This week year 1 have been learning about different celebrations. As it was Diwali on Thursday, we learnt all about the story of Diwali and how Hindus celebrate it.
On Friday, we were all so lucky because Mrs Patel taught us the special dancing that takes place on Diwali. Watch our video to see!
Who can remember the name of the ‘special sticks’ we were dancing with?
We were dancing with the dandiya sticks and listening to Lakshmi mata’s aarti.
The special sticks are called dhandiya.
We used dandiya sticks for dancing.I really enjoyed dancing with dandiya sticks
