Free Diwali Drawing Sheet | Year 5 Core | BookFlik

Celebrate the Festival of Lights with our engaging Re diwali drawing sheet year 5 core resource. Designed specifically for UK National Curriculum Religious Education, this creative activity helps pupils explore the significance of Diwali, the Hindu festival symbolising the victory of light over darkness and good over evil.

Through this Re diwali drawing sheet year 5 core, children will learn about the cultural importance of diya lamps, intricate rangoli patterns, and the traditional themes of hope and renewal. Zara the zebra, our resident art enthusiast, joins the lesson to guide students as they design their own patterns, encouraging them to consider the symmetry and geometric shapes often found in rangoli art. This is an excellent way to integrate art and design with RE, allowing pupils to express their understanding of Diwali through visual storytelling and pattern-making.

Teachers can use this resource as a starter activity to spark discussion about why light is such a powerful symbol in many faiths, or as a calming independent task following a lesson on the story of Rama and Sita. The resource is carefully crafted to meet the expected standard for Year 5, ensuring that the level of detail required for the drawing tasks is both challenging and accessible. By completing this Re diwali drawing sheet year 5 core, students will demonstrate their comprehension of religious symbolism while developing their fine motor skills and artistic precision.

We have included five to seven questions that prompt pupils to reflect on their designs, such as explaining the colours they chose and describing how their patterns represent the themes of the festival. Whether you are teaching in a classroom or setting a homework task, this printable sheet provides a meaningful way to engage with world religions. Download this resource today to bring vibrant, educational, and culturally significant art into your Year 5 classroom.
