On Thursday, the children in Foundation Stage learnt about the festival of Diwali. The children began the morning learning about who celebrates Diwali and how people celebrate Diwali.

The children then enjoyed lots of activities linked to their learning about Diwali.

The children made sweets for Diwali because people who celebrate Diwali give sweets to their friends as a way of celebrating.
