Independence Day Celebration 2021

The 75th Independence Day was celebrated on 13th August on different online platforms of Laxman Public School with a lot of patriotic fervour. A variety of age appropriate and enjoyable activities were planned out at different levels.

In pre-school, teachers got dressed up in tricolour to enthuse the little ones with patriotism. The little ones, too, were dressed up like national symbols (tiger, peacock etc). In classes 1 & 2, teachers performed a skit for their young students on the story of independence. There were other interesting activities for the young students like making culinary delights reflecting the tricolour. Besides this, a drawing competition titled “My India My Pride" was also held.

In junior school, too, the celebrations were marked with an interesting array of activities which included patriotic speeches, patriotic poem recitation, role plays, singing patriotic songs and dancing on patriotic numbers.

Besides this, children elaborated on the food and culture of India so as to reflect on the unity and diversity prevalent in the Indian culture. A quiz, too, on India's freedom struggle was held to empower and enlightened the students about the glorious past of India.

The middle and senior school, too, celebrated the occasion with age appropriate and interesting activities. Along with patriotic speeches, skits, patriotic songs and dances, Sanskrit Shlokas were recited showcasing the sentiment of nationalism. The sentiment of an Indian soldier and his family was brought forth in a beautiful Hindi poem. The origin and importance of national symbols was also discussed. At some places, students prepared a PowerPoint presentation on interesting facts about India. At other places, students discussed the role of unsung heroes of our freedom struggle. On a few online platforms, some very important events of Indian freedom struggle were elaborated upon.

Overall the celebration at all levels was a beautiful amalgamation of thoughts which brought out the feeling of nationality amongst one and all. The students as well as the teachers enjoyed the celebrations thoroughly.
