We learnt about how Diwali is celebrated and how many of the traditions are similar to Christmas, such as decorating with beautiful lights, wearing special clothes, enjoying delicious food and spending precious time with family and loved ones. ❤️ We also took time this week to celebrate **Remembrance Day**. We talked about the importance of remembering and thanking all those who help to keep us safe. The children worked together to create a beautiful poppy wreath and respectfully took part in the two-minute silence. 🌺 Well done, everyone, for another lovely week full of learning, creativity, kindness and special moments together! ❤️ ### Diwali/remembrance
