yEAR 3 RE

In our RE lessons, we are focusing on the religion 'Hinduism'. Siyona very kindly brought some items from her shrine at home to share with the class. Siyona discussed how she worships at home with her family and explained the importance of each item. Thank you, Siyona!

Shan-E-Zahra’s Time to Shine

This week Shan-E-Zahra told us all about Ramadan with the help of an interesting poster she had made herself at home. Finley helped by holding up the poster and Shan-E-Zahra explained exactly what happens during this time.

Nikunj’s Time to Shine

This week, Nikunj told us all about his little sister’s naming ceremony, traditionally known as Namakarana, that took place when he visited India recently. It was wonderful to learn more about his Hindu beliefs and customs. We hope your sister enjoyed her special day, Nikunj!

Diwali

Year 6 enjoyed learning about Diwali. It was lovely to hear how some of our class mates celebrated with families at the weekend. We even had a try at making Rangoli patterns.

Year 2 RE

To finish off our R.E topic on Christianity and the Easter Story, we made our own Easter Gardens and talked about what each part symbolised.

Year 3 Visit to All Saints Church

Year 3 (Tigers and Pandas) went on a trip to All Saints Church, in Newton Hall to learn about the features of a Christian Church and to find out more about Holy Communion. We had a great afternoon at the Church and used our RE skills from school to locate all the features in a ‘hunt’ activity. We also learnt lots more information to bring back to school for our next RE lessons.
