We re-enacted the story of Rama and Sita then re-told it to check for understanding etc. We then discussed how Hindus celebrate Diwali and I asked the groups to build a structure to house a candle lamp – it could house them too if they wished. The children thought the den should be dark and keep out the wind. In the end the children ate their snacks around the lamps and came up with a fab list of words to describe how the candle made them feel. I explained that all religions use light as part of their celebrations, to ward off evil and to aid contemplation and prayer.
