What is Diwali?
Diwali Festival of Lights is India’s best-loved festival, and is an
ancient Hindu festival that symbolises the triumph of light over
darkness and the renewal of life. It is a time for celebration in India
and by Indian diasporas abroad, with families lighting lamps, candles
and fireworks to symbolise the triumph of light over darkness, good
over evil. We have been studying Diwali this week. We have been writing, publishing stories and making our own rangoli patterns.
We are a Junior Bi-lingual class at Nelson Central School. We are a mix of Year 1 and Year 2 students, Whaea Carly is our kaiako. We enjoy learning in Maori and English every day. We are part of Te Pouahi whaanau and enjoy sports, swimming, kapa haka and art with Room 13, Room 15 and Room 16. We are in Room 14.
