Deepavali Celebration

 We had a wonderful Deepavali celebration on last Monday. The children came to school in their fabulous tradition costumes or home clothes! We were so excited and could not wait to eat the Indian snack! What would the snack be this year?

The Legend

The children were told a legend of the Deepavali festival. Paper puppets were used to tell the story. The legend goes, the Demon King captured the Prince’s wife, Sita. The Prince and the Monkey King managed to get rid of the Demon King and saved Sita. The people used oil lamps to shine in the dark so that the Prince and his wife coud go home. That's is why this festival is also called the festival of lights.

"The Demon is coming!"

"Don't be scare. I will protect you!"

These are the paper puppets of the Prince and his wife.

The children were listening well! Wonderful!

The Culture

 We talked about the food the Indians ate and the clothes they wore during Deepavali festival. Children, let's name the food together. 

Oh! I want to eat this!

It's Snack Time!

We all enjoyed the Indian snacks, murukku and papadum. We gave the children some murukku first then papadum. Some of the children referred ｍurukku and asked for more. They were yummy!!

Wow! The papadum it's So BIG!!! 

I can finish it!

May I have two please?

Drawing using Henna

We had so fun much, thus we were tired. I did the Henna drawing the next day. Henna is also one of the Indian cultures. People drew on others' hands or/and body during festivals. It symbolised good luck. After drawing, it needed to be dried before wiping it with a wet cloth or rinse with water.

Yeah! It's Hello Kitty. I like it!

I like princess. Careful, don't touch! 

It will smudge.

 

Look at my Hello Kitty! 

Say cheese!
