Indian Culture


On Friday last week we were very lucky to have Adu’s mum Pri come in and teach us some things about the Indian culture. 

She put little dots on all of the girls’ foreheads which are called bindi’s.  

 She read us two stories – one about the different places in India and one about a festival they celebrate called Diwali.
 She taught us to count to ten in Hindi. 
 We were very lucky at the end to try some Indian sweets too!

We also learnt that the national bird in India is the peacock, and the national animal is a tiger. Thank you Pri!
