Chinese celebrations and customs

Last week we learnt about traditional Chinese celebrations and customs, in particular Chinese New Year.
We were lucky to have one of our students Angela's, grandparents and father in to talk to us about this.
We tried a delicious Chinese beef dish and learnt about calligraphy, it was lovely to have visitors to our class - thank you Angela :)

Diwali

We have been learning about Diwali, the Indian festival of light.

During 'Diwali' people create Rangoli patterns at the entrance way to their homes and meeting places to welcome people. These patterns are bright, colourful and beautiful.

We made our own Rangoli patterns around the school, have a look at them below.
