Rabindra Jayanti Celebrations 2025

On May 6th, Class 3s celebrated the magic of Rabindranath Tagore through the eyes of our little artists! The life and work of the great poet, philosopher, and Nobel Laureate was celebrated through songs, dances, recitations and speeches.

The spirit of Tagore came alive through the children’s presentation and reminded us why Tagore remains so important even today. He believed that learning should be joyful and connected to nature, an idea that still influences modern education. His work reminded children to stay curious, be creative, and live with love for all living beings.

Even in today’s digital world, Tagore’s words light up young hearts and remind them that true learning is about freedom, creativity, and joy.

 

Earth Day – Upper Primary – 2025

The students of Classes 3, 4, and 5 came together to celebrate Earth Day on 22nd April with enthusiasm and awareness. A short programme was held, with meaningful talks on Renewable and Non-Renewable resources, highlighting and promoting the benefits of renewable energy. The event also featured Earth Day songs, facts about when the first Earth day was celebrated.

It was important to make students understand that these projects are not time bound and only to ‘celebrate’ the day. Earth day and thinking about the environment needs to be done everyday and there must be a genuine desire to make a positive change.

Which is why students their 2 previous and ongoing projects

1. “Give Me 10” initiative—encouraging families to wait 10 minutes before turning on the AC—to conserve energy and reduce CFLs.

2. Collecting paper & plastic waste which was sent for recycling.

This year they are learning about ‘composting’, its process, and how it benefits the environment by recycling waste into rich organic material.

A special highlight was the Class 3 “Disconnect to Reconnect” campaign, where families engaged in a digital detox over the weekend. They spent quality time star gazing, playing games, storytelling, and preparing meals together—proving that reconnecting with loved ones can be both fun and eco-friendly.

It was a beautiful reminder of how small steps by young minds can make a big difference for a greener tomorrow.

An excellently woven recital, which included mellifluous singing, dance and poetry recitation, was presented embracing his ideals of love for nature, tolerance, empathy and beauty of life.

EcoBricks Workshop

The students of class 5 came together for a workshop conducted by Mrs Y Bapat, an environmentalist, on September 15, 2023, to turn non-biodegradable garbage like plastic into construction blocks. To do this, they used plastic bottles  which they firmly packed with plastic packets. This helps prevent plastic waste in the landfills and the degradation of plastics into toxins and micro plastics, which  hurts marine life when they make their way into water bodies, and endangers our health.
