Diwali Celebrations @ Sancta Maria

The pre-primary section welcomed Diwali with great splendour. An assembly was held on 20th October, Monday, in honour of Diwali, wherein the students of PP2 jointly presented a skit demonstrating the reasons for celebrating the Festival of Lights, and how is it observed. The skit included a scene from Ramayana, where the students were dressed up as the main characters like Rama, Sita, Laxman and Hanuman. Students of PP1 and Nursery entertained the audience by singing two rhymes on Diwali, one each in English and Hindi.





Diwali goodies distributed in the classrooms brought much joy to the students. The students who were decked in traditional attire were delighted to learn about the festival. The excitement peaked when they were painting ‘diyas’ and decorating ‘torans’ rendering the day more colourful. Towards the end of the day, the students were excitedly sharing their ideas on celebrating Diwali once back in their homes. Needless to say, lighting the diyas they painted came on the top of their lists.
