Our Foxes have been learning about the story of Rama and Sita linked to our topic of Festivals. We also learnt about Diwali and how it is celebrated throughout the world in different ways. We enjoyed sharing each other's celebrations during our lessons. It was so wonderful to see all the beautiful traditions and how people celebrate special occasions with their families. Our Foxes are really looking forward to learning about upcoming festival such as Hannukah, Christmas, Eid, Lunar New Year, Easter (Just to name a few!) In Maths, we learnt about repeating patterns and the composition of number! In Literacy, we learnt how to retell the story and to describe characters in detail. 

During exploring time, we carried out the following activities: 

-Moulding and sculpting to create Diva Lamps 

-Dressing up in traditional clothing

-Creating a bridge (part of Rama and Sita story)

-Creating Rangoli repeating patterns using coloured rice

-Finding different ways to represent numbers

-Exploring and tasting different types of Asian food such as poppadoms and naan bread

-Developing our gross motor skills in Gymnastics.

-Exploring books in our reading den

-Using our gross motor skills outside, brushing leaves and exploring our Autumnal outdoor area!
