Celebrating Diwali at Mapesbury! ✨πŸͺ”

Friday, 6th November 2026, 16:24

Today, Diwali was celebrated in a wonderful assembly at Mapesbury.

The hall was beautifully decorated, bringing the magic of the Festival of Lights to life. Students explored traditional Diwali items, including diyas (small lamps), colourful rangoli patterns and lanterns, while learning about the significance of this special festival.

Information about how Diwali is celebrated around the world was shared, alongside personal experiences of celebrations in India, helping students gain a deeper understanding of the festival's traditions and values. Chocolates were also distributed, reflecting the spirit of kindness, generosity and sharing that is at the heart of Diwali. πŸ«πŸ’›

The celebrations continued in the staff room, where traditional sweets were enjoyed, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for staff.

A huge thank you to Supriya for sharing Diwali traditions and helping make the day so special for our school community. ✨πŸͺ”
