P2/1 have been learning about Diwali and wanted to celebrate it. We learned about what happens during Diwali and listened to the story of Ram and Sita. This afternoon, we had a small food tasting session in class. We tried naan bread, vegetable pakora and sauce. We listened to some Bhangra music. We all enjoyed ourselves!

“I liked it, eating the naan bread.” – Robert

“The dancing was amazing,” – Noah

“I loved all the Indian food. I’m glad I tried it, it’s good to try new things.” H

“I haven’t tasted food like that before, it was nice.” – Kate

“Diwali is fun, I like the dancing.” – Sophie

“It was super good to have Diwali with my friends.” – Karam

“It’s about bad versus good, light versus darkness.” – Amelia

“Diwali means row of lamps. Just like when Ram and Sita followed them back to their home.” – Ryan

Here is a link to the Diwali story of Ram and Sita:
