Diwali Week
In autumn, Phase 3 celebrated the Hindu festival of Diwali – The Festival of Lights. The children learnt traditional Hindu dance, listened to accounts of Diwali from a Hindu visitor and enjoyed experiencing Indian dress and tasting Indian sweets. We thoroughly enjoyed our Diwali week. We showcased our work across the phase in an assembly.
Thank you to all those parents who came to watch us and thank you to all our visitors who helped!
Look at our work on Diwali to see how we extended our knowledge of Diwali and our understanding of how Hindus live and celebrate their festivals in England today.
