Our inquiry has led us to investigate different cultures and how they celebrate special events. First we celebrated Matariki the Maori New Year. This made us wonder how other cultures celebrated special events. We have looked at the Koi Carp festival in Japan and now we are completing Diwali the festival of the lights. We asked Mr Davies to draw Rangoli on our outside deck to welcome parents to  our shared lunch. We enjoyed coloring them in. They were fantastic. Our parents loved them. Diwali is a wonderful festival of lights and colour.
