Last week to celebrate 'World Religion Day', year 6 created posters to show what they are inspired by. They used collage taken from newspapers and magazines to portray an abstract piece of work. They also wrote a small explanation about their inspiration for later life.
To celebrate 'World Religion Day' 4K produced some religious art work. The theme was 'Are we spoiling God's good Earth?' We reflected on the fact that many religions teach their followers that the Earth is God's creation, but the beauty of it, is being destroyed by humans. Using water colour paints we demonstrated how our [...]
RD looked at lots of different information about 'World Religion Day', we spoke about the different religions in the world and the children said words that they knew based on their own religions. To show the unity and respect for each other that 'World Religion Day' brings, we created a colourful background of all the [...]
In Nursery we have been discussing holy words and the religions of Islam, Christianity and Hinduism. We have been talking about different festivals that we can celebrate during the year and how people might celebrate them.

From the fragrance of thriving fisheries to the stench of the sewage works, manure to match makers, and fertiliser fumes to fizzy pop factories. The children got [...]
