We had a very happy Diwali at St Johns Kindergarten. Tamariki had a week of fun with mandala chalking, diya making, rangoli art, mandala screen printing, Bollywood dancing, puri making and lots and lots of singing. Whānau joined us for an Indian lunch and on the last day we had a Diwali disco where we used a rubbish bin and paper cups to create smoke rings as part of our STEAM learning experiences. Bernoulli’s principle explains the smoke ring vortex: the faster a flow of air is moving the lower the pressure. Fast air flow in the smoke filled cup is created by hitting the paper membrane.
