RE this term
How does light brighten dark days?
This unit provides an opportunity for children to explore the stories behind the festivals of light, and the ways in which the festivals are celebrated. Common elements of the stories and celebrations are considered. It extends their knowledge of the meaning behind the use of light contrasted with darkness, and the symbolism of good and evil relating to these.
