In EYFS we have been learning all about the festival of Diwali. We have watched a video on CBeebies about how a little girl celebrates this special time with her family. We also looked at some pictures about found out different ways in which Diwali is celebrated. Children in F1 have made their own Diva lamps which they took home with a special candle to light. Also the children have explored some sparkly Diwali themed water and mark making activities. They have made Diwali cards and designed rangoli patterns. They have also drawn Henna tattoos on the handprints and designed a Diva lamp on purple mash too. Outside we listened to some traditional Diwali music and the children played along with the instruments and did some firework dancing. Children in F2 recorded different ways of celebrating Diwali through pictures and did some fantastic firework dancing on our outdoor stage to some Diwali music.
