This first week back we have been learning about the story behind the festival of Divali. Some children have acted out the story using masks and we have made diva lights and drawn some lovely firework pictures using coloured chalks. We even learnt how Indian people greet each other by bowing with our hands together and saying 'Namaste'. Next week our Teddies topic starts properly so please bring in those teddies if you haven't already.
