware  of the recent Uttarakhand disaster.

The concept of SHRAMDAAN was introduced to the students across the School in the course of their through participation in a variety of  competitions  during the Environment Week. Each competition carried a cash prize of Rs.1000/ for the first position and Rs 500 for the second position and prize winners were given the option of donating their reward money or keeping it.

The idea being to inculcate generosity by giving away something earned through personal effort. Not just donating something taken from their parents.
