# Reception: Diwali

  We celebrated ‘Diwali’, the Hindu ‘Festival of Light’. After listening to the story of ‘Rama and Sita’, we made special diva lamps using clay. We had to push our thumbs into the ball of clay and then squeeze it round the edges to make a bowl shape. It was hard work! When it had dried, we painted it different colours and decorated it with sequins. We put a tea light in each of them and they looked beautiful when we lit them. Mrs Kathiriya, our class governor, came in to tell us how she celebrates Diwali with her family. She read the story of Rama and Sita and brought in some of the beautiful clothes that they wear and some children tried them on. Take a look at our photos.
