Report on the Activity
From September 16 to September 21, our school celebrated “National Nutrition Week,” engaging students from grades 1 to 5. This initiative emphasises the critical role of proper nutrition in our lives and the necessity of maintaining a balanced diet to support healthy growth. Many individuals in India and around the world suffer from malnutrition, highlighting the need for awareness and education about healthy eating.
The week commenced with a school assembly where fifth-grade students delivered speeches on the importance of a balanced diet, explaining its vital role in our daily lives. Various activities were organised throughout the week for all grades, promoting interactive learning about nutrition. On the final day, September 21, students brought healthy lunch boxes, showcasing the week’s lessons. Fifth graders took on the role of junior health mentors for their younger peers in grades 1 to 4. They presented topics such as “Food as Medicine,” “The Importance of Water,” “Balanced Diet,” and “The Disadvantages of Junk Food.” Through their research and presentations, they effectively communicated the importance of healthy eating habits.
This week not only educated students about nutrition but also fostered a sense of responsibility in promoting healthy lifestyles among their peers.
