A big thank you to Mrs Sabir for being our special visitor on Tuesday. Mrs Sabir came into the Swans classroom to tell us all about a Hindu Wedding. We learnt that there are lots of similarities between Greek , Christian and Hindu Weddings but in a Hindu Wedding the bride and groom enjoy many Hindu traditions.
Mrs Sabir brought us some traditional clothing to wear for the wedding. Our bride had the giggles throughout!
We learnt that it was good luck for the groom to break a coconut by treading on it!
We also learnt that it was good luck to throw rice on the fire.
The bride and groom enjoyed being joined together and walking around the fire seven times!
Mrs Sabir was very good at putting Mehndi patterns on Mrs Murphy’s hand.
The children really enjoyed eating traditional Hindu sweets! Thank you Mrs Sabir to teaching us all about a Hindu Wedding. We really enjoyed it!
