Holi Celebrations

We have had a vibrant celebration of Spring, colour and joy this week. Kalpesh helped us to understand a bit more about the Hindu festival of Holi with wonderful, fun filled days of dancing and Rangoli pattern art. Chalk paints were thrown around the playground, daubed on our hands and faces, and we danced Bollywood style in the sunshine.

Cooking using Indian recipes gave children the opportunity to explore the influences of ingredients, foods, tools and processes in our own lives, culminating in a colourful feast in Stonehenge class!

The finale of our celebration was the amazing colour parade with families, governors and friends.  It was wonderful to watch the children immerse themselves fully in every moment, enjoying each new learning experience.
