First we set about getting rid of all the old and we gave the classroom a good 'Spring Clean.'
Next the children brought special items from home which we used to create a class shrine encompassing all the senses.
Immanuel's mum had kindly made us some Indian sweets which we exchanged with each other ,
as is the Hindu custom,
to ensure we felt
sweet thoughts about each other.
Finally we used clay to design and create Diwali lamps.
