Hari Om Parents,
We started our class by writing Likhita Japa (writing the name of any Ishta devata god's name) and chanted Daily Prayers.
Congratulations to our Gita Yajna excellent chanters Divit and Ridah.
We discussed our upcoming annual play which we are having on June 6th. We have decided on Sacred Land of India, Saints as our theme. Please check and let us know if your child cannot participate.
We learnt what asanas are and did surya namaskara. It was a fun activity for all of us.
We finalized on the script and characters we want to play.
The kids who have confirmed to participate in the play are as below
Shravas
Ayan Vittlani
Ayan Karthikeyan
Divit
Anvi
Ridah
Satwick
We are expecting Maya and Sidharth also will be joining us. Please get back to us via email or whatsapp confirming your child's participation.
It was time for our Grade 3 play followed by pledge hence we all headed to our Prayer hall.
