Today, Class 7 have learned about Hinduism during our second faith day of the year. We watched some traditional stories, learned about the long history of Hinduism and then created our own Rangoli patterns We loved it!
Class 8 have learnt a lot about Hinduism today. They read the story Rama and Sita and then looked at rangoli patterns. Most Hindu households have rangoli patterns at the entrance to their home as they are thought to bring good luck and prosperity to their families. Some children used paints, others used pegs and boards, whilst others coloured in rangoli patterns. Well done class 8 for some great listening and learning today. I will be checking on Monday that you have remembered anything about the religion Hinduism?
have a lovely weekend x
