Diwali celebration

As we studied Hinduism during British values week we worked with Mrs Bennison's class to celebrate Diwali. We looked at diya lamps (shape, colours and size) and used the TASC wheel to design our own. Once we had the design we were happy with we started to make them out of clay. They all have a special tear drop shape which was difficult to mould.
With our design sheet we then painted our lamps. These we painted in beautiful bright colours.














On Wednesday 11th November (Diwali 2015) we got together with year 3/4 and lit our diva lamps. As it was also Remembrance Day we had reflection time where the children thought about past and current people who have fought for our country and the people they knew who they would like to pray for.
