Year 3 Visit a Hindu Temple
As part of their work on Hinduism, this week Year 3 visited a Hindu temple in Bradford to bring their learning to life. During the visit children explored about the Hindu Gods, and researched the differences between a Hindu wedding and a Christian wedding. All the children were expected to take off their shoes and wash their hands prior to entering the temple and they were lucky enough to experience Hindu worship time.
Forces
It has been a busy half term full of exciting opportunities and great learning experiences for your children. This week we officially launch our new website, we hope you like it. To me it is an outward sign of the progress the school continues to make. Children are progressing well, lessons are fun and engaging and there is a really positive feel about school. I have had the pleasure of showing a number of prospective parents around recently and all have commented on how wonderful our school is. There is still room for improvement and we continue to pursue excellence in all we do but it is great to have affirmation of everyone's hard work.
We look forward to seeing you all on Monday 22nd February, until then have a safe and restful half term.
