Raksha Bandhan Celebration at UWCEC !  

Raksha Bandhan is a festival symbolizing the bond between brothers and sisters. This year, on this auspicious day, our tiny tots of UWCEC took part in a celebration by wearing traditional clothes and learning about traditional customs and rituals.

The day began with the little ones crafting rakhis in the shapes of lions, stars and ice creams. Their tiny hands worked diligently and their creativity knew no bounds as they decorated their rakhis with vibrant colors and glitter.

The celebration continued with the children tying the rakhis to plants. This activity was a beautiful way to teach the young minds about the importance of nurturing and protecting nature, just as they would protect their siblings. In a heart-warming gesture, the children also tied rakhis to the bus uncles. This act of kindness and gratitude was met with smiles and blessings, making the celebration even more special.

This Raksha Bandhan celebration at UWCEC was not just about tradition but also about spreading love, kindness, and responsibility. It was a day filled with joy, creativity and valuable lessons that the children will carry with them for years to come.

Tug of War played at UWCEC!

Recently, the tiny tots of Jr. Kg had an exciting time participating in a classic Tug of War game. They were divided into 2 teams where the children eagerly took their positions, ready to showcase their strength and teamwork. The game began with a loud cheer from both sides as the kids pulled the rope with all their might, laughing and encouraging each other.

As the little ones pulled the rope, they discovered that success comes from working together and supporting each other. Beyond the physical activity, this game also nurtured essential skills, such as communication and mutual support, in a fun and engaging way.
