In year 2 we had an exciting day today finding out all about Diwali which is the Hindu festival taking place this weekend. We started the day with an assembly all about Diwali. Then  the children enjoyed activities in class, such as making chalk Rangoli patterns outside and decorating Mehndi hands. We also made diya lamps out of salt dough and made (and ate!) chocolate Diwali sweets. Happy Diwali! 

In year we performed some Indian dancing moves, listened to the story of Rama and Sita and used our collaging skills to make a diya lamp.
