Diwali- Reception

This week we have been learning all about Diwali. We have shared books with information about Diwali, made some Diya lamps with playdough and written some Diwali cards. The children absolutely loved learning about Rangoli patterns and have had lots of fun designing our own Rangoli patterns on the school playground using chalk.

Reception’s Odd sock day

We have had a lovely day today for Odd sock day. We had a special assembly all about celebrating our differences and how it would be a very boring world if we were all the same. We have worn odd socks today to help us remember the importance of everyone being different and how we should be kind to everyone.




Dentist visit

On Tuesday, we had a visit from a lady from the 0-19 healthcare team. She talked to us about how to keep our teeth nice and healthy. We talked about how to brush our teeth effectively, how long to brush for and how often. We also talked about spitting and not rinsing. We talked about which foods were healthy for our teeth and had a go at brushing the dragons teeth.
