Diwali and Key Strings - What a brilliant first day back!

Date: 31st Oct 2016 @ 7:39pm

We have enjoyed a fantastic start to our half term.

This morning's assembly introduced us to the celebration of Diwali. We really enjoyed Mrs Kellet's talk about it and we couldn't wait to get back to class to act out the legend of Rama and Sita. Come and ask us about the story and we will be delighted to tell you about it. We also had chance to reflect upon the things that guide us in our own lives. During he session before lunch we created our very own Rangoli patterns... They looked brilliant! 

To finish our morning we created a pathway into our classroom to symbolise how the light can guide us to learning new things every day! 

This afternoon we were treated to a fantastic musical performance which was performed by Key Strings. The children learned all about how music has evolved over many different years. Some members of our class were extremely lucky and performed at the front in the band! Have a look at our attached pictures to see more. 

This afternoon's performance had a very important message. This week is Black History week here at Queen's Park and the performance introduced us to some famous black musicians that we will be studying throughout the week. Be sure to ask the children about it when you get the chance.
