This half-term we have welcomed lots of parents and grandparents into nursery to share different books with the children. We really value the importance of early reading, and it has been wonderful to see so many adults attending,
During half-term it was Diwali the Hindu and Sikh festival of light. It is a wonderful festival to celebrate with young children as there are so many sensory and creative activities to involve children in. The children were invited to make clay Divas, Rangoli patterns and Mendhi art. The children loved dressing in Asian clothes and dancing using our finger lights. We also looked at Diwali cards, dance sticks, jewellery and watched some Diwali celebrations. We hope everyone who celebrated Diwali had a wonderful time.
We celebrated Bonfire night with yummy firework chocolate snacks, colour explorations both inside and out and making our own firework dances.
