EYFS – Light Up the Sky!

We have had a fantastic start to our new topic, ‘Light Up the Sky!’, where we are exploring different celebrations and special events.

This week, we have been learning all about Diwali, the Festival of Lights. The children have enjoyed finding out how Diwali is celebrated and have been busy creating their very own diya lamps using clay. Next week, they will be designing and painting their lamps, ready to bring their creations to life. Watch this space!

We have also been learning about Bonfire Night and Remembrance Sunday, talking about why these occasions are important and how people mark them. The children enjoyed exploring how chocolate melts and making some edible sparklers!

In maths, we have been focusing on numbers 1, 2 and 3, developing our counting, number recognition and understanding of these numbers through lots of practical activities.

In literacy, we have launched Drawing Club! The children absolutely loved their first sessions, inspired by the story ‘Room on the Broom’. They have been using their wonderful imaginations to invent characters and create special magic codes to make them do something silly! They also designed their very own broomsticks, giving each one an amazing superpower! We have loved seeing their creativity and enthusiasm shine through.

What a busy and exciting start to our new topic! We can't wait to see where our learning takes us next!

 

It's all about celebrations in EYFS!
