Diwali is widely celebrated in India. It is the festival of lights and also food!
To celebrate the occasion of diwali with our little PYP angels, we decided to teach them to decorate the chariot of light; the diyas.
The children arrived at 11 and we took them to the badminton court and had seated them. We gave every child one diya and and as we had planned, we assigned 1 DP student to a group of three children. As all the groups had been assigned a student, I and one of my junior, Himanshu, were extra, so we went around the groups helping every child we could. We gave them glue and some decorative material and asked the angles to let their creative side wild and free.
They decorated the diya's beautifully. After the activity was finished, we took the children back to the classroom. As their diwali gift, we had made paper lanterns and small paper baskets which contained sweets. They were very happy to see their gifts and they went back home with a wide, brightening smile on their face.
Till the next time :)
