We chopped pumpkins to a delicious soup. We used the leftover pumpkins to improve our fine motor skills and hand eye coordination by hammering golf tees into them. The children really enjoyed learning about Diwali, they made diyas from salt dough and decorated them independently. After looking at rangoli patterns we worked together to make our own pattern and put it in the doorway of our home corner. ### Nursery Week 1
