Mangaluru, Oct 9: Hurrah! It’s a Veggie Day! Green, purple, orange, red all of these from the soil bed! Vegetables are an essential component of the food consumed, thereby being a vital contributor to nutrition. To make the UKG students understand this concept, Mount Carmel Central School, Mangaluru had a joyful veggie day celebration recently.

Children generalized their learning through their class project, when the plants of some vegetables were shown in their totality, followed by video presentation to know the benefits of vegetables for a healthy immune system and growth. Children were enthused as they were watching these videos and some even had a few queries.

This was supported with hands on activities of art and craft. They enjoyed the day’s snacks of green salad. A visit to the nearby vegetable garden reinforced their learning. It was a happy moment to see the children singing rhymes related to the vegetables. At the end, they carried home a craft with a message “we shall grow our own vegetables for better nutrition and good health”.
