Muscat: To mark this year's Tree Day, students in Grades IV, V and VI at The Sultan's School took part in plant-themed activities and lessons dedicated to highlight their importance and beauty. The youngsters were joined by kindergarten students to plant trees in the school ground, while budding writers were encouraged to express their appreciation for them through poetry.
All students had the opportunity to buy plants of their own to take home to feed, water and watch grow as they learned about the value of trees. They were given coconut juice and date milk to illustrate the natural health benefits they provide. The message of the day was reinforced as the social studies club distributed their monthly magazine, which was dedicated to Tree Day and filled with facts, information and stories about caring for trees and their role in the environment.
