This week at ACETNS, we have been learning all about Diwali. Diwali is the Hindu Festival of Lights and the celebration of new beginnings.

We had some amazing performances in assembly this week from parents and children who celebrate Diwali, with songs, dances, poems and stories.

Children from various classes performed a dance to ‘Jai Ho’ – a song celebrating Diwali with lyrics in both English and Hindi.

Here is a video of Janisha in from Senior Infants singing ‘Twinkle Twinkle’ in Hindi for Diwali.
