1C Class Assembly – Diwali

On 9 October 2023, children from class 1C performed the much-anticipated assembly with zeal and enthusiasm on the topic Diwali. The word Diwali means “row of light” in Sanskrit. The festival symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. It is also a time to honour the goodness of wealth and prosperity, Lakshmi. 

The assembly commenced with a shloka, followed by a prayer dance. This was then followed by the thought for the day and a brief talk about what Diwali is. Students were also a part of the acrostic poem through which they expressed how each one of us can relate to Diwali as an individual.  The children had a wonderful time singing songs and dancing to the Diwali beats. The children conveyed the message that we should all shine our inner lights in order to maintain a lovely and bright environment.
