You can discuss the curriculum with your child
The overview for our learning in the second half-term is ‘Festivals and Lights’. This will focus around two books – Diwali (a non-fiction text) and ‘Ten Little Lights’ (fiction story) by Twinkl. These will help the children learn about the Hindu festival of light; Diwali, and this will stimulate our circle time session around ‘What celebrations, festivals and special times do we celebrate? then make a class list of these. We will begin to recognise and understand that people have different beliefs and celebrate special times in different ways.
Please spend a few minutes chatting with your child and ask them some simple questions such as: What things do you celebrate in your family? What kinds of things do you do to celebrate? Who celebrates with you? Do you have a favourite or special celebration? How to festivals and celebrations make you feel? Do you like the dark? What makes light?
