Week beginning 4th November
We hope you have all enjoyed a well-earned break this week and are looking forward to returning to The Barn for the run up to Christmas. Millions of people around the world have recently celebrated the festival of Diwali and, this week, we are going to have fun finding out about some of the customs, dressing up and making colourful patterns with rice, coloured sand and powder paint. The themed area has been transformed into a colourful space for friends to celebrate and, in the home corner, we will be busy cleaning and cooking.
We will also be discussing Bonfire night and firework safety this week and will have a special indoor firework demonstration which all children can watch with the lights down low.
Christmas preparations have begun and, everywhere, there is a fine sprinkle of glitter! Children will continue to come home with their paintings, drawings and mark makings, but any special Christmas crafts will stay at The Barn until the end of term.
The word of the week for the Discoverers is rangoli.
