Diwali comes to Fairisle!

On November 12th, Year 4 celebrated the Hindu festival of Diwali, the festival of light, as part of our RE curriculum. The children looked amazing in their finest Diwali clothes and had a great day doing many activities that would be part of a traditional Diwali celebration in an Indian home. We made Indian sweets, created Rangoli patterns using coloured sand and learnt some Indian dances (confidently led by Miss O'Shea!). We all had a day to remember!
