‘Holi’ The Festival of Colour!

On Wednesday this week Foundation Stage had a fabulous morning learning and celebrating all things ‘Holi’ for the Hindu  festival of colour! The children came to school dressed in bright colours ready for a morning of fun, song and dance! We learnt all about Holi traditions and the meaning of the celebration, welcoming the beginning of Spring and celebrating the triumph of good versus evil! We chalked bright and colourful patterns, had fun splatting paint (recapping previous learning of the famous artist Jackson Pollock!) and even had a go at paint throwing! This was lots of fun! We had so much fun dancing with scarves and materials and listening to traditional Hindu celebrational music! Another “best day” in the bag for the children!!!!
