Day Four followed with the kids writing catchy slogans on saving the environment. Day Three was devoted to watching videos on environment and singing environment enthused songs.

The children of class 1 were at the forefront of things during Environment Week. Towards this end, a cornucopia of activities kept the students active and involved-special assemblies, nature walks, workshops, Ted talks, nukkad nataks, songs and self composed poems, panel discussions, library activities, art initiatives and Citizenship classes. The week-long celebrations aimed at sensitising students, teaching fraternity, administrative and cleaning staff on the value of resources the need to adopt sustainable practices and make them a part of everyday routine.
