As we are still navigating our way through the level 3 lockdown, the teaching team decided to organise a dress up day in the centre. The dress up day was also to acknowledge the Halloween and the Diwali festival.

Our tamariki were very excited to dress up in their favourite costume.

We also had the opportunity to understand a little about the Diwali festival, which was celebrated across the world by many Hindus. We decided to create a rangoli using playdough.

Traditionally, Rangoli is an art of decoration drawn on the floor or the entrances of homes. It is thought to bring good luck, prosperity on the house and in the family, and to welcome guests. This is normally done by the females of the house during festivals such as Diwali.

Our tamariki enjoyed creating their own version of Rangoli design. It was great to witness the children experience about other cultures and the celebrations.
