Event - Diwali

1 November 2011

This week Year 1 and 2 pupils have been finding out about the Hindu Festival of Lights.

Firstly we read the Diwali story and acted it out with masks, then we made clay diva lamps to show Rama and Sita the way home. We used brightly coloured chalks to make Rangoli patterns, designed our own mendhi patterns and made flower garlands.

We also made traditional Indian sweets in cooking - which we loved! Try the recipe for yourself - it's on our cooking club section.
