This week our class along with the Elementary School, have been celebrating Deepavali!
We had a visit from G4SB who did a presentation on what Deepavali means and why it is important. The children learned that Deepavali means 'line of lights' and that new clothes are purchased for this special holiday. Food is also very important, as well as family member's coming together to celebrate.
Our class was able to create decorations and well as rangoli, to place outside the door. They were also given crowns to decorate and some special sweets to try made out of rice flower!
On Friday the children were presented with bindi's for the girls to wear and bracelets for the boys to give to their mother or sister. I was impressed by how the children became interested in this holiday, in how the girls were open minded by trying on bindi's, and how they all asked many relevant questions! Great Job K1JW!
