What Little Explorers did for diwali

Diwali was on the 11th of November and everybody at Little Explorers joined in celebrating the Hindu festival of lights.
The word Diwali means rows of lighted lamps. This is when Hindu's celebrate the return of there God's Rama and Sita. They make lanterns and set off fireworks.

During the day the children made pretty lanterns from paper to decorate for the party. They also made very colourful, decorated Hindu elephants. On the evening we drew and coloured complicated rangoli patterns.

Finally we tasted four different curries: korma, tikka masala, makhani and Bombay potatoes. We also tried naan bread and poppadums.  

We asked some of the little explorers what they thought about the curry tasting:
Harry J said, "It was yum." While Harry R thought, "It tasted like chicken pie.". Eleanor said "My favourite was the creamy one, I liked dipping in the bread."

It was a fabulous experience.
