Let all that you do be done in Love
1 Corinthians 16:14
This half term we will be exploring the question:
Peace
We are thinking about our value peace. We will be thinking what when we need peace and will create a peaceful area in our classroom for children to use. We will be looking at stories from the bible to help us understand more about what it means and how we can develop this value within ourselves.
We learnt about what happens on Bonfire Night. We enjoyed watching a video of fireworks and making firework noises ourselves. We made firework patterns in a tray of glitter, made fireworks in dough and danced with ribbons to music, pretending to be fireworks.
We learnt about Diwali, the Hindu 'festival of light'. We listened to the story of Rama and Sita, and watched a video to find out how Diwali is celebrated. We explored light and colour with torches. We made diya's with playdough, adding tea light candles and sequins to decorate. We used powder paint to create rangoli patterns on the floor outside.
We watched a video on CBebbies about Remembrance, and made our own poppy paintings in response.
We read the book 'Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns'. We talked about how Eid is celebrated. Children talked about their own experiences of saying prayers and visiting places of worship. We made mosques with blocks, building minarets and adding domes. We used 2D shapes to make patterns.
