Last week in p2/3 we were learning about Diwali, the Hindu festival of light.  We listened to the story of Rama and Sita and rewrote it in our own words, picking out the main ideas.  We all enjoyed making Diva lamps from clay and are already asking when we can make some more things from clay!

Unfortunately we are not able to do baking but some people wanted to take home a recipe for some traditional Diwali sweet treats to try out at home.

We also coloured Rangoli patterns and put them on our door and windows.  (should be on our doorstep!)   Some people remembered to try to colour them symmetrically.

Today we have been painting our lamps and can’t wait to take them home!

On the first week back at school primary 2/3 enjoyed making some Halloween decorations and writing spooky Halloween acrostic poems.

Here are some examples:

Werewolf

Whoo howls the werewolf

Eating meat

Running through the woods

Everybody look out

Werewolf is scary

Owls hoot

leaves crackling

Frightening!

By Alec p2

Witches

Witches are scary

In the darkness

Trick or treating

Children laughing

Harsh noises

Excellent fun at Halloween

Scuttling spiders

By Scarlett p3

In week 2 we learned about Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder plot.  We made some super firey bonfire pictures and used our senses to write bonfire poems.

Here are some examples:

Bonfire

Colourful, wavy, spikey, twinkling,

Like a dragon.

Loud, noisy, crackling, banging,

Like a monster.

Smokey, suffocating, charcoaly,

Like a barbeque.

Spicy, meaty, amazing,

Like a pepperoni pizza.

Bubbly, warm, relaxing,

Like being in a hot tub!

By Peter p3

 

Bonfire

Flaming, spikey, swirly, wavy,

Like a tornado.

Roaring, crunching, crackling, howling,

Like a monster.

Smokey, woody, musty, damp,

Like an old log table.

Waffles, marshmallows, lollipops and hot chocolate,

Like a lovely snack.

Warm, soft, snug, comforting,

Like a cosy blanket on my bed!
