Holi Celebration at UWCEC!

Festivals in India strengthen social ties. Festivals are a time for people to come together and celebrate with their families and friends.

Holi is a festival of colors. It signifies the power of love and victory of good over evil. It marks the onset of spring. Families and friends come together, forgive each other and unite to enjoy together.

At UWCEC, the rituals of Holi were explained through a powerpoint presentation in which Holikadahan, Dhulivandan and Rang Panchami’s importance were explained. The importance of using natural and non-toxic colours, not to waste water, and not to put colours on animals were explained by the teachers.

Children did activities based on the Holi celebration. Children were asked to wear colorful dresses for playing colors. Songs were played and children played with natural colours. They enjoyed playing colours with friends, teachers and aunties.

Holi is a festival that brings people together and spreads joy and happiness. It was a colourful and memorable celebration at UWCEC.

As part of its commitment to experiential learning, UWCEC organized a field trip to the Yashwantrao Chavan Planetarium, where Sr. Kg. students experienced the magic of the cosmos firsthand.

The journey began with a stunning simulation of a starry night, leaving students in awe as they watched planets, stars, and galaxies unfold before them. 3D visual effects brought the universe to life, making concepts like black holes, the life cycle of stars, and space exploration both exciting and tangible.

At UWCEC, learning goes beyond textbooks, fostering curiosity and discovery. This trip deepened their understanding of the solar system, constellations, and space travel, sparking a love for science that will stay with them for years to come.
