On 14th January 2022, children at Skool4Kidz Campus @ Sengkang Riverside Park celebrated Pongal Festival. Pongal is a harvest festival celebrated by the Hindu community. Children were dressed in Indian costume to commemorate this day.
Children were introduced to the festival through storytelling, visual aids and creating art crafts. They learnt to be grateful for what they have and to appreciate and respect other cultures and celebrations too.
After learning about the Pongal Festival and its traditions, the children created different crafts of items unique to the festival. They were excited to share the end products of their craftwork to their peers and teachers as well.
All in all, the children learnt to appreciate the culture and tradition of the Pongal Festival. Let’s not forget to continue respecting the diverse beliefs and cultures around us!
