Florescent Public School organised a craft activity for the students of Pre-Primary to Class 5. In Gujarat, Makar Sankranti is celebrated as Uttarayan. The festival sees every family flying colourful kites from their rooftops with great enthusiasm. Students of pre-primary made colourful kite and stuck it on a paper and making a beautiful greeting card out of it. Whereas the students of grade 1 to 5 made a beautiful kite with a face representing it flying high like a bird. It’s a festival of togetherness and delicacies. The main cuisine of this festival is a dish made of Til and jaggery that add sparks to the festival. Kite flying is also a great part of the festival during the day the whole family enjoys kite flying and at that time the sky is filled with a lot of colorful and different design kites.
Florescent Public School hopes the students had fun in their activities and wishes a safe and happy Uttarayan.
