Rangoli Art

What a super first day we have had in India Class! The children created some beautiful Rangoli art work using flower petals and leaves in groups. Rangoli is an ancient Indian art form that involves creating intricate patterns on the floor or ground to celebrate occasions or as a daily ritual. We celebrated our first day as a class together!
