Caring for Our Planet – An Enlightening Guest Session

On 8th July 2025, the students of Grade 3 had the enriching opportunity to attend a guest lecture by Dr. Shamili, a dental surgeon and horticulture therapy specialist. The session was conducted as part of their Unit of Inquiry – Sharing the Planet. The session began with a thought-provoking question, “Where are we?”, which encouraged students to reflect on their place within the Earth’s ecosystem. Dr. Shamili facilitated an engaging and interactive discussion covering topics such as the diversity of life, the essential role of plants, the significance of ecosystems, and the balance of the food chain. She emphasized the urgent need to conserve natural resources and illustrated how small, everyday actions can significantly impact the well-being of our planet. The session concluded with a heartfelt Earth song and a pledge taken by the students to care for and protect the environment. This inspiring experience effectively bridged classroom learning with real-world values of sustainability, responsibility, and environmental stewardship.
