Learning about Holi from Kalpesh Zalavadiya

April 2024

In the morning, we learnt all about Holi and how the festival is a multi-faceted celebration. It is a celebration of good conquering evil,

the start of spring, a day to rid oneself of past errors and a day to forgive and forget. It is a colourful, joyful celebration!

We learnt different Bollywood and Bhangra dances and the meaning behind the music and dance moves.  

In the afternoon, we participated in the second tradition of Holi! The first day of the Holi festival consists of sharing food with family

and friends around a bonfire and then enjoying dancing and parades. The second day traditionally hosts a paint throwing event!

The paint represents the bonfire Prahalad was saved from. The bright colours are also chosen to symbolise

happiness and merriment and putting the powder on friends and family represents spreading love and joy to others. In the afternoon

we showed our Parents and Carers our dancing and they were invited to join in with our paint-throwing. We all loved it and it was

worth the three hair washes we each had to have afterwards!

Bawdsey School's Science week

Exploring flight  and using time as a measure (skill) to help record results.

EYFS looked at flight in nature and tested folding and throwing paper planes. KS1 tested different plane designs and how far they

could throw them. KS2 looked at the world record for a paper plane flight and chose one variable to change,

either aeroplane shape or material used to make it, the angle of the throw or the height of the throw to see what would make the

most difference. They timed how long it was in the air for, as well as the distance it travelled. They then presented their findings in

an assembly to everyone and practised their presentation oracy skills.

Tod from the Deben Marine Centre came to explain the volunteers' work and how we could apply this in our Beach school sessions.
