Hi
Krishna,
Thank
you so much for visiting us at Cholsey yesterday! The children gained so much
from the experience. It was lovely to see them all so immersed in the dressing
up and dancing (even those who would normally be apprehensive about dressing
up!) It was lovely of Indri to link Hindu traditions and beliefs to other
religions to meet our curriculum requirements.
We
loved all the activities, our only thought was that perhaps it might have been
nice to start with the morning story of Holi so that the children fully
understood the story behind the festival before dressing up. This is only a
very minor tweak / thought though.
I have sent the link to our partnership
schools and Sam (our RE lead) had a partnership Skype meeting last night so she
recommended you there as well!
Unfortunately,
we won’t need a date for next year. As we have mixed Year 5/6 classes we teach
a two year rolling programme so it will be another two years before we get to
teach about forgiveness and Holi again, but we will definitely keep you in mind
for then!
Thank
you once again for a fantastic morning!
Lauren
