We would like to welcome you back to a new half term at Little Crickets and hope you all had a lovely break.

This week we will be teaching children about Diwali and Bhandi Chorr.  We will talk to children about the various ways in which Hindus and Sikhs celebrate these festivals.

Children will be decorating divas and will learn all about the importance of light in both of these festivals. We will ask children how they celebrate their own festivals and look at differences in celebrations around the world.

To take this learning further we will look at the food that is eaten during these celebrations.

If your family is celebrating Diwali or Bhandhi Chorr we wish you happy celebrations. Please be safe and enjoy your day.
