In this lesson, our inquisitive owl, Nova, invites students to explore the significance of the diya lamp and the intricate patterns of rangoli. Rather than just identifying symbols, learners will delve into the deeper philosophical meanings behind the Diwali story of Rama and Sita. This RE Diwali worksheet year 3 greater depth is perfectly aligned with the UK National Curriculum, supporting the requirement for pupils to understand religious traditions and express their own responses to questions about meaning and purpose.
Teachers can utilise this resource as a standalone challenge task for gifted and talented learners or as a supplementary activity during a multi-faith unit. The content includes a series of thought-provoking prompts designed to stretch analytical skills. Students will compare and contrast the themes of Diwali with other light-based festivals, justify the importance of community celebrations, and explain why specific symbols hold such profound weight for Hindu, Sikh, and Jain communities.
Each section includes extension tasks that require pupils to apply their knowledge creatively. For example, one task asks learners to justify how the act of giving gifts reflects the festival’s core values, while another invites them to consider what might happen if the traditions of Diwali were adapted for a modern, globalised society.
