The Blue Arteries Of Our Planet Earth

One of our ISA activities for the children of Std. 2 was a comparative study of the longest river in India, River Ganges, with three other rivers of the world - River Nile from Africa, River Amazon from South America and River Thames from U.K.

An  introduction  to  the  topic:

Ms. Namita Ambasht introduced the topic to our children of Std 2 through an interactive session.
