A week of and Reflection and Celebration.

This week, the children have been celebrating Diwali and Bonfire Night, as well as paying their respects in the lead up to Remembrance Day.

The children have enjoyed learning about Diwali and discussing how some of the traditions are similar to festivals that many of us celebrate, such as Christmas. They had great fun creating Rangoli patterns using coloured sand and glitter in our cut and stick area. Later in the week, they carefully crafted their own Diva lamps with salt dough, showing fantastic creativity and concentration.

The children have also been learning about Bonfire Night, including the importance of staying safe around fireworks and bonfires. They enjoyed creating bright bonfire pictures using tissue paper and card and used different sized marbles to create colourful firework paintings.
