Students from all classes brought saplings and planted them in the school ground. They made posters and explained the importance of planting trees through slogans. They conveyed the message that trees and forests are not sufficient as compared to the total land area. We should plant more and more trees to preserve the environment. Students were told that trees help in providing oxygen, improving air quality, conserving water, preserving soil, supporting wild life and providing shelter, medicine and tools. The students enjoyed the planting process.

Students came dressed up in French costumes and brought the national flag of France. The students also presented a French classical ballet and brought different French cuisines in their lunch box. It was a great learning experience for students.

Intra School Debate competition

Sam International School, Dwarka, conducted an intra-school debate competition on the topic “Is online teaching better than classroom teaching?” to develop students’ public speaking skills.

Debate is a process that involves formal discussion on a particular topic. Logical consistency, factual accuracy and some degree of emotional appeal to the audience are the main elements in debating, where one side often prevails over the other party by presenting a superior “context” or framework of the issue. This was kept in mind while organising the debate. Students spoke eloquently both for and against the motion. The competition concluded with a kaleidoscope of thoughts and opinions.
