SCIENCE & ECO CLUB

In order to make children aware of the uses of waste materials and to give
them a lesson on reducing waste to save our future, a best out of waste

material activity was conducted by the Science Club students. They made
wall hangings to spread the message on ‘Year of Tolerance’ on 17th October

2019. Little hands and imaginative minds came together in a creative burst
of energy. Mind-blowing, beyond expectation, fantabulous ideas were
demonstrated by students. They prepared very creative and innovative
wall hangings from different waste materials. They used reusable and

recyclable materials like newspapers, shoe boxes, bangles, ice cream sticks
and much more. From these items, they created an amazing array of
display items and useful everyday objects, leaving everyone totally

impressed. The values like preservation, recycling, conservation, reduce,
reuse etc. are imbibed on the young hearts and minds by demonstrating
this noble act of caring for our environment. It helped the students to

develop their fine motor skills while using different kinds of material and
also encouraged them to use waste material for making decorative and
useable items. It was amazing to see how scrap could be transformed into

such useful and beautiful articles. The creativity and artistic streak of the
children were observed.

Extempore is the art of public speaking that is carried out without

preparation. It puts to test one’s ability to think on the spot and also their
spontaneity. Grade 9- 12 students participated in the competition. The

topics were based on science and current issues. Rubrics were given to the
judges for the judgment. The activity ended by taking self-reflection from
the students. The day was filled with joy and excitement. The activity gave

the students to get rid of stage fear and to improve self-confidence.
