Happy Diwali

It’s still a couple of months away but P6.1 have been creating tea light holders as part of our RE lessons on Diwali. We learned about the story of Rama and Sita and how they defeated the evil Ravana.

The tea lights were used to light the way for Rama and Sita when they returned after the battle. Hindus and other religions light these during Diwali (which translates to the festival of light) to celebrate the festival. This year Diwali is on 22nd October. Next week we will paint these bright colours before displaying them in the classroom.
