Vanmahotsav Celebration
At Arwachin International School, we believe that nurturing a love for nature is just as important as academic learning. This year, from 1st to 4th July, we celebrated Vanmahotsav Week with great enthusiasm and a deep sense of purpose. The week was dedicated to helping our students connect with the environment and explore ways to care for our planet in meaningful, hands-on ways.
Our young eco-warriors from Classes III to V took part in a variety of fun, thoughtful activities that not only sparked their creativity but also planted the seeds of environmental responsibility.
Class III A – Plantation Drive
The week kicked off with Class III A leading a beautiful Plantation Drive. Each child brought a potted sapling from home, lovingly labelled with their name, and added it to a growing green patch on campus.
Class III B – Seed Belt Creation
Next came Class III B, who got their hands dirty in the best way during the Seed Belt Creation activity. Children brought a colorful mix of seeds—marigold, mustard, fenugreek, and coriander—from home. Together, they sowed them along a patch of the playground, creating a budding “seed belt” that promises to bloom into a vibrant, biodiverse space.
Class III C – Grow Your Own Microgreens
The students explored the magic of growing their own food with the Grow Your Own Microgreens activity. Working in small groups, students used trays, seeds, and basic materials to start their mini gardens. Watching those tiny green shoots sprout was more than just exciting—it taught them about healthy eating and the power of sustainable living.
Class IV – Poster Making: “Save the Plants”
The students expressed their love for trees through art. Armed with colours, ideas, and passion, the students created impactful posters and slogans around the theme “Save the Plants.” Their work reflected a deep understanding of how vital trees are to our planet—and the creativity to inspire others to care, too.
Class V – Composting Activity
Finally, Class V took on the challenge of composting. They brought kitchen waste like fruit peels and tea leaves from home and learned how to turn it into nutrient-rich compost. This hands-on experience was a powerful reminder that recycling begins right at home—and even waste can give back to the Earth.
Throughout the week, it was truly inspiring to see the enthusiasm, curiosity, and care each student brought to these activities. The support of our parents played a key role in making this initiative such a resounding success—thank you for standing with us in growing a greener future.
Together, let’s keep encouraging our children to love, protect, and live in harmony with nature. After all, they are the stewards of tomorrow’s world.
