Our Rangoli Art

On Tuesday afternoon, Mrs Reid taught us.  We got to do some wonderful pastel rangoli patterns.
Miss Dippie was so impressed when she got back from her course. She thought Mrs Reid must've been busy colouring all afternoon.

We learnt that Rangoli Patterns are a special part of Diwali and are placed on doorsteps to welcome people during the festival. Usually they are made from coloured sands, petals or rice.  We made our with pastel so we can put them on the wall.
