Deepavali

Deepavali is a festival celebrated by a lot of Indians. It is based on the great epic “The Ramayana”. It is about the god Rama and his life in his kingdom, Ayodhya. Deepavali is celebrated because Rama returns from his exile of fourteen years to rule Ayodhya. It is a very important festival for Indians.

We are learning about Where we are in Place and Time:

Countries have a unique past, significant location and definite character.

A school in Japan have created a site where kids post photos they believe show Japanese Culture. Here is the link: http://grade4.posterous.com

Have a look at the blog and see the photos & descriptions the students have left.

What photos do you think would symbolise Singaporean Culture? Send an email to me and I will post your ideas.
