hi all,
we are again here to share our daily routine with you today( 12th April).
We are very happy today , friends you know why because we are going to have three holidays Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Because Friday is Baishaki in Punjab, India
Baisakhi has a special meaning for the Sikhs. On this day in 1699, our tenth Guru, Gobind Singh, organized the order of the Khalsa. He
discontinued the tradition of Gurus in Sikhism by declaring the Granth
Sahib to be the eternal Guru of all Sikhs. To form the Khalsa Panth he
asked his followers to volunteer to be ready to lay down their lives to
save others. Five volunteers of five different castes were made the
Panj Piaras, who would lead the rest.
Basically a farmers' festival, Baisakhi is a time to enjoy before
beginning the hard work of harvesting and as such, its celebration
requires no prayers or fasting. However, people do go to temples after
taking a bath in the nearby river.
And Saturday is B.R. Ambedkar Jayanti
April 14th is the birthday of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar,
the Father of Indian Constitution. His full name is Bhimarao Ramji
Ambedkar and also known as Babasaheb. Indians observe his birthday to
commemorate his contribution to the Indian Society.
And of course Sunday and Sunday is always FUN DAY.
To celebrate 13th and 14 April we had special assemblies today in the morning .Where class VII & VIII sang group songs and class X & XII boys danced ("Bhangra" a Punjabi folk dance). Deepanshu of class V sang a very beautiful punjabi song.
It was fun ,we love going to school because the system of our school is not only studies studies and studies in every period we study through activities and you know being kids activities are always appreciated.
Hope you do the same in your school.
