Next week we will be teaching children about Diwali and Bandi Chhor.  We will talk to children about how Hindus and Sikhs celebrate this festival in different ways .

Children will be decorating divas and will learn all about the importance of light in both of these festivals. We will ask children how they celebrate their own festivals and look at differences in celebrations and how the themes of light and togetherness are important to many cultures.

To take this learning further we will look at the food that is eaten during these celebrations.

If your family are celebrating Diwali or Bhandi Chorr this weekend we wish you happy celebrations. Please be safe and enjoy your day.
