Autumn 2

 Diwali: 

We started our ‘Festivals and Celebrations’ topic by learning about Diwali. We listened to the story of Rama and Sita and Dipal’s Diwali. We made our own Rangoli patterns using chalk in the outdoor area, decorated hands with Mehndi and made our own Diya lamps, using clay and paper plates. 

Bonfire Night:

Next, we learnt about Bonfire Night. We made rockets, sparklers and colourful fireworks using different media and materials. We also built a camp fire on the school field and toasted marshmallows!

Christmas

We learnt about the Christmas story. We enjoyed acting it out in provision, creating special characters using different media and materials and performing our Foundation Stage Nativity for our families and the rest of school.
