Our First Steps children at St Wilfrid’s Catholic Primary School, Bishop Auckland, embraced the vibrant traditions of Diwali – the Hindu Festival of Lights.

To mark this special occasion, the children enjoyed a range of creative and sensory activities:

  • Designing beautiful Rangoli patterns using stickers and beads.
  • Exploring Diya lamps in our curiosity cube.
  • Crafting their very own lamps to take home and share with family.

These hands-on experiences helped pupils learn about the importance of light, joy, and togetherness in Diwali celebrations, while encouraging creativity and cultural understanding.
