Diwali and Bonfire Night

This term we will be looking at many different celebrations such as Diwali, Bonfire Night, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

To start the term off we have been learning about Diwali and Bonfire Night.  The children have made Diva Lamps from the story Rama and Sita.

The children have independently made sparklers from different materials.  They had to think about how to join the pieces together unaided.

In Ltieracy the children have written words to describe the sounds fireworks make.  This activity encouraged them to use lots of phonics and blending.

Mrs Sibley took the children for maths on Thursday where they learnt about Capacity.  They used water, sand, marbles and pasta.  The children had to talk about the containers they used and whether they were full, half full or empty.
