Happy Diwali

HAPPY DIWALI

Saal Mubarak! 

Happy Diwali!
On Tuesday we celebrated Indian New Year or Diwali.  Diwali is the festival of lights and lasts for five days. We listened to Ishani and Sara from Year 2 share their knowledge of Diwali and we enjoyed watching Sara perform an Indian dance. We used coloured rice to decorate our pastel rangoli patterns, made barfi sweets and painted a diva. Last of all Karsimar's Mum and Grandma came to decorate our hands with mehandi designs.
