I go with my little lantern…
The children in the lower school and kindergarten celebrated Martinmas with their traditional Lantern walk. Each class made paper lanterns of their own design, then set out on their walk singing lantern songs.
I go with my little lantern,
My lantern is going with me.
In heaven the stars are shining,
on Earth shines my lantern for me.
My light shines bright
Dark is the night
La bimba la bamba la bim.
My light shines bright
Dark is the night
La bimba la bamba la bim.
Lantern Walk song
They returned after their magical walk to a welcome hot chocolate and home-baked biscuits from the children in the older classes… It’s a beautiful way of lighting the darkness as winter arrives.
Le chal jiwan ki jyoti
Jiwan ki
Jyoti le chal
Akash mein chumke taare
Dharti pe chumke hum
Prakash jahan chalo wahan
Prakash jahan chalo wahan
Laxmi and Sita and Ram.
