In a heartwarming gesture, Royal Global School honoured the grandparents of the school by celebrating Grandparents’ Day for the students of Nursery to grade 5.
The grandparents were welcomed with a ceremonial tilak and axomiya gamocha. The volunteers at the reception desk could be seen touching their feet and holding their hands to guide them to the school. 8 great grandparents came for the event. It was heart-warming to see the children taking charge of the wheelchair and helping a few great-grandparents for the entire duration.
Grandparents Day was an extravagant event where a plethora of activities ranging from sports to music, dance, instruments, Robotics, etc were offered to the grandparents.
For the Sports enthusiasts there were sports like Badminton, Table Tennis, Chess, Squash, Carrom, Pool, Archery, Shooting, Horse riding, and Billiards. There was a Game zone where the grandparents played games and made their grandchildren proud by winning exciting gifts.
The ones with a cultural bent of mind got an opportunity to be a part of the Karaoke sessions, and various dance forms like Ballroom dance, Flamenco, Bihu, Bollywood dance, etc. They tried their hands at instruments like guitar, violin, keyboard, flute, and drums.
For the book lovers the Junior and Senior School library was open to them where they could flip through the pages of perhaps their own childhood novels. They allowed their creativity to flow on the canvas with vibrant colours in the Painting corner.
The celebration's highlight was interacting with Iris- the teacher robot and taking a tour of the VR lab. They were fascinated when the VR set gave them a tour of the Badrinath and Kedarnath pilgrimage sites.
They were given a joy ride in the Toy train which they thoroughly enjoyed.
As the grandparents bid adieu to the school, they had a lot of good things to share. Almost everyone said that they had relived their childhood and had a memorable time which they would cherish for the days to come.
