Diwali the Festival of Lights



As part of our Celebrations topic this term, we have been looking at some of the celebrations that people in our class have each year.
 On Sunday 3rd November, many people (mainly of Indian descent) celebrate Diwali which is a celebration known as the festival of lights. It is based on the story of Rama and Sita. We were lucky enough to learn about this story and why this festival is celebrated each year. Lorisha in our class celebrates Diwali with her family and so she kindly brought in a plate on Indian sweets for us to try. See below. 

They were yummy, thanks Lorisha
