On
Sunday, many Hindu and Sikh families celebrated Diwali- this festival lasts for five days. Diwali is the festival
of lights, which celebrates the triumph of good over evil. Today we
heard the story of Rama and Sita and found out about
some of the traditions of Diwali.

One
of the special traditions is the drawing or painting of Rangoli patterns. Rangoli patterns are created on the floor of homes and
other buildings to welcome in visitors. They
are also thought to welcome the Goddess of Wealth.
They are usually brightly coloured, with repeated shapes, often in flower or
petal designs. Sometimes the patterns are made with coloured rice, grains or petals.
Today we started to design some Rangoli patterns in groups- I will add the pictures when we're finished!
Here are some beautiful examples from around the world, that will help you with your homework. You will be designing your own Rangoli pattern to celebrate Diwali.
I look forward to seeing your beautiful designs!
