Reflections Grade 6<br />
Volume 25<br />
Week of 18th<br />
March, 2013<br />
Assembly of Colors<br />
<strong>Pathways</strong> <strong>School</strong> Gurgaon followed the Tradition that was put in place the first year - we celebrated a Phoolon Ki Holi with flowers and music.
Demonstration on<br />
Making Natural Holi<br />
Colors<br />
On the nineteenth of March, middle school attended an assembly<br />
on eco-friendly and healthy Holi colors. The main presenter,<br />
Suparna ma’am, took us through the process of creating a warm<br />
yellow color, which was made from a variety of ingredients<br />
which gave the powder it’s sunshiny color. From marigolds to<br />
sandalwood oil, all the delicious aromas were amazing to smell.<br />
We were allowed to purchase these fragrant powders in<br />
packets. Red- made from rose petals, orange and yellow, which<br />
possessed similar ingredients, green- spinach water, and pink, for<br />
which they used soft flowers of the same color. Reflecting on<br />
this, it will be nice to play Holi with no fear of rashes or colors<br />
‘acidentally’ splashing on my eyes. These powders also don’t<br />
have that chemical-y, powder-y smell. It smells nature, and I<br />
honestly prefer that better.<br />

<strong>School</strong><br />
On 20 March 2013, Holi celebrations<br />
were held in the premises of Government<br />
school, Baliawas. The celebrations<br />
were aimed at sharing the spirit<br />
of the festival of colours & strengthening<br />
community ties. Our students<br />
participated enthusiastically in the<br />
event, singing songs, putting up a Holi<br />
dance & nukkad natak spreading the<br />
awareness of natural colours over<br />
chemical ones. This was followed by<br />
distributing sweets among the students.<br />
Celebrations came to a full<br />
swing when students of the Government<br />
school reciprocated by singing<br />
songs & dancing together. The celebration<br />
ended by distributing laddoos<br />
