Last Friday afternoon, CHPA pupils enjoyed learning about the celebration of Diwali, the Festival of Lights. Diwali is one of the most important festivals in Hinduism and is celebrated by millions of people around the world. It symbolises the victory of light over darkness and good over evil.

Throughout the afternoon, pupils took part in a range of exciting activities linked to Diwali. They created colourful fireworks pictures inspired by the spectacular displays often seen during the festival, designed beautiful rangoli patterns using traditional shapes and colours, and crafted lanterns to represent the light that is central to Diwali celebrations. Pupils also enjoyed learning about the story of Rama and Sita, bringing the tale to life through handmade puppets and storytelling activities.

The afternoon was filled with creativity, curiosity, and enjoyment as pupils explored the traditions of this special festival. It was wonderful to see everyone engaging so enthusiastically and learning about a celebration that is enjoyed by families and communities across the world.

Children in Need 2026

On Friday 13th November, we will be supporting Children in Need by encouraging all pupils to get active while raising money for a fantastic cause. Pupils are invited to attend wearing their PE kit, sportswear or Children in Need merchandise and are asked to bring a £1 donation.

Throughout the day, pupils will take part in Joe Wicks’ Activate session and our exciting Run a Mile Challenge. Every pupil will contribute a mile towards a combined class total, helping their class reach, or come close to, the distance of a marathon. This is a wonderful opportunity for pupils to learn how small individual efforts can combine to achieve something truly amazing, while having fun, keeping active and supporting children and young people across the UK.
