This week in Reception, the children continued their learning about Diwali by exploring how many Hindu families celebrate the festival of lights. We talked about different traditions, such as gathering with family, wearing special clothes, sharing delicious festive meals, dancing, visiting the temple to pray, and watching colourful fireworks light up the night sky. The children brought these celebrations to life in the classroom by listening and dancing to traditional Indian music, dressing up in vibrant Indian outfits, and even enjoying a tasty sensory experience trying poppadoms and onion bhajis. They had a wonderful time immersing themselves in the festivities and learning about each other's diverse cultures and traditions!
