Remembrance Day
It was wonderful to welcome back our happy, little smiling faces to commence Term 4. The girls have reconnected with their friends and enjoyed being back together for this final term of the year.
The most notable and special learning experiences over the past fortnight have been the special Diwali celebrations. Diwali is the most popular celebration in India and is the biggest festival for Hindus. On Wednesday 19 October, our Annie House girls were incredibly grateful that Vandana, Dhaara’s mum, visited to teach the girls about Diwali and helped them construct Diya (Diwali lights).
Following this, on Friday 21 October, Evana Arora (Year 3) came along to playgroup with her mother and little sister to share her knowledge of Diwali. Evana, previously an ELC student, confidently shared a PowerPoint presentation with the girls and we are grateful for her time and immensely proud of her growth as a Wildy girl.
Using the information shared by Evana, the Mamie girls continued with this special learning to paint their own clay Diya and decorate the walkway into the Mamie House with colourful chalk drawings.
Thank you again to Vandana, Dhaara, Shelly, Lyca and Evana for sharing your time and special celebration with us. Happy Diwali!
