More pictures from RE week.

As promised here are some more pictures of our activities during RE week.

The children were busy decorating blankets for Indian elephants. They chose lots of bright colours to make the blankets look as authentic as possible. You'll be able to see the finished elephants on our classroom window.


A huge "diolch yn fawr" to Mrs Davies who came in on Tuesday to help the children make pancakes. The children loved every minute of it!

Kyle gets ready to turn on the mixer to make the batter. Hope the lid is on Kyle!


Hallie's about to toss her pancake.


Farah is concentrating really hard!


Yum yum! Are there any more?

On Thursday we held our Hindu wedding. Here are some pictures from our wedding album!


Poppy and Ryan, our bride and groom exchange flower gardens.



They walk around the sacred fire.


Posing for a photo with the flower girls.



Our Hindu wedding buffet. The children enjoyed the flat breads and fruit.

More photographs of the wedding will be on show during Parents Evening.

I hope the children enjoyed learning about Hinduism and all their lovely activities. It was certainly a very busy week but well worth it!

See you all tomorrow!

RE week

Firstly I have to say a really big well done to everyone for our Eisteddfod on Friday. I was really proud of how all our Year 1s and 2s performed , both individually and in groups. They remembered all their words and they remembered to smile when they were up on the stage. Bendigedig!

As part of our 'Weather' topic we will be spending the next couple of weeks learning all about India. This week as part of our RE week, we are finding out lots of information about Hinduism and on Thursday we will be holding our very own Hindu wedding. We have a really packed week with lots of lovely activities for the children to do. Here are a few  pictures to show you what they have been up to so far.

A very special visitor came today to teach the children about Indian dance.

They all had a good go at some Indian dance moves.

Then they designed a coat for an Indian elephant. Their completed designs will be up on the classroom window soon.


It was a beautiful day so some of the children went outside and drew some Rangoli patterns on the yard. They were really colourful!

Keep checking the blog this week for more pictures of our RE week activities.

See you all tomorrow.
