We introduced the colour ‘brown’ to the children. The children watched the teacher mixed white paint into the brown paint to turn it into light brown.
Most children were able to distinguished between light and dark brown.
The teacher also showed pictures of brown animals such as kangaroo and orang utan. Several of them were able to name the animals.
They also chose their preferred shade of brown paint to colour on the worksheets provided.
We celebrated Deepavali on Wednesday. The children assembled with all the others to watch and hear our Indian teacher talked about the significance of Deepavali and how it is celebrated. The children were very excited and fascinated especially when they helped to put coloured rice on the Rangoli.
They returned to their class to paint the ‘diyas’. The teacher also drew ‘henna’ print on their hands. The children walked around shwing to their friends the different pictures on their hands. Here is a synopsis of Deepavali Celebration: - Deepavali is known as the ‘Festival of light’. Little clay lamps or ‘diyas’ are lit in every home. This is held in honour of Lakshmi, the Hindu Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity. They also decorate their homes and temples by drawing patterns on the ground outside with a mixture of rice flour and water colour which is also known as ‘Rangoli’.
Last but not least, we would like to wish all our Hindu families ‘A Happy Deepavali’ and have a Good Weekend!
