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!
