TAS-Happy-Pre-Schooling

A Happy Pre-Schooling

When a child is born, we have a lot to think about. We plan for his/her better future. Amongst all the facilities that modern parents wish to provide for their progeny, Pre Schooling is the primary one. Especially in nuclear families, where a mother works, the Pre School fulfills a very important function, providing knowledge and values. Human beings are social animals and their progress is linked to the kind of environment that they are in. At TAS we believe that when children are nurtured and brought up with good values they shine brighter in the future. 

PRESCHOOL PROMOTES THE GROWTH OF CHILDREN: 

Pre-school plays a vital role in nurturing and activating the child’s emotional, physical, and mental growth. At TAS we believe that our pre-primary school boosts the social skills and ability to work in groups. At TAS teachers build a warm and nurturing environment to keep the children #HappyAtSchool.

With various fun activities, children develop motor skills such as gross motor skills & fine motor skills. They also learn physical skills like jumping, and kicking. Pre-school is the perfect time where children develop the cognitive skills that enhance brain development such as Pattern Recognition, category formation, and working memory. With this they also learn the differences in objects, they develop imagination on various topics. 

We understand this phase is very crucial, as it’s their first baby step of being on their own without parents, at TAS with a friendly and warm environment they learn how to spread their wings and fly on their own.

MANNERS & DISCIPLINE: 

Children’s sense of competence and self-worth grows as they learn to take care of themselves and help others. Teachers appeal to a young child’s desire to engage in activities by offering them chances to help out in the classroom. With these small steps, the child learns many good habits which includes a change in eating behavior, respecting elders, and helping in household chores. Children are expected to wash their hands before snack time, keep personal belongings in their respective places, and put away toys before moving to a new activity. Such small steps help them inculcate discipline and become well mannered.  

MOTOR SKILLS:

Coming down to the fun part, every child loves to play. Their imagination knows no bounds. Playing helps them develop motor skills. Physical exercise and body coordination help them understand and evaluate their surroundings well. Pre schooling provides several fun activities for children to run, climb, and play active games. Children are challenged through a variety of activities that help them build their hand-eye coordination and balance. 

VOCABULARY & COMMUNICATION SKILLS:

Children love to repeat and imitate their elders. They are extremely curious and observant. Working on these skills we engage them in various songs with numbers and alphabets. They are kept engaged in activities like read-aloud stories and imaginative narrations. The vast library of puzzles and block building games that the Preprimary houses, enables the students to engage in this creative pursuit daily.

Counting games and board games build children’s understanding of numbers, categories, and sequence, which supports maths learning later. Putting together puzzles encourages children to notice patterns, plan solutions, and develop problem-solving techniques. Children also develop good observation skills and learn the description of numbers and shapes. 

Let’s face it, parents need to spend quality time with their children. That’s where pre-school steps in. It allows parents to have their own time and focus on their work. and when they are home they get the time with their children and the learning is done in school.  At TAS we give you the free time you need and your child will be having fun and being #HappyAtSchool.

Effects of Disposed-Facemasks

Effects of disposed face masks on carbon footprint

I was walking back home from my daily stroll and much to my disgust amongst a pile of litter were two face masks discarded on the footpath. What struck me hard was not only the potential health risk of used masks being discarded like this during the pandemic but also the whole range of environmental issues created by people littering these non-biodegradable items as well as the long term impact their increased use is likely to have on our ecosystem

The demand for face masks from the public has been escalating as a result of the Indian government recommending their use. Also, the change in policy by the World Health Organization (WHO) advising that people should use face masks in places where social distancing isn’t possible will undoubtedly result in a massive increase in their number. Saikiran Kannan in his article ‘How Covid-19 renews the world’s plastic problem’ cited a report in which ‘estimated a need of 1 billion masks in Italy for the month of May soon after the lifting of its lockdown phase’. It went on to say that ‘If even only 1 percent of masks were discarded incorrectly’ and ended up as litter it would result in ‘10 million masks per month dispersed in the environment.’

The upsurge in face mask use has led to an alarming rise in personal protective equipment (PPE) including face masks used by the general public being thrown away on the streets, parks, and beaches instead of being put in a bin. In an interview on BBC of Jemma Bere, policy and research manager for Keep Wales Tidy, on the problem of face masks and littering said that “There is an environmental hazard because they contain plastic which is really damaging to our wildlife and our waterways.’ Apart from the significant danger to wildlife and public health, the BBC report identifies that it is having a direct impact on volunteers who would normally go and pick up litter on their daily walk avoiding doing so.

Worryingly there is already evidence of plastic pollution caused by masks. The OceansAsia team has reported finding masses of surgical masks washing up on the shoreline threatening the health of oceans and marine life.

There has been research carried out by several organizations on the impact of face masks on the environment. Eco chain, research identified that the CO2 footprint of a self-made cotton face mask is 20% higher than the footprint of a single-use plastic mask. This they stated was because the cotton fabric has a relatively high CO2 footprint throughout its production cycle. Although the researchers acknowledged that this does not give a complete picture because the use of the two kinds of masks is so different and it doesn’t take into account the number of single-use plastic face masks that would be used over a similar timespan to the life of a cotton mask. When they did carry out analysis over thirty days the results changed dramatically in favour of the cotton mask.

Research from a renowned Institute has also explored the environmental impact of single-use and various reusable face masks. Their Life Cycle Assessment showed that the use of reusable masks, including washing them, significantly reduces the amount of material ending up as waste. They point out that ‘66,000 tonnes of contaminated plastic waste and 57,000 tonnes of plastic packaging’ would be generated ‘if every one of us in India used just one disposable surgical mask each day for a year’. It concluded that single-use plastic masks would result in ‘ten times more climate change impact than using reusable cotton masks’.

From our review of various articles and reports of the environmental issues as a result of the increasing use of single-use face masks, I have identified that:

There is a climate change impact of using single-use plastic masks however it has to be acknowledged that some single-use face masks such as N95 respirators or their equivalent have an important role in protecting those at the greatest risk of infection.

More litter with the potential of plastics ending up in our oceans if single-use plastic masks are discarded or disposed off irresponsibly.

Contamination of recyclables will happen if the public puts face masks in recycling containers creating more waste.

A growth in waste for disposal or treatment will happen due to the increased use of single-use face masks and because many face masks contain materials that cannot be recycled or do not biodegrade.

If recycled cloth-based face masks are going to become a common accessory then guidance on how and when to disinfect them so that they can safely be reused is imperative as well as a concerted campaign to encourage their use over single-use plastic masks where appropriate.
