PODAR WORLD SCHOOL CELEBRATES JANMASHTAMI IN THE NEW NORMAL WAY
Janmashtami is celebrated as a symbol of the end of darkness and rooting out of the evil forces. Podar world School Sherkhi celebrated this splendid and colourful festival in full swing – both virtually as well as physically.
The celebrations were planned in a way to make sure that apart from celebrating and enjoying themselves they also develop some important skills. The little ones celebrated it virtually by dressing up as Radha and Krishna and enjoying tasty treats fed by their mother to highlight the importance of nutritious food, they also created hand puppets depicting the birth of Lord Krishna with a message of victory of good over evil. Through role play they learnt 21st century skills such as communication, expression, critical thinking, art integration and also depicted the strong bond between mother and child. Students recited shlokas and explained the meanings, conducted quiz and also created videos depicting the significance of janmashtami. The presentations depicted the varied images of life from birth to manhood transporting one to the world of splendour, colour, myth and legend. It was a beautiful celebration with joyous melody and loads of laughter.
Since the school had the opportunity to celebrate the day with the students present in the school premises, the students were able enjoy 'matki phod' in a new way by taking into consideration the covid norms and maintaining social distance. The celebration was concluded with music, dance and chants of Krishna upholding the message that "Every moment of life is worth a Celebration. The more you praise and celebrate life, the more there is in life to celebrate.”
