Poem composed by a Tagorean on the occasion

Members of Tagorean Awareness Society celebrated the International Day of Yoga with great zeal, following the World Yoga Day theme for the year, 2020,  which was 'Yoga At Home and Yoga with Family'. Our students from classes VI to X recorded their short video clips by explaining the benefits of yoga.       

The pre-recorded short video was streamed live on YouTube wherein members of TAS explained the importance of yoga in our lives and how yoga makes us feel proud as it is now being celebrated internationally since its inception in the year 2015. The students also explained the importance and benefits of yoga amid the current corona pandemic. The response from the students, their parents and other viewers has been very positive and encouraging.

World Environment Day is celebrated on 5th June every year. Its aim is to raise global awareness and mobilise action for environment protection.

In the year 1972, the United Nations Conference on the Human environment was held from 5th June to 16th June. After that, every year on 5th June, it has been hosted by different countries of the world with different theme.
This year's theme of World Environment Day is BIODIVERSITY.

Biodiversity boosts ecosystem productivity where each species, no matter how small, all have an important role to play.

For example:

• A larger number of plant species means a greater variety of crops
• Greater species diversity ensures natural sustainability for all life forms
• Healthy ecosystems can better withstand and recover from a variety of disasters.

And so, while we dominate this planet, we still need to preserve the diversity in wildlife.

To keep up with the pace our CLIMATE WARRIORS have contributed to mother earth in a variety of ways.

• Making bird feeders
• Planting trees
• Writing slogans
• Making posters.

TAKING A PLEGDE TO PROTECT MOTHER EARTH

Pledge to be climate-conscious, create awareness within families & communities. Every minute counts, be a Climate Warrior.

Human activities contaminate ecosystems around the world—from pole to pole, from the highest mountains to the ocean deep. Toxic chemicals can be found in pristine forests and the blood of Arctic animals. Litter floats beneath the surface of oceans miles away from land. Even excess noise and light are interrupting natural patterns and disrupting the lives of animals and people.

Pollution today is pervasive and persistent. While the world has achieved significant economic growth over the past few decades, it has been accompanied by large amounts of pollution, with significant impacts on human health and ecosystems and the ways in which some of the major Earth systems processes, such as the climate, are functioning. The posters describes the pollution challenge, explores what is already being done to address pollution, and proposes focused and actionable interventions to address pollution in all its forms. Let us all take a call on the occasion of WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY (5TH JUNE 2020) to act towards a pollution-free planet.

A pollution-free planet is by far and away the best insurance for the survival and well-being of current and future generations of humans and ecosystems. 

To inculcate the values and beliefs of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore is an integral part of education in our school, named as it is for this towering personality , the most outstanding polymath of modern India.

To commemorate Gurudev’s 159^th birth anniversary, students were engaged in a variety of activities. And yes, rising to the challenges posed by the lockdown, everything happened online !

Class VI created their own movies on ‘Tagore: An International Figure’. Art students drew different kinds of flowers keeping in mind that  Tagore was a great lover of nature .

Students of Class VII created a  PPT using  the software Sway, focusing on Shantiniketan: An Abode of Peace

They also danced to the song ‘ Mera mann megh ka sangi’   composed by Tagore.

Class VIII made posters depicting Tagore’s Gitanjali. Art students tried to design the kind of robe that Tagore often wore and which he called his ‘al-khalla.’

Class IX students interpreted the poem “Where the Mind is Without Fear” using different modes of expression such as dance, music, poetry recitation, mime, doodling etc, with a few of these going up on the website.

The enthusiastic actors in Class X prepared a play based on the story “The Parrot” written by Tagore. This item would be shown to all classes with a discussion on its theme and relevance.

Selected students  of Class XI recited some of the poems from the English translation of Gitanjali. The  philosophy behind some of these will be discussed subsequently

A presentation (by Sanya Sarin) about the life and work of Gurudev was shown to all the students on 8^th May’20 . This focused on Tagore’s amazing oeuvre and his wide range of interests.

Poems by Tagore are spiritual  and mercurial in nature. The students  of our school stepped forward to pay a tribute to this Nobel Laureate through a dance performance on his work.
