Wow! What a busy week F2 have had learning all about and celebrating all things Diwali… The Festival of Lights! We have had so much fun exploring our classroom this week, learning all about the story of the first Diwali ‘Rama and Sita’ and immersing ourselves in typical Diwali traditions and celebrations. We have created our own Mendhi hands, Diva pots, explored traditional spices and their smells! Created Rangoli patterns, dressed in special clothes and jewellery, practised our mark making skills and even had a visit to the library to find out more amazing facts on Diwali traditions and ceremonies!

It has been a very colourful and fun week, and as usual the children have all loved getting stuck in with our fantastic activities and topic! Next week it’s the start of our new book…’You Must Bring a Hat‘ and don’t forget to bring one in…(a hat that is!)
