A hands-on Ganesh Chaturthi tradition at Walnut School
A hands-on Ganesh Chaturthi tradition at Walnut School
Students create eco-friendly Ganpati idols in school and take them back home just a week before Ganesh Chaturthi. This inculcates a sense of responsibility and love toward Nature among our students, while being part of our wider festival celebrations at Walnut School. The shadu mati is provided by the school. Students have to bring basic stuff like old cloth, bowl for water, old newspapers to lay out, toothpicks or matchsticks to make designs, paint brush to smoothen out the cracks etc.
Students of KG to Std. 5 do this activity with their parents on an Electric Saturday morning
Students of Std 6 to 10 do this activity independently, on a school day, during school hours.
At Walnut School, festivals are not just celebrated — they are experienced, created, and cherished by every student.
