On Thursday we were making decorations which were paper lanterns for Diwali. Diwali is the festival of light and Sikhs, Hindus and Jains celebrate it. There are lots of fireworks during Diwali. It is mainly celebrated in India but can also be celebrated in other countries around the world. During Diwali they eat yummy food and it’s on the 27th October this year. It is normally celebrated around October/ November and the date depends on the position of the moon. Pictures of flowers are also made out of sand. People wear fancy clothing with patterns and colourful scarves. We watched a story about Diwali in assembly and the main idea was that it is about good and evil and good always wins and light wins over dark. We learned that lights are significant in order to guide people home.
In the pictures below you can some of P4b telling the school about Diwali and showing them the paper lanterns that we made.
P4b would like to wish you all a Happy Diwali!
