Reception - Celebrating the Hindu Festival of Holi!
Our Reception class had a fantastic time learning about and celebrating the Hindu Festival of Holi – the festival of colours! The children enjoyed exploring colour through a variety of creative activities. Outside, they used spray bottles filled with vibrant paints to create beautiful art on large sheets of paper, mimicking the joyful splashes of colour seen during Holi celebrations. Indoors, they used digital tools on the interactive whiteboard to create their own colourful masterpieces, experimenting with shape, colour, and design. It was a fun, engaging way to learn about different cultures and traditions while developing our artistic and fine motor skills. What a colourful afternoon we had!
Nursery - R.E - Exploring Colours In Relation To Holi Celebrations
What a colourful and exciting time we've had today, just like the wonderful Holi festival that Hindu people celebrate! We popped water balloons and made so many bright colours appear. The children were fantastic at naming all the colours – red, blue, yellow, green, purple and orange! And it was amazing to watch how the colours mixed together to make new ones. Just like Holi is a celebration of joy and colour, we've filled our classroom with happiness and beautiful colours today. Well done, everyone, for being such brilliant colour explorers!

For world book day this year the children were tasked with decorating a potato! In Nursery class we made Mr Potato heads using different facial features and accessories. The children used their knowledge of facial proportions to select and place the correct features on their potatoes.

Well done everyone, what a great way to celebrate world book day.
