Bonfire Celebrations As part of our bonfire night celebrations, the children had lots of fun creating their very own pretend ‘bonfire’. We toasted marshmallows and enjoyed stories and songs around the fire! The children also created their very own pretend sparklers, and took part in lots of bonfire-themed crafts and sensory trays!

Diwali Festivities The children had lots of fun celebrating Diwali. It was great to see some pictures from our families and share them with the children. We also learnt all about the story of Rama and Sita spoke about how light always beats the darkness. Throughout the week we learnt how to make Mendi and rangoli patterns and played in some colourful Diwali tuff trays. Everyone also enjoyed a delicious Diwali-inspired lunch!

Remembrance Sunday For Remembrance Day, the Swans children learnt why people choose to wear poppies. They learnt about how poppies grew on lots of fields where soldiers had protected us. They explored the different coloured poppies; how the red poppies remember the soldiers, the purple to remember the animal’s service, the black to remember all the people of colour during the war and how the white poppies are the hope that we will not have another war and maintain peace. The younger children created their very own poppies and explored lots of themed tuff trays too!
