The children made Rangoli patterns from a choice of five designs, using colourful rice. They looked at some books about Diwali and watched a short video. During circle time, they lit real tea light candles and talked about safety around fire and fireworks.
The children remembered:
“It’s a type of festival”
“candles”
“fireworks”
“bubbles”
“colourful lights”
“people dress up”
“patterns”
“flowers”
