August 2019 as per the Directorate of Education.
Visit to the Biodiversity Parks for Class V
Poster Making and Slogan Writing Competition were conducted related to cleanliness
of river Yamuna. Students were encouraged to visit Yamuna Biodiversity park with
their parents. They observed the diversity among the living organisms existing in
nature. Students were made aware of the mutual dependence of plants and animals on
each other.
Students were sensitized to minimize the use of plastic bags not to throw them in
public places as they choke the drains and sewers, causing water logging.
Videos and PPT related to the topic of pollution of river Yamuna were shown in the
Lab class.
Best Out of Waste Activity was conducted for the students of Class IV
Recycling is turning the waste material into something new. Students of class IV were
encouraged to make use of waste, discarded material in the house to make products
useful for them. Students made wall hangings, sceneries, decoration pieces, utility
boxes, bags by using old cardboard cartons, old buttons, egg shells, coconut shells.
Children were made aware that it is important to reduce the amount of waste
produced so that less waste reaches the landfills to prevent pollution of land and river
waters.
Recycling helps to sustain the environment for future generations. Students will learn
to follow the principle of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Segregation of Waste activity was conducted for Class III.
Segregating waste is the first step in managing school or household waste. If waste is
not separated properly, it gets mixed up in landfills, which can contaminate ground
water and cause harm to the ecosystem.
Children were made aware of the need to segregate the waste at source. Children were
told about separation of wet waste and dry waste. Like cooked food/left over food,
vegetables, fruit peels, coffee grind, teabags, flowers, garlands etc. This kind of waste is
dumped in green bins. This organic waste can be changed into compost.
Dry waste is collected in blue bins. It is recyclable waste i.e. plastic, food jars, plastic
toys, milk jar, cottons, paper gift wraps, boxes, cardboard etc. This kind of waste can be
recycled.
Red bins are often used for kitchen and garden waste. Waste segregation is done to
easily separate the waste based on the process of recycling.
Children were sensitized to follow the segregation of waste at home too.
Demonstration on the use and importance of 3 different types of dustbins in the school
was carried out.
