Multi-faith week, by Miss Reynolds

Date: 1st Apr 2019 @ 3:49pm

Last week we took part in multi faith week. We were a little later than the rest of the school because we’d been away enjoying Hothersall Lodge, but we soon caught up! We spent the week looking at religious clothing and what significance they have in those religions. We also looked at PeaceMala bracelets and discussed equality and discrimaination. We have created these 3D paper mashier faces portraying some of the religious people that we discussed throughout the week...we’re  really proud of them! Some children were even kind enough to be our very own religious experts and shared their own beliefs with us.

Time has flown by this week.. our maths topic has been time. We made out own clocks to shadow what we knew about time, we have looked at analogue and digital time, the calendar , learnt about 24 hour time and spent time explaining our answers to reasoning questions.

We have also spent time being historians , thinking about what the Romans did for us , discussing a whole host of things we were left with when the Romans left Britain.The discussions were outstanding as we all chose our 8 most important things and explained why we had chosen them.

We have been extremely busy this week preparing for our performance.  You are in for a real treat.  The children have worked incredibly hard, I am so proud of them already.   If you havn't bought your tickets yet please see Linda in the office.

Costumes.

We have managed to make most of the costumes now, I have asked the girls to bring in a pair of black leggings if possible and the boys will be wearing their school trousers, remember to come back into school at night still wearing them!  Some children have trousers already organised by school and they know if this doesn't apply to them.
