In Nursery this week, we have learnt about Diwali.
We know it is the five day Festival of Lights, celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains across the world.
We read the book ‘Dipal’s Diwali’, and learnt that Diwali is a very special celebration, with colourful decorations including rangoli patterns, fireworks and special food!
We found out that Mehndi is a special body art drawn onto the hands and arms. We made our own mehndi patterns.
We also made diva lamps by moulding clay into a dish shape, and once dried, painted it and decorated it with glitter. Finally, we added a tea light so that we can light them at home!
STARS OF THE WEEK!
Lilian and Joseph
Well done to Lilian and Joseph, who have both had a fantastic first week back at school!
They both enjoyed learning about Diwali this week, and created beautiful Mehndi patterns and diva lamps!
Well done you two!
