Diwali

Today in Room 6 we have been learning about Diwali (the Indian New Year). We made salt dough candles (these aren't complete - will post a photo on Tuesday), coloured rangoli patterns and interviewed some of our Indian friends. Check out the photos below.

Some of our interview questions that we asked Jasmine, Jessica and Jaspreet:

Why do you Diwali?
Because it is to celebrate the Indian New Year.

What kind of food do you eat?
Lots of flat bread and we have some special curries.

Do you go anywhere?
We mainly stay at home but sometimes we visit the temple. Or we go and visit other Indian families.

Why do you make rangoli patterns?
To welcome visitors that come to our home
