Happy Diwali everyone! 

 

On Wednesday, we had an amazing WOW day celebrating a special festival for lots of children in our school 

We took part in lots of exciting activities:

- Making and cooking Samosas

- Making Diya lamps

- Creating Rangoli patterns outside with chalk 

- Designing Mehndi hand patterns

- Learning Bhangra dancing

- Making Diya lanterns

We learnt about the festival and how people celebrate it. 

 

On Thursday, a parent of a child in Year 1 came to teach us some Bollywood dancing! We absolutely loved it. She taught us some tricky moves and we had an amazing time showing off our dancing skills.
