Experiencing Nature

August 26,2013

We come to school everyday,little realising that we are fortunate to have so much greenery and picturesque views.Today's session was to make children experience the Nature around and help them understand that the diversity that abounds in Nature is also applicable to human beings.Nature works in harmony with all creations,big or small.As human beings,we too need to respect the differences that we have as individuals and understand that we are a small but significant part of the whole.

 

Acts of Kindness

Students were shown a video on "Random acts of kindness" - they were asked to write an incident about a stranger's act of kindness.They were also asked to write a message for their friends

.

Meditative Eating

We eat without thinking twice about what goes into our mouths.To appreciate food and to introduce students to a sense of wellness by slowing down,we asked students to bring healthy food in a stainless steel box.They were shown a video on the  "Zen" way of eating.This was followed by an introduction to our traditional way of eating which emphasises on being aware ,expressing gratitude for the food we eat and sharing it with other living creatures.

 

Trip ToBimba Art Hut

Students met Ms.Deepika Dorai and Mr.Deepak,who showed them the campus - the workshops:metal,fabric,wood.They also explained about being "earth sensitive" and celebrate being on earth.
