What a day filled with high energy and full of colour to celebrate Holi at Uxbridge!
Traditionally the colours used
to celebrate werefrom
Holi were from flowers and herbs
and each colour represented a different purpose, at Uxbridge we used paint.
Holi has become larger in westernised countries but is originally celebrated of
Hindi to triumph good over evil and the changing of seasons to Spring.
This stemmed some conversations
around where we are in the world and that we have different seasons / night and
days to those on the other side of the world.
Tamariki talked about
local colour runs and we-linked how traditionally colours are thrown over you on Holi when wearing
white tshirt, just like what would happen at a colour run. So great to link our
learning to children’s knowledge.
We had colourful splat art with the fly swats, coloured water and balls, dancing and stories of Holi,henna tattoo ant and the very popular… throwing of the painted paper. Colour was everywhere and the smiles were prevalent with another successful Holi celebrated at Uxbridge.
