As our learning this week and next is focussed around Bonfire Night and Diwali, Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, organised an activity linked to these celebrations.
\nAs Hindus welcome Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, into their homes at Diwali, her tiny footprints are found around the house to show her arrival. The children drew round their feet and produced some wonderfully creative and individual designs on their drawings to represent Lakshmi.
\nThey also worked with their families to make chocolate sparklers which seemed to go down just as well as the sparklers at a bonfire.
\nThank you to Eileen for providing a super activity that lots of families were able to enjoy and thanks also for offering extra time slots for those who were not able to make the arranged days. We are sure that everyone had a great time and we look forward to the next Family Learning activity.<\/p>\n
