The Festival of Light

This week we have enjoyed learning about Diwali. We have looked at the country of India and how Hindu’s celebrate Diwali. We made our own Diya lamp out of clay – we had lots of fun squashing and squeezing the clay before deorating them using bright colours. Today we decorated our classroom with lights, shared a meal as a Reception class family as well as learning some Bollywood dance. Our outdoor areas is full of beautiful Rangoli patterns.
