FrOM STuDENTS’ QuILLS

Do your best for nature See the nature crying, As the trees are dying The birds are making their nests For their best. But still they are not much left What can we do for their best? No one gets the fresh air Everything is polluted here. Let’s take a pledge To make the air fresh To clean all the dust And to always do your best.

Anya Rajan Class-VII

Grow More Trees Grow more trees, grow more trees If you can please, please, please, please! Trees are our friends, Don’t cut their stems. Trees are strong, They help us all day long. Trees are brown, trees are green, They try to keep, the environment clean. Trees give us shade, From the hot sun’s rays. Trees are the homes, Of the birds that roam. Trees are a treasure, a true great pleasure So, please don’t cut them, For your selfish leisure.
