On Wednesday we enjoyed a beautiful dance workshop, where we learnt about the celebrations that occur around Diwali. We wore some bright sarees and cultural clothing to embrace their dancing traditions. #LovePlover

R.E. visiting our learning!
Year 2 had the opportunity to visit a local church to see in real life some of the things they have been learning about in their R.E. lessons. Despite the heat, we arrived at the church. We learnt about why this was a Christian prayer space and identified religious symbols and artefacts. Then we did a carousel of activities based on the Easter story to help us see how Christians can use prayer. We were all very respectful and had a great time!

Flipping good fun!
2P have been using our work on instructions to create and make a pancake batter. This also linked to our expedition as we explored the processes of food preparation. We also looked at the religious and historical background to why we celebrate Shrove Tuesday and how it is celebrated in different ways around the world. We chose different toppings and then ate them all up. Delicious!

The Christmas Story
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 Faith Day
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.
