Making a model of a church and a mosque
This term, the children in Hedgehog Class have been learning about “special places”. Our work has included learning about the features of a church and those of a mosque. Today, the children were set a challenge to make a model of a church or a model of a mosque using everything that they have learnt about churches and mosques this term. I think they all did a fantastic job!
Open the Book
Our friends from the church came in this morning for Open the Book. This morning, we were learning and thinking about the story “Jesus Calms the Storm” which links with our school value focus for this month, “Peace”.
Well done and thank you to the adult volunteers as well as the volunteers in Owl Class!
