Class 1 autumn 2 Week 2 2026
This week we have been learning about Diwali and Remebrance day.
We began the week looking at how Hindus celebrate this colourful festival and had a go at making rangoli patterns. The children listened to the story ‘Rama and Sita’ and enjoyed acting out the story. We hope you enjoy looking at the gallery.
On Wednesday, the children listened to a story about the war and learned about why we wear poppies at this time of year. Many of the children made a poppy or printed a poppy picture.
In PE this week we practised our throwing and catching skills as well as doing lots of cross body exercises.
In music the children created firework music. They used scarves to dance to Handel’s Firework music.
In maths we explored the number 5!
Next week we will be looking closely at autumn. The children are welcome to bring in natural items such as conkers, acorns, leaves and small sticks. We will be going on an autumn walk too!
Have a super weekend!
