when fathers of our playschool children came to
their class to spend some quality time with
their little ones. Lots of fun activities were
in store for them. First dad and his baby danced
to some music. Then it was time for the little
ones to show their beading skills. They made
necklaces with beads for their fathers which the
proud Dads happily wore. Imagination and
creativity were on display when Dad and baby
played with transport toys and wooden blocks. It
was wonderful to see a very happy father and his
baby walk hand in hand as they went home after a
fun filled day in school.

GURU PURNIMA
Firstly, the children were
told about the meaning of this festival and how
it is important. The word Guru means a person
who teaches us and provides us with knowledge
like our teachers, parents and grandparents.
Purnima means full moon. So we offer prayers to
our gurus on this day of July, when we can see
the complete moon, in the honor of a sage (wise
person) called Vyas. We also conduct puja of
books as it gives us knowledge. Children
celebrated Guru Purnima by colouring a worksheet
of a teacher.
