Be a School Explorer
Aasha and Mohit form School Explorer Teams to check their school and make it better. Let’s explore with them!
Electricity Savers
- Teams check how electricity is used in school, like lights and fans.

- Fighting waste keeps the school clean and green.
- After exploring: Teams discuss what they found, what surprised or concerned them, and what made them proud.
Waste Management
Managing waste keeps our school clean and happy. Let’s learn how!
- Reduce waste by using only what we need and reusing items.
- Separate waste into wet (food peels) and dry (paper) categories for better management.
- Old newspapers are kept aside for recyclers, not thrown in bins.
- Different recyclers collect specific items, like paper or plastic, in our area.
- Fun example: Sorting waste is like organising a messy room to make it neat!
Let Us Be Cool
Some rooms feel cooler than others. Let’s find out why!
- Trees with shade keep classrooms cool and comfortable.
- Classrooms with windows let breezes in to lower the temperature.
- White roofs reflect the sun’s heat, unlike black surfaces that absorb it.
- These tricks help make our school a cool place to learn.
Dripping Water
Water is precious, but leaks waste it. Let’s see how to save it!
- Water Watchers check for dripping taps in school.
- Even small leaks waste a lot of water over time.
- Fixing leaks helps save water for everyone’s needs.
- Using water carefully keeps our school green and happy.
Greenery Around
Trees make our school beautiful and healthy. Let’s explore their role!
- Trees provide homes for birds, insects, and other living beings.
- They clean the air and give shade to keep the school cool.
- Planting and caring for trees makes our campus greener.
- Fun example: Trees are like school superheroes, cooling us and helping animals!
Traffic Signs
Safe roads around school are important. Let’s learn about traffic rules!
- Many accidents happen because people don’t follow traffic rules.
- Teams design signboards for the school gate with clear messages.
- Signs use simple words or symbols to guide drivers, parents, and students.
- Following the rules keeps the school area safe for everyone.
Fire Safety
Learning about fire safety helps us stay prepared. Let’s see what Mohit’s class learned!
- Fire safety sessions teach students how to stay safe from fire dangers.
- Being prepared makes everyone feel confident and secure.
- Knowing safety steps helps protect us if a fire happens.
- Mohit’s class attended a session to learn these important rules.

- Kindness and respect make school peaceful and welcoming.
- Waiting for our turn, using kind words, and helping others show care.
- Keeping places clean and behaving well makes everyone happy.
- Aasha, Mohit, and friends learned their actions help make school the best green place!
