Happy Diwali
Happy Diwali
Diwali is the biggest Hindu celebration in the world because Diwali is known everywhere around the world. Diwali tells us a story about a war that happened long before we were born. The Diwali celebration is from the 18 October and it ends on the 22 October, so we are very fortunate to have a lot of days to celebrate Diwali.
We are lucky enough to have a celebration like this, I really like Diwali because there would be lots of sweets made on the day. I think that we should make it a public holiday because it is an important festival. In Hindu culture they prepare their things before the celebration in order to be ready on the day. I think that Diwali is a special celebration because it unites together sisters and brothers to give each other gifts. In the Hindu way they wake early in the morning to clean their houses, they clean theirs houses for a reason and that reason is so the Gods can come into their houses because the Gods would not come into an unclean home. During the celebration they light fireworks.
Today we drew our final rangoli designs outside with chalk and I had a lot of fun, for me I was really amazed by other students designs. They were so creative. Diwali is a Hindu festival of lights that everyone celebrates. There were so many different types of rangoli designs, it was all so beautiful. I could not choose my favorite in fact all were my favorites. There are many kinds of way making it, one way is by drawing on concrete with chalk and another way is to use powder and broken rice.
I have learnt so much about Diwali, I never knew before that Diwali was the biggest Hindu festival but I now know. What I was really amazed about was how you could make it with powder and broken rice, so that was one interesting fact I found out in my learning of Diwali.

Writing T3W10- 29/09/17
Spending 2 weeks holiday camping
Last term’s 2 week holiday I really enjoyed being with my family and with my friend, but what I enjoyed most was going on a kids camp with my little friends and church family. We had a lot of fun together and we also took a lot of photos.
What I enjoyed most about this camp was that we would always watch movies at night and we would turn the tv off until everyone was asleep, and I also enjoyed making breakfast for all the little kids early in the morning. I enjoyed how we got to play as many games at night before we went to sleep. My favorite part of watching movies every night was that we watched new movies every night and we got to eat, and for me it felt like I was in the real movies but even though I was not I was still happy to be with my church family.
What I did not enjoy was not being with my family for 2 whole weeks but at least I had my little brother to comfort me. I didn’t enjoy the part where I had to pack my stuff and say goodbye to my family. Being with my friend were okay but being without my family was not a good feeling to have, but all the fun we had made me feel like I was at home playing with my siblings. I wanted my friends to come but they forgot all about the kids camp, and some of my friends mums didn’t let them come so I just stuck with my little friends.
At the end of the OKC(only kids camp) parew7ts zoomed quickly through the gate of our church and waited for use to speed up our eating because that time it was morning and we were having breakfast. I had the feeling that I wanted to stay a few weeks but the 2 weeks holiday was over and at the same time I wanted to go home to spend time with my family.
This terms holiday is coming up and I really can’t wait because this time it is much different than the first holidays. I will be with my family for two whole weeks and we would do so much stuff together.

Word of the day- 28/09/17
Yesterday we learnt a new word and the word was concentrics, what we had to do was we had to go a google drawing and write the root word, new word, antonyms, synonyms and the meaning of the word. I went on enternet and searched it up because it was a new word for me and it was the first time I had heard of it. My favorite part was when I knew what it meant and now I know this word and now I could teach other people.
