Reception have thoroughly enjoyed learning about and celebrating the Hindu festival of Diwali! We have shown a great understanding and enjoyment when learning about another culture and their festivities.

 

We have taken part in lots of colourful and creative activities today: using playdough, we created our own representations of a Diva Lamp and once finished, an adult lit our candle to show us how the lamps are used. Next, we also made Diva Lamps using salt dough, they are currently in the oven cooking! We cannot wait to show you them once painted!

During our celebrations today we have explored cultural instruments, colourful objects and the design of Henna, which we used hand templates to practice our very own designs on.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our day – we hope you enjoy our pictures!
