Diwali, Another New Year!

We are so International in Room 8. Not only have we celebrated a European New Year but a Chinese New Year, Matariki and now Diwali.

Today the children made Rongali patterns. This is an art form, from Nepal India and Bangladesh. Patterns are created on the floor in living rooms, or courtyards using materials such as coloured rice, coloured sand or flower petals...we made do with colouring in pencils. The children might like to print these off and colour them in.

The Amazing Stu Duval

We were so fortunate to have Stu visit us today. An amazing storyteller and illustrator. The children were spellbound, as was I.
