On Friday, our wonderful nursery assistant, Tahera, introduced our children to the celebration of Diwali. The preschool children watched a short educational video, and Tahera shared fascinating insights about the festival of lights. They then explored a beautiful sensory tray, allowing them to express their own interpretations.

In the baby room, a lovely cosy space was created to honour the festival. The babies enjoyed music accompanied by sensory lights as well as a colourful sensory tray with electronic candles, and they made their own diwa lamps using paper plates.

Additionally, they used stencils to design their own rangoli patterns.The celebrations will continue throughout the week, as the children will be using clay to shape their own diwa lamps, which they will then paint.
