In their humanities studies, Form 1 have been learning about the Hindu festival of Diwali.  During their outdoor learning lesson, using chalk they drew some beautiful and colourful Rangoli patterns.

A Rangoli is a colourful design made on the floor using coloured rice powder. It is often used by Hindus throughout Diwali. Another form of Rangoli pattern is Mendhi which is used to decorate hands and feet during festivals and weddings.
