This week Hindu's celebrate Diwali, so in Year 1 we have been finding out more about this celebration.
We decorated glass jars to make our own Diwali lights.
We made Diwali cards.
We used chalks to create Rangoli patterns.
We drew around our feet, cut them out and decorated them. During Diwali footprints are used to encourage the goddess Lakshmi into houses.
Using condensed milk and cocoa powder we made Diwali sweets called Barfi. Sweets are shared with family and friends during the celebration.
We heard the story of Rama and Sita and enjoyed re-telling it with our friends.
We thought carefully about Diwali and wrote what we had learnt.
