At BestStart Harrison Street  we celebrated Diwali the Indian festival of lights with our whanau. The children leading up to this night enjoyed making lanterns, decorations and practicing for a dance performance.  On the night we came together for a shared kai and to watch performances from the Preschool children and from two of our Indian families.  We then enjoyed dancing with our friends and the teachers until it was time to go home.  Experiences like these help our children make links with their wider community.  Also dance and movement allows them to express themselves, experience other cultures and work on different body movement.  It was great to see so many of our whanau helping us to celebrate.
