In RE, year 4 have been learning about the Hindu festival of Diwali. We have learnt that it’s a 5-day celebration where Diwa lamps are lit in order to welcome the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi, to Hindu homes. The lights are also to remember the story of Rama and Sita and to help guide them back home.

Over the last few days, we have been creating our own diwa lamps out of saltdough. The children were able to take these home with them this afternoon!  More photos can be found on Facebook.
