Planned trips
We have a trip booked to the farm, which is always popular with the children:
- 8th May - Blackberry Farm
The children enjoyed their trip to the local library.
You can discuss the curriculum with your child
Our learning this half-term is based on ‘Festivals and Lights’. This will focus on two books: Diwali (a non-fiction text) and ‘Ten Little Lights’ (a fictional story). These will help the children learn about the Hindu festival of light, Diwali, and this will stimulate our circle time session around the question: ‘What celebrations, festivals and special times do we celebrate? As a class, we will then make a list of them. We will begin to recognise and understand that people have different beliefs and celebrate special times in different ways.
Please spend a few minutes chatting with your child and ask them some simple questions, such as: What things do you celebrate in your family? What kinds of things do you do to celebrate? Who celebrates with you? Do you have a favourite or special celebration? How do festivals and celebrations make you feel? Do you like the dark? What makes light?
It would be great if you write your child’s ideas, questions and comments in the speech bubble below and return this back to the Turtle Class team:
