Dancing with silk cloths.
To enhance their dance interest we decided to do a dance activity with colorful silk scarves. We provided them colourful performance silk cloths to hold while dancing.
It helps them strengthen their muscles and bones, improve their flexibility and coordination, build endurance. Best of all, dance is a lifelong practice that a child can pursue seriously or enjoy more casually.

Celebrating Diwali and Experiencing Henna
Today, we embraced the joy of Diwali, the Festival of Lights, in our kindergarten! The children were filled with excitement as we explored the meaning of this special celebration, known for its beautiful lights, vibrant colors, and festive traditions.
A special thank you goes to Nimar’s mum, who took the time to join us and share a memorable experience of henna with the children. She introduced them to the art of henna, explaining that it’s a tradition for many families during Diwali. The children watched in awe as she created intricate, beautiful designs on their hands. Each child was excited to see their unique pattern and proudly showed off their designs to one another, marveling at the fine details and how cool the henna felt as it dried.
Through this experience, the children gained a deeper understanding of cultural traditions and celebrations. They asked questions, shared their own family traditions, and expressed appreciation for the henna designs on their hands. Celebrating Diwali together with henna created a meaningful cultural connection in our classroom, allowing the children to see the beauty of different traditions.
