Celebrating Diwali

This week the children have been learning about Diwali. They have enjoyed making clay Divas and designing Rangoli patterns on the playground. They enjoyed finding out about Jessica's culture - a Hindu girl who celebrates Diwali. There has been lots of new vocabulary such as sari, diva, India, Hindu.
As part of the festival of light the children have also learnt how to keep safe with fireworks and have made edible sparklers from breadstick and sprinkles!
