Diwali 'Festival of Lights'

This week in Reception we have been celebrating the Hindu Festival of Light - Diwali.
We participated in some Indian dances wearing traditional Diwali clothing.
We made rockets out of fruit for our snack - they tasted delicious!
We also delved deep into 'Where does light come from?' and the children drew their own fireworks with coloured chalk.
We noticed light came from other sources such as the sun, torches and fire. We looked closey at how Hindu's prepare for their celebrations by making Diva Lamps.
