The day started with the preparation of a beautiful flower carpet (Pookalam), which was set up in the school campus. Students were encouraged to bring locally available flowers from home, which were creatively arranged to create a vibrant and intricate design, symbolizing the festive spirit of Onam.
In addition to the flower carpet, the students took part in various traditional games, making the day even more enjoyable. Games such as Lemon and Spoon, Musical Chair, Balloon Games, Cup Games, and the ever-popular Tug-of-War were organized, and students participated with great excitement and energy.
