The Little Birds were excited to return to Nursery following the half-term break. They spoke about the outings and celebrations shared with their family and friends, including Diwali and firework night.
‘Looking at the world we live in’
Here we are talking to our friends about fireworks. Some of the Little Birds told their friends about Diwali explaining to the whole class, speaking about the world in which they live. Little Birds made firework patterns using paint.
Some of the Little Birds recalled that the fireworks went “bang, bang”.
We listened to the story of “Rama and Sita” at circle time and learnt about the Festival of Lights and Diwali.
At Focus group time the children had the opportunity to make Diva lamps from salt dough and using their fine motor skills to decorate the models with gems and sequins.
Using fine motor skills, they also made Rangoli patterns using rice.
The Little Birds listened to the story ‘Flash, Bang, Whee’.
They spoke about their own experiences of attending firework displays with their family members. Little Birds recalled their feelings, developing their emotions, and communication.
