A GROUP of toddlers learnt about a popular Hindu celebration last week.
The youngsters from Flora House nursery in Darlington held their own Divali festival, which is the Hindu celebration of light.
Nursery assistants Brenda Dodsworth and Karen Groves dressed up in saris for the day and helped the children at the nursery to learn special Hindu songs and dances.
The children also got the chance to try on traditional costumes and to taste the special sweets made for the Divali festival.
Ms Dodsworth said: "We held the celebration as part of our work to introduce the children to different cultures."
