Eid Mubarak!

The Rachel Keeling Nursery School community came together as it always does to celebrate Eid.
Children had already been supported to share lots of talk about their Eid celebrations and other celebrations their families observe.
Children knew that for some celebrations people have parties and share food. Some children also knew that special clothes might be worn.
Some children said members of their family went to the mosque at Eid. 
During the week before our celebration, children helped to prepare food. They followed recipes, sustaining concentration, using one handed tools and collaborating with others to make: baklava, cupcakes and dipped dates in chocolate.
We also invited each child to bring in a piece of fruit which we worked collaboratively to make a huge fruit platter and fruit kebabs. 
Children were invited to wear their party clothes: some children chose to have Mendhi.
Children shared food, talk and joy!

We hope those of you who celebrated Eid had a wonderful time. 
Remember you can email Becky a photograph to print out for your child's Special Book.
