Divali Day



 As part of our topic on 'Celebrations' we had a Divali Day.
We learned about the beautiful rangoli patterns that are put on doorsteps at Divali to bring good luck.  We coloured in our own  rangoli patterns making sure the patterns were symmetrical.







We also made rangoli patterns on the iboard.



We used numicon to make symmetrical rangoli patterns.




 We made a giant rangoli pattern by drawing round 2s shapes and covering the shapes with glitter.




We made Divali paper chains and hung them around the classroom.








We made symmetrical patterns with the wooden shapes.









 We found India on the globe.





We finished off the day by having a Divali Party in the hall. We dressed up in some traidtional Indian clothes and danced to Indian music.






Then we ate some indian food. We tried poppadoms, samosas, onion bhajis, naan bread and mango chutney.  It was all delicious!

Sports Day and Forest School

We really enjoyed our first Sport's Day! We did lots of races including the sack, running, bean bag and hurdles.  Mr Thompson was very proud of us all.   We had lots of fun at Forest School searching for bugs. We even found a slow worm! We really enjoyed the balancing ropes and everyone was able to walk across without falling off.

Trip to the Farm Park

We fed the very greedy goats! Their tongues tickled our hands which we found very funny! We climbed up to the top of the viewing tower so we could see the whole farm park. We could see for miles too.   After lunch  we played a game where we had to sort the animals into those who lay eggs and those who don't.  We were very good at this. We went exploring in the discovery barn where we stroked a rabbit and saw lots of different animals. We also stroked the sheep who were very friendly! At the end of the day we went back onto the bus and travelled back to school.  We had an amazing day!
