All of Bede Burn were lucky enough to be part of a brilliant assembly this morning delivered by Miss Summers giving us loads of facts about the Hindu Festival of Diwali also known as the festival of light. We learnt about the associated traditions such as cleaning the house prior, making rangoli patterns with candles in to invite the God Lakshmi into the home to bless it.

They also celebrate with fireworks and rows of lights. This is linked to the story of Rama and Sita and them defeating good over evil!

Thanks Miss Summers for such a brilliant start to our day!
