Don’t tell them how to do it, show them how to do it. Keeping this in mind, we’ve started a weekly activity “Cooking without Fire” for Nursery children to prepare a non- flame dish and thoroughly enjoy the culinary adventure. This is an attempt to teach them discipline, increase their creativity and learn the importance of healthy food. This month they made green drink and green salad. They had great fun making these preparations.

Students of Delhi Public School joined hands with Rotary Club of Chandigarh to observe “No Horn Day India”. The International Noise Awareness Day was celebrated by the students as they sensitized the passersby and vehicle owners to reduce the level of noise in the environment by informing them of the health hazards  that  unnecessary honking  causes such as  deafness, ringing sensation in the ears (Tinnitus), high  blood pressure, and palpitations.

Some residents felt the event was a useful step in raising awareness among people and more such steps should be taken to actually reduce the honking habits of the people.

The children in this session were encouraged to read good books to enhance their vocabulary and their imagination. She urged the children to use the dictionary.

On the World Health Day, young Dipsites of Class II had a session on Oral Hygiene to make them aware of the importance of having a healthy set of teeth which would set place for a healthy body and a happy life thereafter. The foundation for healthy permanent teeth in children is laid during the first years of life.

Modules on Oral Hygiene were shown to the children to make the learning meaningful.
