Right after the spring break came
a very important day which is celebrated worldwide every year on 22nd April –
International Earth Day. To mark this day, we at primary school thought of a
creative inter-house activity – “Best out of Waste”.
The biggest challenge was the
collection of waste, which was to be used as raw material for the competition.
But, all thanks to the whole school community, we managed to collect a huge
amount of waste in all possible materials.
All students across Grades 2-5
were divided into teams of four or five members, each headed by a Form Five
student. They were given a span of about an hour to use a variety of waste
materials to create something new and useful. It was noteworthy to see how
students of different age groups interacted with each other and worked as a
team. Everyone came up with extremely innovative products ranging from musical
robots to wind chimes.
The whole event centred around
sensitizing the students towards the fact that we generate and dispose off huge
amounts of waste every single day, little realizing that it can be put to some
good use.
It was very satisfying to see so
many students talking about how they helped their parents at home in
segregating and collecting the waste for this competition.
Eventually, it turned out to be a
successful and wholesome event, with collective effort from our students,
teachers and parents.
