Happy Diwali!

Today the children learnt all about the Hindu Festival of Light – Diwali! They also had a go at making some dot Rangoli patterns with chalk outside. Inside we had a lovely time painting and colouring in Rangoli patterns whilst listening to some amazing Indian music.

History

This week we started our new history topic linked to how lives have changed over the last 70 years. On Wednesday afternoon we focused on music, both the way it was listened to and the music that was popular during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The children loved getting up and having a dance to some real classics! We’ll be exploring more recent decades next week. Please do comment on music that you loved when you were teenagers and we can have a listen in school.
