Eco Friendly Pumpkins – Waste management

*Responsible Citizens*  *Effective Contributors*   *Successful Learners*

As part of our Eco targets and Globals Goals this year, we took on the challenge of making Eco friendly pumpkins.  We had great fun carving our pumpkins and creating autumnal artwork with them. We then decided to turn our pumkins into bird feeders.

It is good fun carving pumpkins but we are really  wasting food if they are just left to rot.  By filling them with bird seed we are helping to reduce our food waste footprint whilst also feeding the birds that visit our sensory garden.

Celebrating Diwali

Successful Learners/Confident Individuals/Responsible Citizens

The Asteroids celebrated Diwali this morning – the Festival of Lights.

We practised the Diwali Makaton sign and learned about the different things people do to celebrate Diwali. One of these being creating a Rangoli to place at their front doors. These are very colourful and we made our very own using different shapes, pom poms and glitter. We even threaded some beads to make tassels for it! We enjoyed celebrating light over darkness by having our own sensory light experience inthe classroom.

Well done, Asteroids!

Diwali

*Effective Contributors    *Successful Learners

We were busy doing Diwali activities today. We watched a powerpoint to tell us all about the ‘Festival of Light’ then afterwards made salt dough and used this to create diva lamps. They have yet to be dried and painted but they’re looking good already. We watched Diwali videos and made colourful Rangoli pattern window decorations which looked wonderful with the sun shining through them.

RME Diwali

We have been learning about Diwali the Hindu festival of lights. The Bluebells enjoyed a sensory story where we explored sensory props and took part in role play to learn about the celebration. In the Bluebells the children were confident individuals following instructions to make diva lamps. We were successful learners when we created rangoli patterns using different art materials including rice, sand and paint. Mehndi patterns are a traditional Hindu hand decoration we used crayons to create our own. A massive congratulations to the Bluebells who won the rangoli competition.

 

Mrs Gilchrist.
