Diwali

On Thursday 4th November all classes in school looked at the celebration of Diwali. Diwali is a festival of lights and one of the major festivals celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and some Buddhists. The festival usually lasts five days and is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar month Kartika.

All pupils learnt about the festival through stories, we particularly looked at the story of Rama and Sita. We also incorporated our PSHE targets throughout the day as there is a big focus on family and sharing time together at Diwali.

All classes enjoyed time in the Immersive learning room watching and creating sounds of fireworks. Pupils created Rangoli patterns, made tea light holders and explored different colours whilst making fireworks.

One of our families who celebrate Diwali sent in an activity pack for every child plus lots of lovely food to taste – all pupils had an amazing day and learnt so much about the festival.
