Year 2 - A fantastic couple of days - 20th October 2017

What a wonderful couple of days we have had in year 2.  Mr Farrington visited us on Wednesday, he led a whole school assembly telling a story of an Indian boy who traveled far and wide showing a caring attitude where ever he went.  We also learned about farming in India and food!  During the afternoon the children enjoyed trying and tasting some new flavours including all kinds of exotic fruit, rice, curry, chutney, pickle and Indian breads.  Thank you Mr and Mrs Farrington for leading such an interesting and tasty day!
Today was our India day in year 2 and the start of the Hindu festival Diwali.  The children have enjoyed making curries with Mrs Webb during the week and with a lot of help from Mrs Mistry-Dyer and Mrs Mathew we had a real banquet ready for the parents this afternoon when they came to visit our Indian restaurant!  The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed our Bollywood Bop dancing.  Well done year 2 and thank you so much to all of the adults who have made these inspiring days possible.
Happy Diwali Everyone.
Please remember that we would like your child to wear their costume from today in our class assembly on Friday 3rd November.  Please bring it to school in a named bag in the week after half term.
