The students of Grade V at Delhi Public School, Chandigarh, participated in the EcoTales Live – Storytelling Competition on 23rd April 2025, in celebration of Earth Day. The event aimed to nurture creativity while raising awareness about environmental issues among young learners. Divided into two rounds, the competition featured compelling eco-themed stories that showcased the students’ ability to combine imagination with messages of sustainability, conservation, and the importance of protecting the planet.

Using voice modulation, gestures, and props, the students captivated their audience, presenting narratives that effectively highlighted pressing environmental challenges like climate change and wildlife conservation. Their storytelling not only entertained but also conveyed powerful messages about the need for a sustainable future.

The competition was a resounding success, leaving everyone in the audience inspired by the students’ creativity and dedication. EcoTales Live truly demonstrated the power of storytelling in fostering environmental responsibility among the next generation.

In celebration of Earth Day, the young adventurers of Class 3 spread their wings on a delightful journey to Chandigarh Bird Park — a magical haven where nature sings and feathers flutter.

As the gates opened, the air filled with excitement and birdsong. The students stepped into a world alive with colour and chirps — a lush green paradise where birds from across the globe flutter. Wide-eyed and full of wonder, the children spotted radiant blue macaws, graceful swans, chirping lovebirds, and so many other feathery friends.

Each step brought a new discovery. Some birds strutted proudly, while others flew in playful loops. With their trusty diaries in hand, the students became tiny scientists — observing, sketching, and noting the brilliant colours, different beaks, fluttering wings, and curious calls. Their scribbles and sketches were full of excitement, laughter, and “Look over there!” moments that will soon become part of classroom stories and projects.
But this visit wasn’t just fun — it carried a beautiful message. On this Earth Day, the children learned that birds need clean skies, safe homes, and people who care. They promised to be kind to nature, to save water, plant trees, and always watch the skies with wonder.

By the end of the trip, the bus ride back was filled with chirpy chatter and happy hearts. The students returned not just with facts about birds, but with a new love for the planet we all share.
It was truly a day when learning took flight — and every little heart came back soaring.

Let’s keep the skies alive with wings, and our world full of care!

The Green Heroes Have Arrived!

In a spirited tribute to Earth Day, Grade IV students donned capes of creativity and courage at the ‘Green Legends – Create a Superhero!’ competition held on April 23, 2025.

Each child stepped into the shoes of a self-invented eco-superhero—bold names like Water Warrior, Red Wriggler, and EcoNova filled the air, each symbolizing a unique power and purpose to protect our precious planet. Armed with eye-catching props and bursting with enthusiasm, the young heroes delivered impactful one-minute presentations that captured both hearts and minds.

The event was a brilliant blend of imagination and environmental awareness, igniting creativity, boosting confidence, and planting seeds of responsibility. The excitement and earnestness of these budding changemakers lit up the room—proving that when it comes to saving the Earth, the future is indeed in bright, capable hands.

On Tuesday, April 22, students from Classes III to V eagerly gathered for their first house meeting of the new academic session. Dressed in their bright house T-shirts, they proceeded to their respective meeting venues, guided by enthusiastic house wardens and in-charges.

The interaction fostered a deep sense of camaraderie and belonging among the students. Energized and inspired, they now look forward to a year filled with vibrant house events, spirited contests, and enriching thematic morning assemblies.
