Today Year 5 have been learning about the Hindu festival of Holi.  They researched the origins of the festival and read the story connected with it.

The festival of Holi is also known as the festival of colours.  It is tradition during the celebrations to throw powder paint at each other.  Instead of doing this, the children painted a person in many colours.
