Today, Years 5 and 6 welcomed a visitor who helped us to consider the true meaning of Christmas, encouraging children to be thoughtful about the important things during the festive period.
Well done for your amazing engagement and to those who shared their thoughts and opinions – it was really encouraging to hear your ideas.
2P looked at the Sikh faith and how prayer is an important part of worship. We considered things that we are thankful for and also others who might be in need of help. We wrote our own list of things that might be used as a prayer for those with beliefs. We then looked at the Sikh Khanda symbol. We created our own mosaics using this symbol as a central part of our patterns.

For our R.E. learning, we focused on religious festivals. Specifically, we looked at the Sikh festival of Bandi Chhor Divas.
We learnt about how it is celebrated in India, and what specific ways British families recognise the occassion.
We then told the story of the festival in groups by creating posters and storyboards.
Well done!
F1 have been learning about Sikhism and their special festival, Vaisakhi. We found out that Vaisakhi is a Sikh festival, that celebrates Harvest and New Year. Sikhs go to a special temple called a Gurdwara and listen to readings from their Holy Book. We looked at the special clothes Sikhs wear for this, and in provision coloured in their flags.
