Plantation Drive

                                             

                                              A celebration of greenery, 
                                 A festival of giving new life to the plants,

 A celebration called Van Mahotsav was celebrated by Salwan Junior School under the aegis of Salwan Education Trust. 

As a part of Salwan Community outreach programme, SJS organized a Plantation Drive at MCD School Grounds, B-Block, Naraina Vihar.

The first plant was rooted by Hon’ble Chairman, Salwan Junior School, Maj Gen J K Kapoor. Thereafter Hon’ble Councilor Naraina, Shri Pramod Tanwar motivated the students of both the schools by planting a sapling and encouraging the students, to preserve the green-cover of the Earth.  The plantation drive brought the students of both MCD school and Salwan Junior School together on one platform.  Our students got an opportunity to interact with their counterparts of a Government School and know about their learning experiences.

The principals of both the schools, Ms. Nisha Obheroi and Mrs. Gurcharan Kaur also marked the green achievement drive’s success by planting a tree each.

Each student and all the teachers were upbeat about the initiative.  It was a hands-on experience for the students wherein they interacted with the gardeners of MCD,  MCD Councillor and the administrative workforce of the local Government authority as well.

Also, KG children planted saplings of tulsi, aloe vera and pudina with their little hands along with the help of the school gardener in our school's herbal garden area and contributed in their small way of keeping up the promise of “Green Delhi, Clean Delhi.”

In all, the drive was a condense Learning experience for everyone involved.

“A step taken forward in the right direction is half the successful journey undertaken.” 

Instilling Healthy Habits!!

This week was once again full of activities in the routine of our kindergarteners: races, audio video presentations and competitions, all depicting the importance of Healthy Food and Junk Food in leading a healthy lifestyle. This month’s competition was Fancy Dress which was presented with a lot of colorful costumes. Children came dressed in their colorful costumes and spoke a few sentences on the positives of eating healthy food and on the negatives of eating junk food; whatever they were depicting. 

 Also, Fun-Races were organized for KG classes where children collected only healthy food in their bowls on their way to the win. Children used the names of their favorite food after winning and rejected junk food in their respective race tracks. 

 It was a fun-filled learning experience for the tiny tots too as they gained collective information on eating healthy food and turning junk food into healthy eatable item.

Kindergarten Puppet Show

“Two little houses all closed up tight

Open up the window and let in the light

Ten little finger people tall and straight

Ready for the school after Summer Break!”

The scorching heat of the prolonged summer season could not stop the zeal and enthusiasm of our young Salwanians to gear up and mark their first day in the school. All children were welcomed with open arms and big smiles into their classes and shared their experiences of their summer visits to numerous places.

The young Kindergarteners kick started their week with a colorful Puppet Show depicting the story of a Mango Tree, going through all seasons. This puppet-story highlighted the changing seasons and its characteristics with respect to the changing phases of a tree.

Every child enjoyed the story as it boosted their imagination with beautiful picture cutouts. They enthusiastically asked all sorts of questions which the teachers were delighted to answer!
