This week in Chestnut Class we have been learning about Diwalli and the Festival of Light through Attention Autism, music, food, creating Diyas and expressive art. During Attention Autism Stage 1 we enjoyed looking at all the lights and coloured ribbons and during Stage 2 Miss Spear created a beautiful Rangoli pattern using salt and coloured sands. We have explored Rangoli patterns using paints in our learning. During our independent learning we created Diyas using salt dough and sensory items. At snack time we explored, made choices and tasted lots of traditional Indian foods. We have had a wonderful time learning about Diwalli celebrations!
