On the 18th of August, 2017 about 30 solar panels were installed at the campus. The students were given demonstrations and explained how the panels worked. We were told about how this step would help us save large, amounts of electricity. We thank Mr. Roshan Gandhi Forouhi and Principal Mrs. Abha Anant for providing us with such facilities that aim at the making the school better.

Members of Eco Club celebrated 'WORLD LION DAY' in the school assembly and spoke about dangers faced by lions these days. They also told about the ways by which endangered animals could be save. The children had made 'rakhis' for trees and tied them to the plants in the Science park of the school. They also made posters which were displayed on soft boards in the school. Paper bags were made distributed to the vendors in the market outside the school, which included food stores, stationery shops and in the school canteen.

The 'World Lion Day' was celebrated in the morning assembly to educate and create awareness among the younger generation about the plight of lions. Students put up a show with the help of a powerpoint presentation followed by a quiz based on the majestic animal with the theme "KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND HEART STRONG". Afterwards, they gifted beautiful lion masks with quotation on lion written to them.

'Rakshabandhan' is a festival to celebrate sacred bond between brothers and sisters. On this occasion, when millions of sisters tie rakhis to their beloved brothers, we are tying the thread of love and affection to our beloved brother trees and vow to protect them...and make our bonds stronger!

Instilling scientific knowledge and logical acumen in the children should start at the earliest possible age. It will help children question and understand various processes around them and their environment in an intelligent fashion.

Keeping this thought in mind, we the Pre Primary section of City Montessori School, Gomti Nagar Campus I observed and celebrated “Science Experiment Day” on July 2^nd, 2017. The day started off with a display of a dedicated board on the said theme, put up in the lobby. Various experiments were set up in the lobby to sensitize the children with real world scientific information. The following experiments were performed in front of the children, which them awestruck and spellbound.

'Creating a Glass Harmonica with Water in Bowls that demonstrated the concept of the heavy items sinking and light floating using a coin and a thermocol respectively.

Air pores help in floating was shown by using an orange that floats when it has the peel and sinks when it is unpeeled. Air has weight was shown by deflating a balloon hung on a stick which causes it to tilt.

Filtration was shown by using a filter paper. The concept of primary colours was also demonstrated and how they mix to give various shades of secondary colours. Vinegar and baking soda when mixed produce carbon dioxide which used to inflate a balloon.

All the experiments were very eye-catching and left an indelible mark on the young minds of the students, which was precisely what we wanted and strive towards.

To create awareness and a sense of responsibility for the conservation of ecology among the children and society, the Pre Primary section of City Montessori School, Gomti Nagar Campus I observed and celebrated “Global Tiger Day” on July 31st, 2017. Tigers naturally exist and thrive in the forests and jungles. If their habitat is protected and conserved it will naturally translate into their well being  .

Therefore the children were educated about conserving the green cover on  earth which would subsequently transform into conservation and preservation of the wild life on the whole and tigers in particular. Poaching and killing of tigers for their skin for aesthetic purposes was also brought forth as a concern and the students were told to discourage as much as they could by  boycotting goods made directly from tiger skin and tiger parts.

The children made tiger masks in the class as part of their activity of the day. A dedicated board stood tall in the lobby to assert the message it conveyed. The assembly as well reverberated with the theme.
As always we were able to pass on a socially relevant message in a picture perfect manner which is what CMS is known and stands for.

'Van Mahotsav' celebrated in CMS Gomti Nagar Branch. Planting of trees done by principal ma'am & Eco Club members.

Because of the shortage of time, we couldn’t perform our skit on 24th April (Earth Day), so we performed it on 25th April in the morning assembly!

It was really a good time while we found the matter for the skit, practiced it, and fought funnily for getting longer parts to speak in the skit. We arranged for some flower pots, some props to use and many more things which made our skit even more interesting.

It was really good to experience the feeling of not only speaking but also enacting on stage, and we enjoyed a lot speaking about our BEAUTIFUL NATURE!

Our skit was all about telling people to save their environment, by not cutting trees, saving animals and not overusing fossil fuels. So actually we spread the message of “Saving the Nature”.
