This book moves chronologically through the calendar year and looks at the typical events, customs and celebrations celebrated by Hindu children. Festivals such as Divali and Holi, and personal customs such as Raksha Bandhan are explored through the use of religious articles, books, buildings, symbols and food. Look inside eight-year-old Dhara's diary to read what it's like to be at each event. This book links to the following units in the DfES Schemes of Work: What does it mean to belong? (Year 1, looking at religious symbols, clothes, buildings and festivals), beliefs and practice - generic (Year 1), celebrations - generic (Year 2), and, What do signs and symbols mean in religion? (Year 3).
