Ramadan 2024
To mark the Islamic festival of Ramadan in school, we had a visit from one of our parents who is a member of the local Islamic community. Our visitor came in and shared information about Ramadan with a group of children from across the whole school. The children and adults learnt about the traditions of this special time of year for Muslims. This was a fantastic experience and a wonderful opportunity to exchange cultural knowledge and develop children's understanding of a world faith. Respect for, and tolerance towards other people and their views are two of the fundamental British values that we teach children in school. It was heartwarming to see our children demonstrate these values as they worked together in the group.

World Book Day 7th March 2024
From The World Book Day Website: https://www.worldbookday.com/
World Book Day was created by UNESCO on 23rd April 1995 as a worldwide celebration of books and reading. World Book Day is marked in over 100 countries around the globe. The first World Book Day in the UK and Ireland took place in 1997 to encourage young people to discover the pleasure of reading. As World Book Day founder, Baroness Gail Rebuck, recalls “We wanted to do something to reposition reading and our message is the same today as it was then – that reading is fun, relevant, accessible, exciting, and has the power to transform lives.”
To celebrate World Book Day, children in Year 5 and Year 6 make props to tell stories to our nursery and reception children. Children and staff from Nursery through to year 4 dressed up as characters from some of our favourite nursery rhymes and fairy tales. have a look at the photographs.
