DIWALI

 

ON THE 23RD OF OCTOBER IT WAS DIWALI. THERE WAS LIGHTS ALONG STREETS,CANDlES ON WINDOW SILLS AND DECORATIONS EVERYWHERE. LUCKILY FLECKNEY PRIMARY SCHOOL WERE LUCKY ENOUGH FOR CLAIRE KEANEY TO COME AND TALK TO US ABOUT IT. I NOW KNOW THINGS THAT I DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE. I LEARNT THAT PEOPLE THAT CELEBRATE DIWALI ARE CALLED HINDUS AND THEY WEAR THEIR BEST CLOTHES FOR DIWALI. ALSO THEY EAT DIFFERENT FOOD TO US. FOR EXAMPLE WE WOULD EAT CRISPS AND CHOCOLATE AND THEY WOULD EAT INDIAN SWEETS LIKE GULAB JAMUN AND BANNANA BASED PRODUCTS. ANOTHER WAY TO CELEBRATE DIWALI IS TO HAVE FIREWORKS. FIREWORKS MAKE LIGHT AND DIWALI IS ALL ABOUT LIGHT AND THAT'S WHY DIWALI IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHT
