Guest Really Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 We are soon to spend a whole week as a school on Hinduism. Reception's focus will be family. Anyone any ideas of what I can do, any food I could cook and stories I could use in Literacy? Anything please as I just can't think of anything - maybe that is because it is 10.30pm on a Friday!!
Guest Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 The story of Rama and Sita springs to mind. How about cooking a vegetable curry? You could do your literacy around it too - list of ingredients, instructions, invitations to others to come and share etc etc Any good?
Guest Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Oh, just re-read your post! Don't know about the family bit for a story
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Sorry I haven't replied before, been thinking about it (ouch). How about looking at rangoli patterns and decorating the role play area as if for Diwali - I know it's the wrong time of year, but it's 'family'. Sue
AnonyMouse_73 Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 havr you thought about doing soemhting about Holi, Im sure that come up about now (Ill have a check and get back on the date)?

Guest Really Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 http://www.christian-aid.org.uk/learn/shompa/index.htm Found this book - looks pretty good and free resources to download too. Total cost was £18, so not too bad.
