A wake up call from Sai School of Harrow pupils raising awareness of our threatened environments has been the central theme for each year group this term. Each class has worked on a range of issues, from the Arctic to Rainforests, From the Great Barrier Reef to the Amazon.

Tied into the same theme, Sai School organised a Gayatri event on Sunday 6th May as a Heal our Planet initiative. About 500 supporters and guests attended the event where different musicians chanted the Gayatri mantra, the most sacred prayer from the Rig Veda dedicated to Savitur (The Solar Energy and Sustainer of Life).

Many guests commented on the excellent visuals during the chanting where images of Planet Earth and quotes from famous people like Sir David Attenborough were displayed to inspire everyone. Children’s projects were displayed within the School for all guests to see how children wanted us to be responsible for our actions, and how they want to stand up to protect the planet.

Year 6 pupils created an underwater scene teaming with marine life, with a dead whale spilling out plastic bottles as you can see in the photo. Some of the children’s videos can be viewed on Sai School of Harrow face book page, where children as young as 6 are talking about Reusing, recycling and you will see how incredibly passionate they feel.
