Diwali
Happy Diwali from Class One!
This week class one celebrated the Hindu and Sikh festival of Diwali. The children learned about the festival of light by making Diva lamps from clay and colouring in traditional Rangoli patterns.
We found out that Diwali honours the Hindu goddess of wealth, Lakshmi. People decorate their homes with lights and lamps to guide Lakshmi into their homes in the hope that She will bring them prosperity and wealth for the New Year. We also looked at lots of Rangoli patterns and discovered that people paint the colourful designs on the floor of the entrance to their house to welcome the Gods in.
Happy Diwali!
