Diwali

In R.E we have been learning about the Hindu celebration of Diwali. Diwali is the festival of lights which celebrates the victory of good over evil. We learnt that the word Diwali means 'row of lighted lamps'.

We used clay to create our own diva lamps, it was a little bit tricky as we had to mould different shapes with our fingers. Hindu people light diva lamps to welcome Lakshmi (the goddess of wealth) into their homes. 

We also used bright colours to colour in rangoli patterns and decorated our classroom with them!
