Jo jo Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Help going to be observed doing circle time with nursery children aged 3 and 4. Our topic is Diwali. Does anyone have any good ideas for a Diwali circle time? All I can think of is looking at artefacts and talking about how people celebrate Diwali. It will be the first day of our topc and the children may not know very much about Diwali. Any ideas greatly appreciated thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 there's some nice video clips on espresso if your school has subscribed to it. or look online for one? could show a diva and photos/pictures and compare it to our christmas celebrations? or a little story? x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolong Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 hi have a look at cbeebies, they have a programme called 'Let's Celebrate!' and a programme on Diwali is about to be put on, I looked yesterday for my reception class. I found a power point on TES which is very simple with lovely photos. http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Diwali-Festival-of-Lights-6122384/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
