Diwali - Festival of Lights!

Wow what an amazing celebration of culture and amazing people. On Tuesday Frimley School Celebrated Diwali in style! Many of our Indian community worked together to make this day super special. We learnt that the festival is 5 days long and celebrates good over evil and light over dark. and happens at the Indian New Year. The celebrations include dancing, eating, music, beautiful outfits, candles, fireworks, decorations and most importantly people.

Seven amazing children from our class came dressed up beautifully and performed an amazing dance to the whole school. They were outstanding and I couldn't believe how brave they were! All the wonderful practise paid off and they were shining stars....check it out!

We were also very lucky that Dhiyaa's Mum made an amazing Rangoli outside the hall....what wonderful detail and so much persistence for over 2 hours!

 We tried to make our own Rangoli using coloured salt - it was tricky and fiddly but we ended up with some stunning pictures!

The Indian culture has so many wonderful colours and patterns...the children were very proud to have parents, siblings and grandparents join us and the Frimley Staff were pretty privledged to taste some amazing Indian food for our morning tea.....yum!
