Celebrating HOLI!

As a school we participated in a HOLI workshop on Thursday 13th February. Each class learnt a Bollywood inspired dance and then we performed this as a school on the playground. After the performance, we then got to participate in the HOLI tradition of throwing power paints at each other! 🙂
