We found out that the story was based upon the story of Rama and Sita. We learnt the story and acted out the tale in role....
We also re-enforced our measuring skills by working with Mrs Pellett. She helped us to read the scales and weigh accurately so we could make Coconut Burti (a sweet that Hindus make and eat on Diwali).
We also made clay diva lamps. After our divas had dried, we painted them in bright colours to celebrate Diwali being the festival of light and colour.
We also showed off our best Bollywood dance moves as part of our celebration!
Finally, we used the concept of Good and Evil to create a collage of our thoughts. We thought of images that we associated with good and evil and used colours to highlight the differences.
Some of the other activities we took part in included... designing Rangoli patterns, writing poems about good and evil, drawing cartoon storyboards of the Rama and Sita story and lots more. We had a fantastic time finding out about Diwali!
This project looks like it has been a lot of fun, Year 4. I've been so impressed by the variety of activities you have been doing. I'm looking forward to seeing some of you for Merits!
