We have enjoyed learning about Diwali, also known as the festival of light. The children listened to the story of Rama & Sita before watching a video about how some families like to celebrate Diwali.

We have loved using the natural resources brought in by parents from your autumn hunts for a variety of exciting crafts and activities! Take a look at some of the fun we've been having:

We have also been discussing the different kinds of food we can eat to keep our bodies warm during the colder Autumn months. Our first class poem has helped us with some ideas!
