We had a wonderful few days learning about the celebration Diwali. We learnt about the story behind Diwali of the Evil Ravana who represents dark and Rama and Sita who represent light. During the three days we learnt about how children who are in the Hindu culture celebrate and prepare for the festival. We made sweets called coconut barfi, measuring and mixing carefully. We also made diva lamps from clay and created rangoli patterns. We enjoyed reading a story book about a little girl who was preparing for Diwali.
