This week, the children learned about Diwali by reading 'The Best Diwali Ever' by Sonali Shah. The children explored Diwali traditions through creative activities like making rangoli patterns, designing mehndi art, and crafting their own diya lamps. A special visitor also joined us to teach a Diwali-inspired dance, which the children loved! It was a joyful week full of colour, movement, and learning about how different people celebrate special occasions🪔
We also learned about Alma Thomas, an artist from the past. Her story helped us talk about kindness, respect, and celebrating what makes each of us unique. The children were inspired by Alma's colourful, abstract artwork and created their own expressive pieces using shape, colour and pattern. It was a wonderful way to explore art while learning important values like empathy and inclusion 🖌️
