Qaranqasho is a celebration that occurs in the middle of Ramadan.
Children get the opportunity to dress up in the finest traditional costumes and visit their neighbourhood with their friends, going from door to door singing special songs and collecting sweets.
Here, at MGPS, we celebrated Qaranqasho with great excitement and enthusiasm, as it is a way to reward children for successfully fasting for
the first half of the month and to encourage them to continue through the second half.
As a part of the festivities, children were given sweets and candies and treated to face painting, art and craft activities, a magic show, games and other fun activities. The celebration was like a carnival for the students, with jumping castles, pony rides, traditional Omani food, henna and moon watching.
It was a fun and memorable night as everyone at the school came together, had fun and enjoyed themselves. Qaranqasho indeed left an indubitable mark on innocent hearts.
