Under the theme PLEAT BY PLEAT-Traversing the World of Sustainable Fabrics, Express Yourself activities were conducted for grades I to VIII in Podar International Schoo #Sara City.
The theme aims to give our students an opportunity to discover the different kinds of fabrics they are surrounded by. Class wise activities like Show and Tell- Sari Play, Art and Design Activity-Stam it, My Spruced-Up Uniform and Artisans the Untold Story Scrabble, were conducted wherein the students got a common platform to explore fabrics. Public speaking skills, analytical skills, thinking skills and expressive capabilities were developed by these activities. Students were very curious to know about the process of turning fibre into fabrics, different types of fabrics, how the textile industry runs and so on. Students gained a lot from these activities. Respected principal ma'am guided all the teachers and students with regard to the importance of fabric and the role it plays in our daily lives, the impacts of fabric pollution on the environment, and the different solutions and ideas to reduce its hazardous effect on the ecosystem. Here are some glimpses of the activities.
