St Leonard's Reception 2019-2020

This term our topic is focused around ‘Celebrations’. We are going to be learning about different cultures and how they celebrate their festivals during this term.

This week we have been focusing on Diwali. Diwali is also known as the ‘festival of light’ used to welcome in the new year for Hindus. It lasts around five days and it is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and some Muslims. We have been involved in many exciting activities to reflect Diwali from making diva lamp using cd’s and jewels, designing our own Rangoli patterns and exploring the key points in the story of Rama and Sita.

Thank you so much for attending our Stay and Play session!

The children really enjoyed spending time with their parents and showing them how they learn!
