Neralu School Project - http://neralu.in/schools/
Neralu invites all schools to engage in an exciting project to explore the world of trees and connect with nature. These trees, stand tall as our silent neighbours, and bear within them endless stories to share. From measuring trees to painting a wall with trees, this could be a fun and informal way of learning about our city’s rich natural heritage.
We encourage each and every school in the city to register, pick a suitable activity from the list provided, execute it with the help of students, teachers and parents; document it, and share it back with us. Let’s work together as one large community to be the voice for our tall, silent friends.
The activities help bring students outdoors and appreciate trees, thereby enabling them to observe and record the diversity of life. It's a hands-on activity and makes the learning more fun.
To participate, here are a few simple steps -
- From the list below, select the activity that you would like to execute at your school. (PDF's are attached on the website)
- Tree Scrapbook
- Measure a Tree
- Diversity of Life
- Value of a Tree
- Tree Census
- Tree Poster Collage
- Build a Tree
- Paint a Tree Mural
- Plant a Tree
- Register your school at www.neralu.in/schools and fill in the essential details within the registration page.
- Execute the project, document the process, and email a write-up with photographs to neralufestival@gmail.com
- 10 students per group is an ideal size. Some activities could be executed by a larger or smaller group too.
- Last date for Submission - 5th Feb 2015
- For the activities Tree Poster Collage and Tree Scrapbook, two entries from each school can be submitted to be displayed at various Neralu venues. The works can be collected back after Feb 15th at a designated pickup point.
