Our Senior Kindergarten and Grade 6 have recently worked together on a number of projects for Diwali.The older children were paired up with the younger children and rotated around a variety of activities.
They made and decorated Diva lamps and put tea lights inside, to light in recognition of this festival of light, which is the Hindu New Year.
They learnt about and told the story of Rama and Sita and how good triumphs over evil.
They decorated Rangoli designs and hung them in the classroom to welcome Lakshmi goddess of wealth.
They made LADOO candies because all most all celebrations involve special foods!
Finally we had a Diwali party – some children dresses up, we lit our Diva lamps, acted out the story of Rama and Sita, ate our ladoos and celebrated with our friends!
