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 story ‘Dipal’s Diwali’, and learnt that families prepare for Diwali by wearing special clothes, preparing delicious foods, and decorating their homes with colourful decorations and diva lamps.
We learnt about mehndi – a body art tradition where patterns are drawn onto the arms and hands.
We also read about rangoli patterns – bright patterns created on the floor to welcome visitors into the home during Diwali.
After reading the story, we made our own rangoli patterns, and created our own mehndi art. Take a look at our creation…
Please visit back next week to see our diva lamps!
STARS OF THE WEEK!
Florence and Oro
Both children enjoyed learning about Diwali, and used their artistic flair when designing their rangoli patterns and mehndi designs!
Well done you two!
