Holi Festival 2026

Today, Wednesday 4th March, we enjoyed celebrating the Hindu festival of Holi in school.

Holi is known as the Festival of Colours and is celebrated by Hindus around the world. It marks the arrival of spring and symbolises joy, new beginnings, and the triumph of good over evil. During Holi, people come together to celebrate with music, dancing, and by throwing brightly coloured powders as a sign of happiness and unity.

Throughout the day, the children learnt about the meaning and importance of Holi in class. They took part in a range of engaging activities to deepen their understanding of the festival’s traditions, stories, and values.

We ended our celebrations with a fantastic sponsored colour run, which the children thoroughly enjoyed! Thanks to the generosity and support of our families,

we have raised over £1400 so far. This money will go to CAFOD to support their vital charitable work.
