‘Appreciate the work, people do for us’- value based project implemented for year 5 children

“Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.”-Booker T. Washington

Children in year 5G maintain a friendship club as the part of the Citizenship Studies. They had organized a cleaning session in the school to help the cleaners with the children in other two classes, year 5B and Year 5R yesterday, 25^th February 2014 from 2.30p.m to 4.00p.m to show appreciation for having the classrooms cleaned by the cleaners every day.

Children have learnt that they should be kind to everyone and show appreciation to those who do things for them, whom they cannot personally thank. They have also learnt that cleaners are also human beings and they should talk to them politely as they talk to other people.

They worked with enthusiasm having the spirit that they clean their own school; their second home.

They learnt and had fun helping the cleaners. This will have an impact on them that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Children in year 5 classes will carry out this project by doing it once a month.

I thank wholeheartedly the Principal Sir for his immense support and the proper guidance and also the parents for sending their children to make it a success even though the term test is around the corner.
