Holi Festival at St Peter's 2-8

Pupils at St Peter's 2-8 had a wonderful time celebrating Holi on Friday 18 March.

Holi, an annual Hindu Festival, marks the arrival of spring and is traditionally celebrated through colour and the throwing of brightly coloured paint.

The children carefully painted their faces with powder paint before the paint throwing began.

Teachers and children wore white t-shirts to highlight the coloured paint, and the children enjoyed chasing their friends around the cricket pitch with cups of powder paint. 

It was a fantastic way to celebrate a festival which typically symbolises love, joy, happiness and new life.
