Today P1A learnt about the food and drink that are important during Diwali. We decorated our biscuits by making Rangoli patterns with food dye and paintbrushes. (Lesson 3) E&O: I am becoming aware of the importance of celebrations, festivals and customs in religious people’s lives. RME 0-06a

Lesson 2 of my HWB sequence encourages children to draw their carer/safe adult and share what this adult does that makes them feel cared for! E&O: I know there are people in our lives who care for us and look after us and I am aware that people may be cared for by parents, carers or other adults.
