Diwali

This week in Wraparound we have been learning about Diwali. The activities were based around the Hindu festival of light. The children had fun creating their own Rangoli patterns using paint, chalks and jewels in the playdough. Through watching video clips and listening to stories the children learnt all about Diwali and took part in some fun activities with their friends. The children also looked amazing dressed in Indian clothes.
