DIWALI DAY CELEBRATIONS!

We celebrated our learning about Diwali on Friday with a hands-on day cooking Diwali sweets and learning how to make Rangoli welcome patterns.  Nimi (Dharti’s Mum) came in to show us photos and talk to us about Diwali.  She was amazing drawing the Rangoli flower pattern outside the library door with rice flour and then we helped her fill in the colours with coloured rice grains.  It looked beautiful!  She showed us how to cook Chocolate Ladoo.  We rolled them in coconut and they were delicious!  We would like to thank Nimi very much for all her time and patience.  She put SO much effort into preparing for the day, colouring the rice and making ground rice for our Rangolis and organising the recipes and helping us to cook!  We really appreciate your coming in to share your knowledge of Diwali with us, Nimi!! THANK YOU, NIMI  🙂
