Nursery- Celebrations

Throughout our exploration of various celebrations, we learned about the traditions of each one and discovered how people celebrate them. For Halloween, we created our own witches’ potions, dressed up for a spooky Halloween party as well as discussed the different ways we celebrate Halloween with our families. During Bonfire Night, we practiced fire safety and roasted marshmallows around a campfire. For Diwali, we created beautiful Rangoli patterns and learned about the Festival of Light whilst exploring light and dark concepts. Finally, at Christmas, we performed a nativity play, made cards and decorations, and celebrated with a party. These experiences helped us gain a richer understanding of the customs, values, and joy that make each celebration unique.

What the Teacher says

The children have shown great enthusiasm and curiosity in learning about different celebrations. The highlight of my half term was watching the children perform their very first Christmas Nativity. I was beaming with pride to see them get up on the stage and show off what they have been practicing! They were all so brave and tried their hardest throughout the whole performance.
