8 years ago Posted on 08th Nov 2016 by Mrs Bowes Diwali The children in Class1 have been learning about Diwali – the Hindu festival of light. This has given them a greater understanding of the world particularly in relation to other customs. In Maths they have looked at patterns and made symmetrical rangoli pictures. They have also made Barfi sweets where they had to measure out the ingredients. In Expressive arts and design they have shaped clay into divas, decorated a hand with a mehndi pattern and collaged rangolis with coloured rice. In Literacy the children have listened to the story of Rama and Sita and sequenced it. They also had to follow a recipe to make their Diwali sweets. The children have enjoyed playing Diwali games on : http://www.iboard.co.uk/teacher/bictonclass1/3 and http://resources.hwb.wales.gov.uk/VTC/ngfl/re/b-dag/ngfl-container/re-unit3-en.html
