Diwali

Today we celebrated Diwali, the Hindu festival, at school. We were allowed to wear our cultural saris and jewellery. Some of the teachers dressed up in saris and looked beautiful. We tried some Indian sweets and the teachers had a feast in the staff room. We read a big book about Diwali and learnt about what happens on each of the five days. We made flower garlands out of paper to give to our Mums and to some of the teachers.
