World Environment Day celebration 2023

-
Every day, we make decisions that have an impact on the environment, the climate, and many animals. There are numerous things we can do to "choose wild" and minimise our environmental impact to provide more space for wild animals and plants, from what we eat to the products we use.

World Environment Day is marked on June 5 every year with the motive to shed light on the awful predicament that modern humanity faces. People have become accustomed to eating microplastics, breathing polluted air, and watching as other life forms are pushed onto the brink of extinction.

The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, which took place in Stockholm, Sweden, from June 5–16, 1972, is where World Environment Day got its start. World leaders and delegates resolved to create World Environment Day to promote awareness and action during this summit in recognition of the urgent need to address environmental concerns.

Since the 5th of June 1972, a new environmental topic has been emphasised to discuss and focus on so that that particular issue can be resolved as soon as possible. These have covered topics such as climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, sustainable consumption, and renewable energy.

Communities, organisations, governments, and individuals from all around the world have joined forces to create World Environment Day, which is now a truly global movement. It inspires people and communities to take action for the welfare of the earth by serving as a catalyst for environmental projects, regulatory changes, and public awareness campaigns.

The theme for World Environment Day on 5 June 2023 focuses on solutions to plastic pollution under the campaign #BeatPlasticPollution.


The world is being engulfed by plastic. More than 400 million tonnes of plastic are produced every year, half of which is designed to be used only once. Of that also, less than 10 percent is recycled. Today, plastic is one of the biggest threats to the planet.

World Environment Day 2023 is hosted by Cote d'Ivoire in partnership with the Netherlands, which pledges to find solutions to plastic pollution.

GCTE Thycaud organised Environmental Day observance at the General Hall of the college. 

The event began with the rendition of prayer song by Kochupathumma M. Kavya Sagar compered the programme. The welcome speech was given by programme coordinator and Assistant Professor in Natural Science department, Dr.Rajashree K. The event was officially inaugurated by the principal Dr. AV. Sujith by lighting the lamp. He delivered the inaugural speech and pronounced his Environment Day message. Felicitation addresses were given by Assistant Professor in Educational Psychology and IQAC coordinator Mr.Rahul VR and College Union Chairman(2022), Ms. Gayathri BL. Parvathy from 1st year B.Ed, Metilda from 2nd year B.Ed and the students of 2nd year M.Ed recited poems on environmental themes. Rajalakshmi SR from 1st B.Ed Natural Science Department presented the theme of the Environment day 2023. The programme came to a halt with Kavya Sagar pronouncing the vote of thanks.

The sapling of a mango tree given to Dr.AV Sujith was planted on the campus premise on 7th June 2023. The student teachers of first B.Ed were present on the occasion.

Teaching Practice: Phase 1: Day 22

I engaged two periods for 8E class today. Since the lesson 'The Nightingale and the Rose' was completed, I gave the learners a few activities based on the same. A story board completion chart was displayed and the learners were randomly called to complete it. After the task, the teacher confirmed the answers and cleared doubts.  I also made the learners do a passage editing activity and error correction activity. During the last period, I conducted a test for them on the poem 'The Sower'. The examination was held for 15 marks and for thirty minutes duration. Since I could not take print outs of the question paper, I wrote down the questions on the board and asked the learners to write down the answers.  After collecting the answer sheets, I asked the pupils to complete a few activities,  including poster making activity given in their English Reader and submit the works by Monday.

Christmas was traditionally a Christian festival celebrating the birth of Jesus, but in the early 20th century, it also became a secular family holiday, observed by Christians and non-Christians alike.Popular customs of Christmas  include exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, attending church, sharing meals with family and friends and, of course, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive.

I engaged two periods for 9F today and completed the story 'The Last Leaf' for them. Then I gave necessary instructions to them so that they could complete the textual exercises on their own. I asked the pupils to come up with alternative titles for the lesson . I also dictated to them notes on the poem 'On Killing a Tree' which they took down in their notebooks.  For 8E class, I continued with the story 'A Day in the Country' using vocabulary and powerpoint slides as aid. I had to rush the lesson a bit since their portions were pending and revision classes were about to begin prior to the Christmas examination.  Preparations for the upcoming state-level vocational fests have already begun. My fellow teacher trainees took Physical Education classes during the second and third periods. Manju ma'am asked me to hold a retest for 9F students who could not attend the mid-term examination on Monday. Overall, the day went as usual, in an uneventful mann...
