Diwali Workshops

5th November 2022N Sikka

This week the children had a fantastic opportunity to take part in R.E workshops based around the Indian festival Lights ‘Diwali’. Diwali is the five-day Festival of Lights, celebrated by millions of Hindus, Sikhs and Jains across the world. Diwali, which for some also coincides with harvest and New Year celebrations, is a festival of new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness.  Kalpesh from K’z Dance Entertainment Ltd taught all the children some traditional Bollywood Indian dances and discussed with them the  meaning of the Diwali festival and taught them the story of Rama and Sita. The children ended their workshops with a traditional Diwali dance using sticks (Dhandhiya). The children and staff thoroughly enjoyed themselves and displayed some fantastic moves.

Reception Harvest Festival – no social media

5th November 2022K Richardson

We have been learning about the Harvest Festival, why we traditionally have this festival in the UK and why. We then looked at various foods including fruit and vegetables and where they come from.  The children used their senses to describe how they looked, felt and  smell. They then became artists and drew some of the foods! Later, we will be tasting some vegetable soup!

Our Upper Key Stage Two Boys’ Football Team played their next round of matches on Tuesday evening, winning both games and scoring an impressive 12 goals in the process! The team are playing with a lot of confidence and some of the goals have been fantastic passing moves. Special mention to captain Jayden who scored with a long-range effort that can only be described as a ‘worldie’! Well done boys and well done to all of the players representing their schools on the night.

This half term Year 3 have been learning all about animation in our Learning Means The World theme ‘That’s All Folks’. We were very fortunate to have a visit from Mr. Robert from the OpenZone who taught the children how to create animations using iPads. The children used a form of animation that we have been learning about which was Stop-Motion animation. They had a great day and created some amazing animations!
