This week in EYFS, we had a wonderful time learning about Holi, the vibrant Hindu festival known as the Festival of Colours. Holi is widely celebrated in India and around the world, marking the arrival of spring, new beginnings, and the triumph of good over evil.
Our classroom was transformed into a rainbow wonderland! The children:
- Learned simple traditional dance moves
- Moved rhythmically with scarves and ribbons
- Created collaborative artwork using chalks
- Sorted brightly pom-poms
- Used play dough to create bright models
- Explored what happened when flower petals were mixed in water and so much more!
We love learning about different cultures and traditions from around the world. Celebrating Holi helped us to explore diversity, build understanding, and share joy as a community. It was a fantastic opportunity to promote the values of respect, inclusion, and togetherness.
- What a colourful, happy day we had! 🌈 We can’t wait for our next celebration!
