This week in Turtles and Dolphins we have started to learn about Diwali. We read the story and acted it out and we have started to make some diva lamps. On Thursday we had so much fun working with West End in Schools to create a Diwali dance and then we created our own rangoli patterns. Today we looked at where India is and compared it to our country.
In Year 1 this week we have been recalling what happened during the Great Fire of London. We talked a lot about Samuel Pepys and why his diaries are so important. In Maths we have been learning our 3D shapes. It has been brilliant to see the children spotting these when looking at every day items. In PE we have been working on balancing. The children have been so creative showing us different ways they can balance with a bean bag on their head and then different ways of moving along a bench whilst still balancing the bean bag! We’ve also had our Diwali workshop this week. We recapped the story of Rama and Sita and then did a class dance to show the story. Everyone worked really hard and the dance looked great!
