Happy Diwali

It is Diwali and we wanted to say Happy Diwali to Bukit Timah Primary School in Singapore. 
Ridley: We were celebrating saying thank you to god and reading a special note. We put flowers, milk and money into the pot. We light candles because it is the festival of lights.


"This is me at Rongatai school celebrating Diwali. We did some performances. People did dances and people sang. Some people did a play and most of it was in Hindi and Bengali. The clothes are traditional Indian clothes. I wore a sari for one of the days".


Please add anything that you have learnt in the Padlet below:

Video Call with Bukit Timah School/ Singapore


We did a video call with Bukit Timah Primary School on the 15th of October. Nicola went to visit this school last term!
They asked a lot of  questions and we asked a lot of questions. They answered a lot of questions and we answered a lot of questions. They have around 900 pupils and they have 20 ish pupils in a class.
Singapore does have a few lightning storms because they have a very hot climate so most of them wear shorts or skirts.
They asked us if our teachers are fierce. We told them that our teachers are funny.
You might think it is an old school because they do have lots of desks.
They speak Tamil, English, Malay and Chinese and a lot of other different languges.
We enjoyed our video call with Bukit Timah School and we look forward to doing it again soon.
