Nursery/Reception - Diwali Lamps

"We warmed up the clay."

"We rolled the clay into a ball."

"We pushed our thumb into the ball to make a hole."

"We pinched the top of the clay to make the hole bigger."

"We put a candle into the hole to check to see if it was big enough."

"We rubbed it carefully and gently to get rid of any cracks."

"We made some holes with a pencil around the side of our lamp to make it look pretty."

"Miss Roberts wrote our name on the bottom of our lamp."

Nursery/Reception - Rangoli Patterns

We have been learning about Rangoli Patterns as part of our Festivals topic

Rangoli is celebrated during Divali

We decorated the Rangoli Patterns with colour pencils

We were very careful with the glitter!

Rangoli Patterns are used to welcome visitors into houses

We used bright colours

We used glitter to make the patterns stand out

We wear aprons when we use glue and glitter!
