November 2026 Diwali Whole School Theme

The children across school, enjoyed our whole school theme of Diwali. Throughout the week we welcomed Kirtida who delivered a very interactive workshop for each class exploring Hinduism and Diwali. West End in Schools taught the children a dance based on the story of Rama and Sita. Ragini, one of our lovely parents, visited to share her experience of Diwali and how celebrations differ across India. Throughout the week, the children have learnt about India, the origins of the Diwali festival, had an insight into the Hindu religion, explored food and clothing, wrote stories and poems, created diyas from clay, engaged in drama and made their own art. It really was a fun filled week of learning!
