At Burlington we are very proud of our diverse community. We know that many families will be celebrating lots of different religious festivals throughout the year. We would like the children to share their news of how they celebrate festivals at home with their families. Children might want to bring things in from home to show and tell or could share photos/videos uploaded onto Tapestry. For example:

What was the festival/celebration? Why is it celebrated?
Was there a special meal? What did they eat?
Did anyone wear special clothes for the festival? Can they bring it in to show the class or show the class a photo?
Were there any activities – singing, praying, fasting, dancing, gift giving…
Was their home decorated? What did it look like?
Were there any visits to anywhere or any visitors to the home?

Parents, if you would like to volunteer to come into school and tell your child's class about specific religious festivals, we would love to hear from you. Please let your class teacher know.
