Apeejay School, Kharghar, recently turned into a joyful hub of learning without books and bags. As part of Poshan Pakhwada (Nutrition Fortnight), students explored the value of health, nutrition, fitness, creativity and mindfulness through a cheerful medley of extra circular activities

The day commenced with morning meditation, inspiring the young students to stay connected with their thoughts, enlighten their minds, and prepare themselves for a wellness-infused day.

Fun met fitness soon after as the students took on the challenges of interclass matches in kho-kho and football, that saw the air reverberate with excited shouts and laughter shrieks.

The students finetuned their motor skills as they dived into a colourful world where bananas became brushstrokes and apples inspired art,  showcasing their fruits and veggies more—not just on paper, but on plates.

Reflecting on the fact that good habits and self-discipline are also part of nutrition—for the mind, the students referred their school almanacs to understand how its values and rules, helped shape their days in enhancing their holistic performance.

The Balanced Diet Workshop served as a catalyst for the students to make healthier lifestyle choice while incorporating grains, pulses, dairy, fruits, water as part of nutritious meal. An engaging discussion on the benefits of traditional Indian meals saw them relate their learnings with the healthy home made lunches, a lesson they could literally digest.

The Talent Hunt proved to be the befitting grand finale. Whether it was storytelling, singing, mimicry or dancing, each participant got their moment in the spotlight that served as perfect reminder that every child shines—in their own unique way amidst applause and cheer.
