RE Workshop- Ganesh Chaturthi

  Today we had great discussions around birthdays and how we celebrate them. This led on to us thinking about how the Hindu God Ganesh's birthday is celebrated. We noticed lots of similarities between how some people celebrate Ganesh's birthday at Ganesh Chaturthi and how we celebrate our own birthdays, from decorating with lots of color, sharing special meals with friends and families, to having sweet treats and music. We attempted to draw our own Ganesh which proved to be tricky but overall successful. Finally we thought about how Ganesh Chaturthi is similar and different to a Christian Christmas.
