R.E.

This half term Year 3 are learning about Religious Festivals. We started our topic by looking at different festivals and celebrations, some were religious and some were non-religious.

Y2 RE

2D made puppets to tell the story of “The Lost Sheep”. Christian people believe that Jesus told this parable to give a message that people should care for others.

Year One – RE

We have been retelling the story of Palm Sunday and talking about why it is important to Christians. Look at our lovely Palm leaves.

Assembly

Year 3 loved learning about Ramadan and Eid in todays assembly. We learnt about how Muslims fast during daylight hours, meaning they are not allowed to eat or drink anything. They do this for 30 days and it reminds them of people who are less fortunate than themselves. Once the 30 days are over, they celebrate the end of Ramadan with Eid Al Fitr.

We are looking forward to our Eid themed lunch in school on Monday!

Eid Al Fitr
