This week class 5B travelled to India. We read the story of Pattan’s Pumpkin by Chitra Soundar about a farmer who grew an enormous pumpkin and saved the animals from a great flood. Pattan wrote us a letter and asked us to make a curry using vegetables from his farm. It tasted delicious!
We looked on google earth and found the Sahyadri Mountains where the story was based. We watched a film and chose pictures of the animals, people and places from the area to describe.
Last Saturday it was Diwali. We found out that Diwali is celebrated by the Hindu religion all over the world. We made some crafts to celebrate including Diva lamps and Rangoli patterns.
