RE Festival Workshop- Diwali

 Today we learnt about the festival of lights which is a religious festival for many people around the world this time of year. This festival is called the Diwali, but is know as the festival of lights as people use lights and candles as a way to decorate their homes  in hope of welcoming the Goddess of Wealth (Lakshmi) into their lives for the coming year. In recognition of this we decorated our very own Diya lamp and will bring it home today so we can perhaps light the way into our own lives.
