This week we learnt about the spring festival Holi. This is a Hindu festival that celebrates colour! Holi is all about good overpowering evil. In the Holi story we learnt that Prahlad faced several challenges due to not wanting to follow the evil king. Instead, he prayed to Vishnu and he was saved.
First we recreated the story where we took turns to be the evil king, Prahlad, snakes, elephants and his Aunty. We then learnt that good won over evil and this is why Hindus celebrate Holi.
After this, we went outside and used powder paint to create beautiful works of art! We were so mesmerised by the beautiful colours and our mood was lifted. We all felt like we were being celebrated and valued. Have a look at our wonderful artwork…
How to help at home:
– Make your own Holi art.
