We taught the children that Diwali means 'festival of lights' and that houses, shops and public places are decorated with lights. We learnt about why the lights are used and what Hindu people do to invite the goddess Lakshmi into their homes. The children then created their own Diwali lanterns. They were supported by staff in the construction of these. They did really well and used their fine-motor skills in order to do this. Well done 9P for remembering some key information about Diwali at the end of the lesson. It’s so interesting to learn about other cultures and you are all always eager to learn. We are very proud of you! ### 9P Autumn 2 Week 1 2024-2025 [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3258.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3258.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3259.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3259.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3260.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3260.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3261.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3261.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3262.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3262.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3263.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3263.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3264.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3264.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3268.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3268.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3269.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3269.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3270.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3270.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3272.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3272.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3273.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3273.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3275.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3275.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3276.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3276.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3277.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/astley-park-school/images/gallery/9p-autumn-2-week-1-2024-2025/IMG_3277.jpeg) [9R Class](https://astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/blog/tag/9r-class) [RE](https://astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/blog/tag/re) [The World About Me](https://astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/blog/tag/the-world-about-me) [Understanding the World](https://astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/blog/tag/understanding-the-world) [2024-2025](https://astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/blog/tag/2024-2025) [ 10A Autumn 2 Week 2 -
