Road Safety
This week we have been learning about Road Safety. The 5th class buddies used chalk to draw footpaths, roads and zebra crossings in the school yard to help the children learn how to cross the road safely. The children enjoyed cutting out and creating a network of roads which they used to learn more about road safety.
We also had fun dancing along to the Safe Cross Code song.

Diwali
As part of our B.S.S.E. subject the children have been learning about Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Light. Diwali comes from the Hindu word Deepavali which means “row of lights.”
The Festival of Diwali begins on Sunday November 12th and will continue for 5 days. We are learning about some of the
customs and traditions associated with the festival.
Today we coloured in Rangoli patterns and made Diwali cards. We also made Diyas out of clay.

Stick Man
We really enjoyed reading the picture book 'Stick Man'.
We collected sticks with our 5th class buddies and made our own Stick Men. Then we thought of new adventures that Stick Man could go on and drew pictures of him on his adventure.

During the festival people go to the synagogue to pray and
the shofar (a trumpet made of a ram’s horn) is sounded.
Apples and honey are eaten for a sweet New Year!!!
