This week, Aberdeen learned about the significance of Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights. We heard the Hindu story of Rama and Sita, discussed its main message, and then made paper lanterns to symbolise the victory of light over darkness. Our special visitors brought with them a selection of items used in their celebration of Diwali and were kind enough to share their family traditions and answer some keen questions! We were even treated to a taste of some traditional coconut ladoo. Thank you for enriching our understanding of this important festival.
