MILK DAY CELEBRATIONS- JUNIOR SCHOOL (26 Nov 2022)
To mark the National Milk Day, on November 26th, TAFS Junior Wing celebrated it with lots of fun, learning activities, organised for them, during the whole week. This day is celebrated to commemorate Dr. Varghese Kurien's birthday who is credited with bringing about India's “white revolution” and making India the largest self-sustaining industry, the dairy farm.
During this week young TAFSians not only discussed and learned about the importance of milk in their growth but also learned to identify various milk products they eat during the day. They also expressed appreciation for their parents’ efforts in ensuring at least a glass of health, for them, every morning.
The children of UKG made cow masks and discussed about various sources of milk and the importance of not wasting it. They enjoyed some 'Moo....' songs to add to the fun!
Class 1 children made their head gear of abundant milk products, as an art and craft activity. They talked about their favourite milk products, why they liked it and proudly wore their head gears during the day.
The students of class 2 flaunted their tiffin with numerous milk products, that their parents had packed for them. They enthusiastically spoke about the dishes like milk cakes, paneer sandwiches and other mouth watering and healthy recipes. Teachers took this opportunity to introduce them to several body building food items.
The objective of this celebration was to create awareness about health and importance of calcium in their growing years and development of language skills.
