Hindu Workshop

12th February, 2010

On Wednesday 9th February the 4s took part in a Hindu workshop. Molly Bruce from 4L writes: A lady called Krishna came to teach us about Hindus. The first thing she taught us was which gods would be on a Hindu shrine and what else would be on it, such as a bell to wake the gods up and a food tray.

Then we dressed up and painted each other's faces with a pattern. The girls had flowers and the boys had different coloured dots above their eyebrows. We also placed a bindi on our foreheads. We acted out the story of Rama and Sita and dressed up as the three gods of the Trimurti and the three main goddesses.

Finally we made some Divali sweets, which were delicious. It was a really fun morning and we learned a lot.
