A big thank you for all of the children this week for working so so hard. 
Not only have the children worked hard in class, but they have worked their absolute socks off at the school performances this week. They have worked so hard to learn the songs, the dances and have the confidence to step on the stage in front of so many children and adults - we are so so proud of them.

On Friday the children across school celebrated the Festival of Lights, and learned about how this is celebrated in different religions. Year 2 learnt about the festival of 'Diwali', meaning 'rows of light. We learnt about the story of Rama and Sita, and how the heroic prince saved his princess by defeating the Evil King Ravana in a huge battle with monkeys and other animals! We learnt that good always triumphs over evil and light always triumps over darkness. The children spent the afternoon creating their own Mendhi designs and colouring their own Rangoli patterns.

Have a lovely restful weekend.
