On Wednesday we learned all about Diwali and how it is celebrated by Hindus and Sikhs all over the world. We made salt dough using flour, salt and water and then used that to make diyas. Diyas are oil lamps that Hindus use to bring light to the home to welcome the Godess Lakshmi during Diwali. We looked at lots of different pictures and then made our own and added patterns and details using matchsticks! Eoin put them in the oven for a few hours to dry out and today we took them outside to paint. We were hoping to take them home today for Diwali but they just weren't dry enough!
