Children’s Day

 

Oakridge International School celebrated Children’s Day with a difference – no banners, posters, balloons & streamers, just FUN!! An idea encouraged by the ‘Green Rangers’ of Oakridge that students did not need the trappings to enjoy the special day, was further defined to exclude plastics and enjoy the outdoors soaking up the sun!!!

The day commenced with a prayer for the children by the teachers and a small talk on the significance and importance of the day. The Morning Assembly was conducted by the teachers, who also sang, danced and acted for the students. Children’s Day was so much more fun because we celebrated the day through the children's eyes.

The ‘Green Rangers’ wished to extend the celebrations to include gifts of saplings to the students in keeping with the theme. Here’s wishing every child a ‘Green Earth – Healthy Child –LONGLIFE HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY’

Night Camp

The ‘Night Out’ arranged for the students of Class X was a huge hit with the children. They trekked, showed off their talent – acting, singing & dancing and put their version of Julius Caesar. They had a sumptuous dinner around the campfire and stayed up late with a movie. Team building activities in the morning had the children up bright and early and anxious for the day to begin.

Green Rangers in action

 

 

The Green Rangers distributed fruit and medicinal saplings to all the staff and students of the school. How air pollution can be reduced in addition to the other benefits, with the planting of these sapling was explained to all. This was organized to coincide with Children’s Day celebrations. 

Book exhibition
