We had a great time during Culture Week! 

This week, we learned all about the Hindu festival: Diwali. 

 

We made beautiful Rangoli patterns using homemade, coloured rice...

 

Because Diwali means ’festival of light’, we sculpted and painted special diya lamps using clay...

We created informative fact files all about Diwali...

During Diwali, it is traditional for women to adorn their hands with henna. We designed and created amazing, Mehndi hands...

The traditional tale of Rama and Sita is told during Diwali. This story helps people to remember that light triumphs over dark and good triumphs over evil. Because of this importance, we retold the story in our own words...

Because Diwali is a time to have fun with friends and family, we decided to get into the party spirit! We made an Indian cocktail called, ’Mango Lassi’and baked some delicious lotus biscuits...

I am SO proud of all the children for working so hard this week. They have produced some very beautiful work indeed! Well done!
