Celebrating Gandhi Jayanti at UWCEC!

Gandhi Jayanti is celebrated to mark the birth anniversary of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who was famously known as Mahatma Gandhi. Preschools play a vital role in instilling the values of peace, non-violence and simplicity in young minds.

Keeping this in mind, our students were explained about Gandhi Jayanti at UWCEC. They learned the values and principles that he stood for like non-violence, truth and social justice through a powerpoint shown to them.

They were made to realize that each one of us has the power to make a difference by embracing the values that he stood for his entire life.

Teachers had planned various activities related to Mahatma Gandhi. The Nursery students made Gandhiji’s round spectacles out of paper, the Junior Kg. students colored Gandhiji’s picture and the Sr.kg. students colored templates of the charkha and the national flag.

The students learned the values of Mahatma Gandhi through these activities and  understood the importance of simple living and high thinking.

What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humour and comfort. They teach their children and grandchildren valuable life lessons like respecting others, helping people in need, moral and cultural values, etc. They are like warm sunshine in the garden of our lives, spreading love, wisdom, and joy.

To pay gratitude and to cherish the love and affection showered by our elders, UWCEC organized a Grandparents’ Day celebration with great enthusiasm. The stage was decorated with pictures of grandparents and grandchildren. There was music played in the background to welcome all Grandparents and they were given a beautiful butterfly badge.

The teachers had organized an activity where the grandparents and grandchildren together made puppets that symbolised grandparents. We could see the students guiding their grandpa and grandma to complete the activity. This was followed by a fun game of “glass pyramid ” which the grandparents enjoyed a lot. Winners were given gifts.

The grandparents shared their feedback about the event by pasting smiley faces on the feedback board. They also shared their experience with the UWCEC family. To cherish the memory of the event all grandparents took selfies at the selfie point. It was a day full of warmth, emotions and love and each face had a beautiful smile on it.
