We have had an amazing day celebrating Eid! Over the past couple of weeks we have been learning about Ramadan and Eid and wished our friends Eid Mubarak last week. Today we got to see lots of the things we have learned about in practise and particularly enjoyed making some tasty chocolate strawberries and dates. We hope you enjoy the photos below which show how fun our day has been!

We all looked amazing in our outfits…

We created pictures of mosques with chalk and enjoyed using playdough to make various creations related to Ramadan and Eid.

   

We started our day of activities by visiting the open area which had some lovely stories for us to explore and teddies to dress in an outfit suitable for an Eid celebration.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

    

We were very excited to receive our Mehndi and delighted to show our design to each other.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

    

We then decorated a moon crescent with tissue paper. We have been learning about the importance of the moon to Ramadan and Eid.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

    

The highlight was making chocolate strawberries and dates. We loved dipping them into the chocolate and were very excited to eat them after school.

Thank you very much to our parent helpers and all of the staff who helped make this day amazing!

We have had a great week in P1C! It has been so lovely being back together again after the Easter Holidays. We began our week writing all about our Easter Holidays and then we shared our writing with our friends during Circle Time. We have also been working hard consolidating our sounds and common words this week.

In Numeracy and Maths this week, we continued to learn about 2D and 3D shapes. We looked at the features of 2D and 3D shapes and we had a go at creating different 3D shapes using the sticks and balls. Some of us created different models using the 3D shapes.

In Maths this week, we have also been exploring numbers up to 50. We had to find the missing numbers from the number strips and had to use the magnifying glass to find different numbers.

For Earth Day, we discussed the importance of looking after our planet. We decided to create our own seed bombs to throw in our garden. To make our seed bombs we had to rip recycled paper up into really small pieces and soak it in water. Once it was ready we carefully put it in the blender and then made little balls from our mixture so that we could add our seeds. We are now letting them dry and can’t wait to plant them in our garden.
