In our first week back we have done lots of learning all about Bonfire Night and how we might celebrate this. We talked about fireworks and how we will see lots of them on Bonfire Night!
In our Literacy learning we have been practicing a bonfire poem and having a go at making our own. In topic we have learnt about how to be safe around the fireworks, created beautiful firework pictures and done some amazing firework dances!
We have also been doing lots of learning all about the Festival of Light....Diwali!
In topic we made our own Diva lamps with clay, created rangoli patterns and practiced bhangra dancing.
We have also been learning about Diwali in Literacy and we have been exploring the story 'The Best Diwali Ever'. The children learnt about all the ways Diwali is celebrated and what foods are eaten. We then made a recipe about how to make Chapatis and then got to taste them!
