NAMASTE NAMASTE NEW WINDSOR COMMUNITY:)

We have just finished a wonderful week of festive celebrations where the focus for the week was on the wonderful and colourful Hindu celebration of DIWALI.

THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS.

There are five days as observed days for Diwali celebrations.

Dhanteras: Worship of wealth.

Naraka Chaturdasi: Choti (small) Diwali

Laxmi Pooja: Diwali

Govardhan Pooja: Bali Padyami

Bhai Dooj: Love between brothers and sisters.

Many of our students have posted to their blog pages what they have learnt or sharing facts about the 

Diwali festival of lights celebration.

In our bubble school we had a beautiful and yummy morning tea where our awesome learning assistant Mrs Falguni put on a scrumptious Diwali morning tea.

Everyone else bought a plate of food to share and we swapped small gifts which each other .

The tables were adorned with moving lights that Mrs Abercrombie especially brought into school to add to the festivities.

It was a wonderful morning tea where we also learnt about the actual importance of the celebration too.

How did you celebrate Diwli in your house if you celebrate diwali at this special time of the year?

Please take time to check out some of your childs class /student blogs on the festivities this week .

Happy Diwali everyone!
