India week

This week we join in with the school's India week.
We will start the week by showing the children where India is on the globe and  asking the children how  they think they might get there.
 We are then going to look at some photographs of the country, people and animals, and ask them what they would like to do and learn about.
Our learning focus this week will be holding a pencil effectively and correctly. We have lots of activities planned for this stage of development, decorating elephants, chalking patterns, hand printing and collage.
On Friday there will be an Indian café in the school hall, so for that event we will be making biscuits in the shape of animals that live in India eg elephants, monkeys.
For snack we will be enjoying some different Indian breads and popadoms, and the children will have the opportunity to smell some of the spices as well.
Do you have anything from India or a picture that your child would like to share with the group?

The swimming pool is open again, so afternoon swimming starts again.
