This week we have been learning about Diwali.
We enjoyed hearing the story of Rama and Sita who were banished by the King, they then bumped into an evil God Ravanna who kidnapped Sita. Thanks to a magical arrow fired by Rama, Sita was saved and lamps were lit to guide them both back home. Showing that light always triumphs over dark and good over evil.
Class 1 enjoyed learning about;
- Why is Diwali also called the Festival of Light?
- How do families celebrate Diwali?
We enjoyed creating our own patterns on hands similar to how Hindus would during Diwali. We also enjoyed recreating a Rangoli pattern in glitter, we needed to carefully copy the pattern using our fingers.
