The 15th of August is the most important day in the history of India. On this fortunate day, our country became free after many centuries. The British left India with bag and baggage. We celebrate this day with great zeal every year. This year too, great preparations were made in the school. Everyone was eager to take part in the Independence Day Celebration.
Teachers painted the tricolour flags on the hands of each kid. At the KG entrance, there was a tricolour activity. Nursery kids drew a tricolour tree while our Junior KG kids drew a tricolour flag with crumpled paper. Our Senior KG kids did free drawing in tricolour.
The KG Independence Day celebration started on a patriotic note with the National Anthem sung beautifully by all the kids and played divinely on the synthesizer by the teacher. It ended with patriotic slogans of “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”.
The teacher explained to the students how India achieved independence from the British rule. She also showed the photos of various freedom fighters who fought for this independence. The kids were also explained the significance of the colour of our flag and the three forces – Navy, Army, Air force which protect our country even today!
The students of Sr. Kg worked with great zeal and presented a song – “Ham sab bhartiya hain”. The feeling of patriotism could be felt in these kids! They also sang the most famous patriotic song – “Vande Mataram”. The presentation was truly enthralling as our young children displayed their talents.
The event got even more interesting as the teacher told a story about our freedom fighter, Lokmanya Tilak, who questions his teacher on why he should be punished when he’s done no wrong! The kids enjoyed this story very much.
Lastly, a video of a little soldier fighting for his country was shown to the kids. It was very inspirational and caught the kids’ attention! It showed how the little boy wanted to be a soldier who could fight for the country, when he grows up!
The event ended by thanking all the teachers involved. It was a rich learning experience for the students of KG who cherished the value of freedom and patriotism.
