My diya

 

Hello, today for our Diwali stuff we made Diyas a while ago and are posting them on our blog when we are done. We used modeling clay to shape small round pots with a thin bottom because if it has a thick bottom it won't dry as quick.  If you are making them with someone else you could put your initials on the bottom so they don't get mixed up. You can put cool patterns on your still wet Diya.

Next, it's time to paint, you could use pretty colours and bright colours and not too much black at all because Diwali is the festival of light so you want the colours to be bright. You could use a pencil to get in the markings and paint them. The paint drys super quick because its on proper clay. Its super fun to paint and you can put them all around your house. When you shape it it takes atleast 1-2 days to fully dry.

Then you can put candles in them. Once you have shaped and painted then you can put little candle inside light it and there you have your Diya. These were super fun to make and I finished a couple of days ago. We are taking them home once we are done and we get to keep them. I am super happy about how mine turned out and how all the patterns look. Hope you enjoy, bye.

Key word hunt and brief summary of Fly me up

 

Today, we had to read the article fly me up and then fill out this form. It was really interesting and fun.  I also liked the story and had a lot of things rushing in and out of my head while reading through the article. The article was really beautiful and had many hopeful things in the story. I hope you enjoy, bye.

Digital rangoli pattern and real life rangoli pattern

 

Hello, for our Diwali stuff we had to make rangoli, first in our maths books then do it digitally it was fun but I don't really love the one I did digitally. I searched up rangoli patterns and came up with an idea. I made the pattern and coloured it in with really bright colours. Then I just copied it onto my Chromebook, it was super fun but a little time consuming because I had to get the right shapes and copy them and also put them in the right places. Rangoli is a sign of welcome and they are meant to be sacred welcoming areas, they are also said to bring good luck.
