Happy Diwali

 We have been investigating the festival of Diwali.  We completed Rangoli patterns at the end of our research. 

New learning included how to wish someone a Happy Diwali. 

To greet someone in Hindi for Diwali it’s best to say ‘Diwali ki Shubhkamnayein’ or ‘Shush Deepavali’. These both mean Happy Diwali. 
Meanwhile in Punjabi it would be ‘Tuhanu Diwali diyan boht both vadhaiyan’ and in Marathi ‘Shush Diwali’.
Deepavali Nalvazhthukal is the best way to greet someone in Tamil.
