HOLI

The Festival of colours.......
Nowhere in the world do you find people actually colouring each other in pink,red,green,blue, celebrating spring. People dance and enjoy themselves.
We children specially look forward to Holi because on this day 'We can do a lot of naughty things like pouring full buckets of coloured water on everyone - even grown ups'
' We don't get scolded. It is a real  fun day for us'
' We buy water pistols and have water fights with all the children of our neighbourhood.'

DUSSEHRA
When the  demon king Ravana carried away Sita, Lord Rama rushed to save her & killed the 10 headed king of Lanka. Every year we celebrate this victory of Good over Evil. Little children buy bows and arrows and we, of course, get a holiday !!!!!!!

DIWALI  - The Festival of Lights.......
After killing the demon Ravana, Lord Rama returned to his Kingdom. To show their joy, the citizens decorated the city with lights. They danced & sang & burst crackers.  However, as crackers pollute the environment we decided not to burst crackers and had a campaign in our school called, "SAY NO TO CRACKERS".
We were so successful that even the government praised our efforts, in the newspapers !!!!!

REPUBLIC DAY

26th January is celebrated as Republic Day. On this day in 1950, India became a sovereign, democratic, socialist and secular republic. We began governing ourselves according to the constitution.  In Delhi it is a day of great activities and excitement. A grand parade is held. The President of India takes the Salute. All the three wings of our Armed forces - The ARMY, The NAVY and The AIR FORCE participate in this parade. The bands play several patriotic songs. Lots of children in colourful dresses from the schools of Delhi also participate in the parade. At night, all the important government buildings are lit.

August 15, 1947 was a very important day in our History. On this day after a long struggle, India became an independent country.Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, our first Prime Minister, unfurled the tricolour for free India for the first time at the historic Red Fort in Delhi.It is not only a day to rejoice but it is also a day to remember those brave men who suffered and died so that our country could be free. The uniqueness of the Independence struggle was, that, it was non-violent.
Every year, we have a grand function at our school  to  celebrate Independence Day .

In India Children's Day is celebrated on November 14th. It is the birthday of our first Prime Minister. He used to really love children.We have a special assembly at school.

Every Day is Children's Day.
