Celebrating Diwali

 

This week the children have had a fabulous time celebrating Diwali, the annual festival of lights.  After watching a Cbeebies video clip explaining what Diwali is and how it is celebrated we took part in various activities; designing Mehndi and Rangoli patterns, making diya lamps, bhangra dancing and having an Indian feast.  The children enjoyed the shadow puppet show story of Rama and Sita (https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/stories/lets-celebrate-diwaliperformance) and how they found their way home.
