The competition served as a great learning experience, inspiring students to take action to protect the environment.
Primary school children revived the delicate connection between Mother Earth and humanity through pottery making. They shaped various pots and diyas. This was followed by the fun filled activity of earthen pot decoration which unleashed their creativity with a message about the need to save our natural resources our Mother Earth. Students worked enthusiastically and experimented with different shades of colours and materials to flaunt their artistic imagination. The students understood how we can use natural materials for cooling water or cooking instead of materials which are harmful for health and Earth.
To draw attention towards waste management and environmental sustainability, and to educate children on the importance of decomposable waste and its potential as manure, a DIY manure making activity was conducted. Children gathered bio-wastes like vegetable peels and dry flowers, learning how to turn them into nutrient-rich manure.
In addition to the above activities, children engaged in the creative process of making bookmarks with poignant messages for soil conservation. These colorful and imaginative bookmarks served as reminders of our responsibility towards Mother Earth, emphasizing the importance of protecting natural resources.
