Reception - Diwali

Lesson: EYFS

Class: Foundation Stage - Mrs Southward & Miss Richmond Year: 2022 - 2023

In Reception, the children have been learning about different celebrations, one of which, is Diwali. We used the internet and non-fiction books to find out information. We discovered that Diwali is celebrated by many Hindus and Sikhs around the world and is sometimes known as the ‘Festival of Lights’. During Diwali, many people decorate their homes, eat special food, wear special clothes, light divas, make rangoli patterns, light fireworks, send gifts and cards to others and much more! We also read the story of Rama and Sita and found out why Diwali is celebrated. The children have been very busy making their own divas and exploring creating rangoli patterns.
