Montessori students learn about the "Festival of Lights"
Montessori students were treated to a lesson on Diwali, the Festival of Lights observed in India.
Students learned about its background, viewed authentic outfits and participated in some traditional crafts. Using brightly coloured paint, Montessori students decorated their own clay diyas (candle holders) in honour of the festival of lights.
Diwali represents the symbolic victory of light over darkness. In celebration, students were reminded to show kindness and compassion towards each other.
