LAMP LIGHTING:
Lamp lighting, what do you remember? Before any good events, we started by lighting the lamp. Same way our meet was begun with a spark of light lit by the youngest one in the group.
Followed by a song “Mel padi chavanum..”
The room remained silent, when it was broken by an ‘ice breaking’ activity for us to feel free and comfortable.
OLD SCHOOL VISIT
A memory…….. It came alive when we visited our favourite mango tree and played a few games along with tea and snacks.
Back to the school……
