Diva Lamps

This we week have been thinking about Diwali, which will be celebrated on Wednesday 11th November 2015.  We read the story of Rama and Sita and learned that Diva lamps were used to celebrate the happy ending.

We designed our own Diva lamps and then used clay to make them.

First we rolled our clay into a ball.

Then we used our thumbs to make a hole in the clay, big enough to fit in a tea light.

Next we used an old pencil to put some patterns onto our pot.

When our pots are dry we are going to paint them to make them more colourful.
