TANABATA (STAR FESTIVAL)
MS. BAISALI PHANI (TEACHER)
According to legends, each year in the month of July, the Weaver Star and the Cow herder
Star traverse the Milky Way to renew their ancient bond of love. In Japan, this day is
celebrated with lively decorations and wishes written on long, narrow coloured strips of
paper. This is the Tanabata (Star Festival).
The children of LKG made a ‘Tanabata wish Tree’ with old newspapers and coloured
papers. On the tree they hung cut-outs of emojis with happy emotions. The children coloured
worksheets describing the various aspects of the festival. The children of UKG also joined
them to decorate the ‘Tanabata Wish Tree’.
