Bagless Days

Pupils of Classes III-V enjoyed a day of fun activities after their Half-Yearly Examinations.

Students of Class III began their Bagless Day with a calming yoga session followed by fun games that promoted SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being which helped them to enhance physical fitness, mindfulness and emotional balance. Thereafter, in the ‘Best Out of Waste’ activity on the theme of peace, they worked towards reinforcing SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production and SDG 16 – Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. They learnt to reuse materials creatively.

Pupils of Class IV began their Bagless Day with a screening of the movie ‘Matilda’, which they greatly enjoyed for its humour, imagination and its message on the power of knowledge and kindness. Later, in the ‘Roleplay Rhapsody’ session, students enacted characters from their favourite storybooks. Performances were judged by peers on script, articulation, expression, acting, props, and costumes. The activities supported SDG 4 – Quality Education and SDG 10 – Reduced Inequalities, by promoting creativity, confidence and appreciation for diverse talents. It also fostered attentive listening and appreciation for peers’ efforts. The children, then, solved a Sudoku sheet.

The students of Class V participated enthusiastically in a ‘No Fire Cooking’ activity. The event aimed to promote SDG 2 – Zero Hunger, SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being, and SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production by encouraging healthy eating and safe, sustainable cooking practices. Students prepared dishes like fruit salads, sprout chaat, vegetable sandwiches which displayed their creativity and teamwork. Since the previous day had been World Gratitude Day, they also took part in a Card-making activity that supported SDG 16, as they expressed gratitude and respect for people surrounding them, through colourful, heartfelt messages. It was a joyful and meaningful experience for all.
