To mark this special occasion, the children enjoyed a range of creative and sensory activities: - **Designing beautiful Rangoli patterns** using stickers and beads. - Exploring **Diya lamps** in our curiosity cube. - Crafting their very own lamps to take home and share with family. These hands-on experiences helped pupils learn about the **importance of light, joy, and togetherness** in Diwali celebrations, while encouraging creativity and cultural understanding. ![](https://st-wilfrid-s-r-c-v-a-primary-school-2.schudio.com/images/Diwali_2.jpg) [First Steps](https://st-wilfrid-s-r-c-v-a-primary-school-2.schudio.com/news/tag/first-steps) [ November News](https://st-wilfrid-s-r-c-v-a-primary-school-2.schudio.com/news/2025-11-07-november-news) [December News ](https://st-wilfrid-s-r-c-v-a-primary-school-2.schudio.com/news/2025-12-04-december-news) ![St Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-wilfrid-s-r-c-v-a-primary-school-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School Murphy Crescent Bishop Auckland County Durham DL14 6QH 01388 603451 ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stwilfridscatholicprimaryschoolba/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stwilfrids_bishopauckland/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-wilfrid-s-r-c-v-a-primary-school-2.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
