All about Water Pollution at UWCEC!
Pollution is the biggest problem facing us today. As we all know, water is an important element in everyone’s lives and a lot of water pollution comes from human activities like – sewage, using pesticides and fertilizers in farms, waste water and chemical discharge from factories, silt release from construction sites and increased litter from throwing trash.
At UWCEC, the teachers taught the Sr.Kg. students about the hazards of water pollution and how human beings and all plants and animals get affected by it. Students were also explained some more causes of water pollution due to oil spills, pesticides, construction work and festivals.
They were all encouraged to start reducing water pollution by becoming more conscious about their daily activities. Even during festivals they were told to do things responsible e.g. making Ganesh idols from Shadu mati, using non-toxic colours during festivals, not bursting crackers and more.
The concept was reinforced through an art activity and a story based on water pollution. In this way all students understood the concept of water pollution and how to keep it under control.

Makar Sankranti Celebration at UWCEC! 🎉🎉🎉
Festivals are the lifeline of Indian culture. Makar Sankranti is a festival that marks the beginning of the new year and signifies the arrival of spring and the start of a fresh harvest season. It is celebrated all over India in different ways like Lohri in North India, Makar Sankranti in West India, Bihu in East India, and Pongal in South India.
As it is important for our children to understand our traditions and how we celebrate different festivals in different parts of India, UWCEC celebrated Makar Sankranti in school on 12th Jan 2024.
Everyone was dressed in black clothes on that day. Students were shown a PowerPoint Presentation related to harvest festivals celebrated in different parts of India. Teachers explained the significance of black clothes on this day and about the exchange of Til Gul on the day of Sankranti.
Different activities based on Sankranti were done by all 3 grades. Teachers also taught them about sharing and caring and how we should forget all our past problems and grudges and become friends with everyone. Students flew their kites and enjoyed the songs related to kite flying.
At the end Teachers Said “Til Gul ghya god god bola” and gave Til gul to all the students.
