This week in Reception we have been looking at Diwali. Our focus book has been the story of Rama and Sita and the children have enjoyed learning the story and acting it out using colourful masks.
We made diya lamps out of clay, with the children drawing around their hands and then using a variety of small tools to make patterns in the clay.
After looking at examples of wonderful rangoli patterns, the children then had a go at creating their own rangolis using paper doilies and tissue paper shapes.
We have also continued with our phonics; and in maths we have been exploring the composition of number to five. ‘Musical number bonds’ has proved a particular hit!
