Celebrating Diwali

Reception celebrate Diwali -Monday 20th October
As Diwali takes place on 21st October this year, the Reception children spent a whole morning on Monday learning all about the festival and its origins. They read the book, 'Binny's Diwali' by Thrifty Umrigar and found out about some traditions and practices. The children enjoyed some Diwali yoga and made some 'diya' lamps from clay. There were some wonderful Rangoli patterns created which required huge amounts of concentration.
Also, in school worship on Monday, the whole school learned about Diwali and the Year 1 and 2 children were able to share what they remembered about their previous learning about Diwali.
