The World Bicycle Day was celebrated on the 3rd of June, 2022 by the children of Junior School, Study Hall with great enthusiasm. An interactive session was conducted on Zoom, since the summer vacations are going on, by the teachers of Classes 1 to 5, highlighting the importance of using the bicycle as a means of transport.
The idea behind the World Bicycle Day is to recognize the versatility and uniqueness of the bicycle, as well as its reliability and sustainability as a mode of transportation.
The session began with a discussion on several topics like….the benefits of riding a bicycle, how the children learnt to ride a bike, did they give up riding after a fall, or were they motivated to try once again. The names of several brands of bicycles, their factories as well as their owners were also discussed. What made the session so special was that each child had an interesting anecdote to share with the class.
A PPT on the World Bicycle Day helped them to understand the benefits of cycling. A video of the celebration by Indian cyclists on 2021 World Bicycle Day was shared with the class. This too led to a thought provoking discussion among the children. They enumerated ways in which we could make our environment pure and clean. They also took a pledge to save our planet, Earth from the ill effects of pollution.
The children enjoyed making a badge for the World Bicycle Day. With great enthusiasm, they clicked pictures and made videos of themselves enjoying a biking experience with their family members.
