News from India, Thursday 16th October

Today Ms. Brewer and Mr. Hollis have been experiencing Diwali, the festival of light.  In school they watched a play performed by the children telling the story of Rama and Sita.  Mr. Hollis and the children made and repaired Rangoli patterns and saw children making divas as well.  Divas are clay pots that are decorated and then used to add a candle or oil to make light.   Ms. Brewer has said that she will show all these things in an assembly next week.  Here are some photographs.
