12 Nov Nursery, A2, Week 2
In Nursery this week, they have been looking at the Hindu festival of Diwali, a festival of light for their RE lessons. The children familiarised themselves with the story of ‘Rama and Sits’ and explored the different ways Hindu people celebrate the festival. One way of celebrating Diwali, Hindu people place Diva lamps (candles) outside their homes or in the window of their homes as a symbol of ‘light’ in remembrance of guiding Sita home safely.
In a small group the children made salt dough to mould into the shape of a Diva lamp. Before decorating them in colourful paint with glitter and gems.
