Last Thursday, we celebrated all things Hinduism and Diwali! We were met in the hall by Mrs Singh who taught us all about where Hinduism originated and we learnt about some of the key elements and symbols. Later on, we went in the hall for some traditional Indian dancing and music and everyone looked fantastic dressed in saris and churidars! We also got to sample some traditional foods including lentil curries, naan bread and yoghurt dip. In the afternoon, we got to experience henna tattoos and everyone chose their designs. In class, we read the story of Rama and Sita and acted out the key events. We created Rangoli patterns, lanterns and designed our own henna. We learnt so much about Hinduism and there was a real buzz about the academy!
