All of Year One have been enjoying learning about the Hindu festival of Diwali as part of their RE lessons.
They learnt that Diwali is the festival of light and it is celebrated by lighting Diva lamps, giving presents and sweets and enjoying fireworks. Rangoli patterns are created outside houses to bring luck and the children enjoyed colouring in a Rangoli pattern. They made them look bright and beautiful! Furthermore, Year One learnt about the first ever Diwali and enjoyed listening to the Rama and Sita story. They then made a Happy Diwali card. The children finished by using the skills they have learnt in Computing to create a shared digital painting of a Rangoli pattern. Check out our impressive work below!
