Diwali

Date: 11th Nov 2026 @ 11:23am

Reception have been learning about Diwali and this week we welcomed Eisha (one of our parents) into class to talk to us about Diwali. The children learnt that Diwali started on Friday 6th November and lasted 5 days with the main celebration on Sunday 8th November. They learnt that yellow is a holy colour and that Diwali is the festival of the String of Lights with light overcoming darkness. They have also enjoyed learning about the story of Rama and Sita and role playing it in small world. Our children have had fun making firework pictures out of loose parts and painting firework pictures and making Rangoli patterns.
