RD's Remembrance Day Poppies 11.11.23
Diwali - The Festival of Light in RD
WB 06th November 2023
In RD this week, we have been busy making Diya Lamps to celebrate the festival of light (the biggest Hindu festival of the year). We are aiming to meet our reception early learning goal of 'To Know some similarities and differences between different religious and cultural communities in this country, drawing on their experiences and what has been read in class.' The children listened to a story and made the Diya lamps to take home to help them celebrate the festival of light. It is believed by Hindu's that the Diya Lamp helps to protect the family. We used our fine motor skills to mould the clay and decorate the lamp with tiny gems. Very tricky! But we did it! and we were amazing at it. We hope you like them.
In RS we have made self-portraits. We used a mirror to look carefully at our features and talked about what we looked like. We noticed that we are all different and we are all unique. What do you think of our self- portraits?
