This week we have
been thinking about the Hindu festival of Diwali, the Festival of Light. On
Wednesday we sampled some Indian food, the children had the opportunity to try
onion bajis, vegetable samosas, garlic naan bread, pilau rice and poppadoms. It
was lovely to see so many children enjoying the food! After, they tidied up and
washed their own plates.
Here the children are enjoying
some of the other activities this week:
Acting out the story of Rama and Sita with masks
in the outside classroom.
Trying on
traditional clothes in the role play.
Taking a number card
and adding one more, then counting out the correct number of Divas to check
their answer.
Making rice, pebble
and shape Rangoli patterns to bring good luck.
Writing Diwali cards
to their friends.
(Proud teacher
moment!) Just look at the independent writing table on a Friday afternoon. These
children have chosen to write adjectives to describe their favourite characters
from the Diwali story of Rama and Sita. It is great to see them become excited
about writing and listen to them talk about vocabulary.
