Reception celebrate Diwali!









What an exciting week we have had in Reception! Our topic this term is Celebrations and Patterns and we started off by learning about the Hindu celebration ‘Diwali’ which means festival of light.

The children were shown the story of Rama and Sita and how good triumphs over evil. We got to create our own rangoli and mehndi patterns, dress in a sari and then to finish off our learning taste some Indian food.

Most children 'had a go' at experimenting with the different tastes and were able to talk about what they liked and disliked. Ava commented "I like spicy food", Gurrehmat said she liked the Naan bread because "it is tasty". The most popular foods were the Naan bread and Poppadoms with children clearing their plates and even asking for seconds!
