School Celebrations
Mela 2024
As a whole school community we all celebrated Mela. This is where we celebrate all of the festivals from the different cultures.
We did things a little bit different this year!
Each class teacher taught the children about a different festival from a different faith. Each class spent time in the classes from Year 1 to Year 6.
The focus was on being creative when learning about a festival.
The staff and children had a fabulous day!
To top it off, at the end of the day, we invited the parents/carers to come into classrooms to look and discuss the work that their child(ren) had done throughout the day.
Each and every child produced some lovely work and they were so eager and proud to show off their work to their parents/carers.
Please take a look at the photos to see what amazing things took place in our school.

We celebrated Diwali as a whole school. We invited two Hindu families into our school to work with each class. Each class listened to Indian music and some even tried a dance or two. The children spent the day being creative, having fun and learning all about Diwali. The visitors, children and staff had a great day.
We enjoyed Bollywood dancing
Everyone had a go at dancing Bollywood style.
We had a special visitor in our school, a Hindu Priest named Sanat. He spoke to us about the religion of Hinduism and what it meant to him. He also taught us how and why Hindu's celebrate Diwali.
We had one of our parents visit our school to work with some children from EYFS and KS1. The children used bright colured powder to create a beautiful rangoli masterpiece to celebrate Diwali.
The children in KS2 worked collaboratively to create their own stunning rangoli pattern to celebrate Diwali.
