Diwali is a very important and exciting festival in the Hindu faith.
It is also called the Festival of Lights.
Diwali takes place during the last month of the Hindu year and celebrates the beginning of the New Year in the Hindu calendar.
The word 'Diwali' means 'row of lighted lamps' - we lit our own divas while we sat and shared a story about Rama and Sita.
We thought these traditional Indian clothes were beautiful.
Do you like our paper plate divas?
It was lots of fun creating our mehndi patterns using the computer!
What do you think we used to create these mehndi patterns?
We worked together to create a colourful Rangoli pattern at the entrance to our Nursery to welcome everyone!
Have you been celebrating Diwali? We would love to hear what you did.
Post us a comment and let us know!
