Reception celebrated Chinese New Year by cleaning the classroom, making cards and dragons and even cooking Chinese food!
Diwali Lamps
Today Reception took home their brilliantly decorated Diwali lamps, which we made out of clay last week, to celebrate the Hindu and Sikh Festival.
Diwali Celebration 2018
Happy Diwali Everyone!
Reception celebrated Diwali by creating Rangoli Patterns by our door, using chalk and paint. We discovered that this was done as a way to welcome the God Lakshmi into buildings. It was really fun once the colours started to blend together in the rain! We also acted out the story of Rama and Sita, and made Diwali cards.
Diwali
Year 1 learnt all about Diwali today. We talked about the festival of light and why diva lamps are lit. We had great fun using our creative skills to make our own diva lamps and we are looking forward to decorating them later in the week when the clay has dried.
