Reception have had a fantastic week exploring the wonderful festival of Diwali! The children were fascinated by the story of Rama and Sita, learning all about why Diwali is celebrated as the Festival of Light. In our small world area, they brilliantly retold the story using picture prompts. We then took our learning outdoors, cooking up imaginative Diwali treats in the mud kitchen and creating bright, beautiful Rangoli patterns on the floor with colourful chalk!
