Blog for Friday 21^st March 2025

So many cultural events celebrated the past 2 weeks in Reception! Last Friday, we learnt all about the Hindu Holi festival, which celebrates the triumph of good over evil and the end of winter. We were very lucky to have Mrs Lalan who spoke to the class all about how she celebrates and let us have some colourful fun with all the pigments she brought in for us to explore! Check out how bright we became!

On Monday, we celebrated St Patrick’s Day, and learnt all about how he was captured from England and sent to Ireland to be a shepherd, then escaped back to England, then finally returned when he had a dream which he believed was from God for him to return and convert the Irish people to Christianity. We made our own collaged Shamrocks out of tissue paper to represent how it is believed St Patrick taught the Irish people about the 3 main areas of God by using its three leaves to show, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.

Finally, on Thursday we had Hugo’s mum Sarah join us to teach us all about Nowruz, also known as the Persian or Iranian New Year, which is also another festival celebrating spring! She taught us how they celebrate too! Thank you for sharing your culture with us.
