Today we celebrated Diwali the Festival of lights. Traditionally Diwali is celebrated by the making and lighting of diya's (candles), fireworks, story telling and sharing food with friends and family to celebrate the triumph of light over dark. Here at Uxbridge we marked the occasion by making our own diya's, creating Rangoli patterns, making marigold flowers, getting henna designs on our hands, dressing up in cultural clothing, listening to the story of Diwali and dancing to Indian music. We even made some yummy mango lassi a smoothie drink, which went down a treat!
