Reception had a wonderful time celebrating Diwali – the Festival of Light!

We explored the traditions and meaning behind this special celebration through lots of exciting, creative activities.

The children created beautiful Rangoli patterns, experimenting with colours, shapes and patterns. We sang Diwali songs together and enjoyed making our own spectacular fireworks through large-scale mark making and painting.

We also learnt the traditional story of Rama and Sita, discovering why Diwali is celebrated and how it represents the triumph of light over darkness.

The children had a fantastic time learning about different cultures and traditions while expressing their creativity and imagination.
