Celebrating Diwali in Foundation! π
This week, we had a wonderful time celebrating Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights! The classroom was full of colour, music, and happy smiles as the children explored a range of fun activities linked to this special festival.
We began by creating beautiful Rangoli patterns, using bright colours and shapes to decorate our classroom. The children showed fantastic creativity and care in their designs! We also made some Diwali playdough sweets, rolling, shaping and decorating them just like real festive treats.
Later, we lit up our divas and listened to peaceful Hindu flute music, helping us to think about light, kindness and new beginnings. The children loved dressing up in colourful saris and dancing to Diwali music — it was such a joyful celebration!
A big thank you to Daveen, who brought in his traditional Diwali clothes to show the class. Everyone loved seeing the beautiful patterns and colours, and it helped us learn even more about how Diwali is celebrated at home.ππͺ✨
After the holidays, all children need to be wearing the winter uniform which is the navy tracksuit. The children should not be wearing trainers but school shoes. Please, make sure that all their uniform is clearly labelled.
We hope to see some of you at our bonfire night.
