0:49:39 > 0:49:42That's it, Lucy. Hang up your coat.
0:49:43 > 0:49:47Today, Miss Mills has something special to tell the children.
0:49:47 > 0:49:50We'll have a lovely day today.
0:49:50 > 0:49:54We're going to do Diwali celebration. I'm so excited.
0:49:55 > 0:49:59Diwali is a Hindu festival of light celebrated every autumn.
0:50:00 > 0:50:04Mrs Cartmell is making something special with the children.
0:50:04 > 0:50:11At Diwali time, we make little clay lamps to bring luck to your house.
0:50:11 > 0:50:13Put the clay in your hand and squidge it
0:50:13 > 0:50:18and give it a really good squeeze and then a little roll...
0:50:18 > 0:50:21That's it, Amelie. Shape it into a lamp.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23Look! I'm doing it!
0:50:23 > 0:50:27Before they dry, we need to decorate it.
0:50:27 > 0:50:31Make some swirly patterns and you can use little dots.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33- In here? - Do whatever pattern you want.
0:50:33 > 0:50:38Mine is going to be a lovely flower.
0:50:40 > 0:50:44Look how the tool makes patterns in the clay.
0:50:44 > 0:50:46Well done, Amelie.
0:50:46 > 0:50:50The lamps are going to be painted. First, they need to dry.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59Mr Watts has been teaching the class a Diwali song
0:50:59 > 0:51:02for a very special assembly.
0:51:02 > 0:51:03So, it goes...
0:51:03 > 0:51:05# Thanking the gods. #
0:51:05 > 0:51:07Your turn.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09# Thanking the gods. #
0:51:09 > 0:51:10And again.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13# Thanking the gods. #
0:51:13 > 0:51:14Good.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17# For learning and wealth. #
0:51:17 > 0:51:18Your turn.
0:51:18 > 0:51:21# For learning and wealth. #
0:51:21 > 0:51:24- There are lots of words to learn. - The next line goes...
0:51:24 > 0:51:30# Hoping the lights bring us peace, love and health. #
0:51:30 > 0:51:34Let's sing it together. I've slowed the music right down.
0:51:34 > 0:51:35Three, four...
0:51:35 > 0:51:41# Thanking the gods for learning and wealth... #
0:51:42 > 0:51:44Jamie knows most of the words.
0:51:44 > 0:51:48# Bring us peace, love and health. #
0:51:48 > 0:51:50Right, we are ready. Let's stand up.
0:51:50 > 0:51:54Let's stretch our arms.
0:51:54 > 0:51:58Ooooh... Move those legs around a little bit so they're not all stiff.
0:52:00 > 0:52:04It's a little bit quicker. Two, three, four...
0:52:04 > 0:52:10# Thanking the gods for learning and wealth... #
0:52:10 > 0:52:14Some of the children are struggling to remember all the words.
0:52:15 > 0:52:19# Let's celebrate Diwali night... #
0:52:19 > 0:52:22Julian's getting there. And Maisy, too.
0:52:22 > 0:52:24# ..a thousand nights... #
0:52:24 > 0:52:25Yes!
0:52:25 > 0:52:30# Let's celebrate Diwali night
0:52:30 > 0:52:35# The lights of a thousand nights. #
0:52:38 > 0:52:41Well done, Reception. So the next time I see you
0:52:41 > 0:52:46will be our performance in front of lots of people.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49PLAYS DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:52:51 > 0:52:56No more time for rehearsal. How will they perform in the proper assembly?
0:53:02 > 0:53:06The lamps are finally dry and ready to be painted.
0:53:06 > 0:53:10- I'm going to use red. - You're going to use red? Right, OK.
0:53:10 > 0:53:14- And then decorate them.- Exactly. That's what we're going to do.
0:53:14 > 0:53:18- I'm doing mine carefully, Miss Cartmell.- Good girl, Amelie.
0:53:18 > 0:53:20It is quite difficult to paint
0:53:20 > 0:53:24- because the clay is soaking all of the paint up.- Yes, it is.
0:53:24 > 0:53:28It's starting to dry because it's very warm in here today.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31A purple lamp for Sophie.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34- Look at mine. - That's gorgeous, Amelie.
0:53:34 > 0:53:38- Can I go and wash my hands now? - Yes. You can go and wash your hands.
0:53:38 > 0:53:42- Look at mine.- That's very neat. Beautiful job. Well done.
0:53:44 > 0:53:48Amelie's having a bit of tap trouble.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51Can you give us a hand with this one?
0:53:51 > 0:53:54Luciana gives a helping hand.
0:54:00 > 0:54:03Time for a final decoration on the lamps.
0:54:03 > 0:54:08Let's have a look at these. These might give us some really nice ideas.
0:54:08 > 0:54:10We've got a beautiful leaf.
0:54:10 > 0:54:15And this one's got some little triangle shapes and some little dots.
0:54:15 > 0:54:19So, we've got some nice colours and this is gold paint
0:54:19 > 0:54:23and there's some silver paint as well.
0:54:23 > 0:54:25Jacob is using a shiny, green paint.
0:54:25 > 0:54:27It's a special type.
0:54:27 > 0:54:31I like what you've done with this green edge, Jacob.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34- Do you want to put some sequins on yours?- Yes.
0:54:34 > 0:54:37Now, we need some glue for that.
0:54:37 > 0:54:40- Can I put these sprinkles on? - You can do, yeah.
0:54:40 > 0:54:45So there's green glitter here and blue glitter and silver.
0:54:45 > 0:54:47- I'm using silver.- OK.
0:54:49 > 0:54:51Luciana likes the colour pink.
0:54:54 > 0:54:58- I think you're nearly done now, Jacob, aren't you?- I am.
0:54:58 > 0:55:00It's marvellous. Love it.
0:55:02 > 0:55:05Oh, look at Danielle's. It's like a little box of gems.
0:55:05 > 0:55:08They're all fabulous.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10Don't the lamps look lovely?
0:55:15 > 0:55:18It's time for the Diwali assembly.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21And everyone is putting on special outfits.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23Jacob, come here.
0:55:23 > 0:55:28Look, this is going to be your outfit for Diwali. It's an Indian costume.
0:55:28 > 0:55:30- But it's a girl one.- It's a boy one.
0:55:30 > 0:55:35Look, a boy one - they wear long tunics.
0:55:35 > 0:55:38And then, look, a pair of boy trousers. They go underneath.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41It's a boy one. Boys wear a long tunic.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43So would you wear this one for the play?
0:55:43 > 0:55:46Could you try it on for me?
0:55:47 > 0:55:50It's pretty dresses for Amelie and her friends.
0:55:50 > 0:55:53She loves this one, Miss Cartmell.

0:56:09 > 0:56:12- I love it!- You love it?- I love it.
0:56:12 > 0:56:15There's one here that's for someone quite small.
0:56:15 > 0:56:20It's like a little skirt. Someone quite petite, that.
0:56:20 > 0:56:23Lucy, would it do for you? That would do for you, Lucy.
0:56:23 > 0:56:27Do you want to go and try this one on? For you, darling.
0:56:27 > 0:56:29I will choose one for you, Sophie.
0:56:32 > 0:56:34That suits you, Sophie.

0:56:51 > 0:56:55- You look pretty. - You're like Cinderella.
0:56:56 > 0:56:58I'm going to the ball.
