The advantages of connecting children to the outdoors are multifarious. Recently, our playgroup students were taken for a field trip to ‘Rasala Park’, near Ellisbridge, Gymkhana.

Every child loves to wander around the unmarked trails and observe things that exist around them. Also, field trips like this encourages environmental awareness among children through unstructured play.

At Rasala Park, our students got the chance to see animals like deer, monkeys, jungle cats, peacocks and different types of birds. Every student was very excited to spot the animals that they saw only in books or on TV so far. They also enjoyed their time with friends in the play area and sang rhymes on their way back.

To highlight the importance of personal hygiene, the students of II A, sang a beautiful song on personal cleanliness. It inspired the audience not only to keep the houses clean but also themselves.

The students also highlighted how every citizen is equally responsible for keeping their city clean.

Let’s Save Our Sparrows There was a time when spotting a sparrow was as easy spotting the sky. Well,the little brown endearing bird is now nowhere to be seen! What are we going to do about it? The renowned Ahmedabad based Environmental Management and Corporate Social Responsibility Consultant, Mr.Jagat Kinkhabwala (popularly known as the SPARROW MAN) sensitized the students of class 5 towards saving the sparrows. He also gifted his book, “Save the Sparrow” to the school for a read in the library. The session began with unveiling of a sparrow sculpture by Mrs. Meetika Sharma, Vice Principal of the Primary section along with Mrs. Smita Jadhav, Hindi teacher for class 5. Following were the points that were explored in the session: • Causes of extinction of sparrows such as global warming, deforestation, and urbanization • Remedies to conserve the sparrows – gave a detailed discussion about the need of restoring nests of sparrows and even creating DIY birdhouses(nests) and giving them grains and water daily. • All the students were given a box with which they can make nests. The session concluded with inquisitive questions from our kids and satisfying answers by the guest speaker and with a note from him urging students to take steps by simply adopting and installing nests/birdhouses and helping the feathered friend – sparrow to survive!

Earth day is a global annual day celebrated on 22nd April since 1970 to protect the environment and save earth. The aim of this event is to inspire people for earth’s healthy environment. McConnell, Nelson, and Hayes all continue to be strong environmental advocates long after Earth Day was founded, who spoke of raising public awareness of environmental issues plaguing earth and taking corrective environmental actions.
