Week 1

It was lovely to have all the children back this week.

This week we learnt about the Hindu and Sikh festival of Diwali. We read the story of Rama and Sita, the story of Diwali, and learnt why it was called the festival of lights. We created Mehendi patterns, rangoli patterns and our own Diya lamps.

In Forest School we created a collaborative Mandala from leaves, sticks berries and feathers. We also enjoyed trying to catch the falling leaves as they blew from the trees in the breeze.

We also heard the story of Guy Fawkes and the history behind Bonfire Night.

In Maths we looked again at repeating patterns to deepen our understanding. We also continue to compare quantities. This time we needed to ensure we were listening carefully as we played a game of "the winner is..." because it could be the one with fewest objects or the one with more. We also learnt to use the term equal to if they had the same quantity.
