What Little Explorers did for diwali

Diwali was on the 11th of November and everybody at Little Explorers joined in celebrating the Hindu festival of lights.
The word Diwali means rows of lighted lamps. This is when Hindu's celebrate the return of there God's Rama and Sita. They make lanterns and set off fireworks.

During the day the children made pretty lanterns from paper to decorate for the party. They also made very colourful, decorated Hindu elephants. On the evening we drew and coloured complicated rangoli patterns.

Finally we tasted four different curries: korma, tikka masala, makhani and Bombay potatoes. We also tried naan bread and poppadums.  

We asked some of the little explorers what they thought about the curry tasting:
Harry J said, "It was yum." While Harry R thought, "It tasted like chicken pie.". Eleanor said "My favourite was the creamy one, I liked dipping in the bread."

It was a fabulous experience.

Little Explorers Bonfire Night

On Bonfire Night, Little Explorers had a super firework party. Here are some of the things we did.
It was the 5th of November; Neve, Harry, Isobel, Eleanor, Lizzie & Abigail were getting ready for a special party.

We decorated firework biscuits with popping candy on to make it taste nice. They exploded in your mouth like fireworks.

During the day, the Little Explorers prepared for the party by making some safe sparklers. They stuck some shiny ribbons and glittery stars onto sticks. When they played with them on the evening they glitters and made pretty colours just like real sparklers, but nobody could get hurt.

I asked Abigail what she thought about the safe sparklers, she said "It was bright and shiny. I waved it. Abigail made one for Baby Hannah."

We hope we do it all again next year.

Eleanor, Sam and Lizzie went to Kirkleatham last week. They played on the slide and the swing. Then they saw a train and looked at leaves in the woods.

"It was my favourite day I hope we go again."

Busy exploring the Play Factory.

Lizzie, Eleanor and Harry went to the Play Factory last week. They had lots of fun and laughter while playing.

Lizzie tried to go on the slide but she went the wrong way. They enjoyed some snacks between the fun. Harry and Eleanor tried to spot Debbie from the tunnel.

I asked Eleanor what she liked about the Play Factory, she said "We went really fast over the bumps on the slide."
It looked like great fun, I hope that one day I will be able to go too!
