In the current scenario wherein children make their food choices by watching advertisements on televisions, it is essential to make them aware of healthy food and unhealthy food. Recently teachers conducted a session on Vegetables and its importance in the daily diet for senior section.

The children were shown the variety of vegetables which are available in the market through a class demonstration. The health benefits were explained to them. In the end, they were told to segregate veggies according to their shapes and sizes. With this activity, we hope that our little ones will feel motivated to increase the consumption of greens in their daily diet.

Our toddlers of Nursery cleaned their classrooms with small brooms and mops. They also collected the bits of newspapers and paper cuttings which were scattered in their classes.

The teachers had kept various dustbins to teach them about waste segregation. Furthermore, the little ones also cleaned their tables. This activity shall instill them good habits of keeping the surroundings clean in the school and at their home too.
