Year 1 enjoyed their visit from a Muslim visitor. They learnt all about the Mosque, Allah and Mecca. They enjoyed learning how to say some of the Arabic alphabet and dressing up in the traditional Muslim clothes. 

Year 3 have been learning about earthquakes and their devastating effects. The children designed earthquake proof buildings and used junk modelling to make them. They will test their buildings on the shake tray to see if they can survive an earthquake. 

Peace and calm reigned in Year 4 this afternoon in our yoga session with Miss Harrop. The children practised mindfulness during breathing exercises and yoga poses. How very relaxing on a very wet and windy day. 

Yesterday year 6 really enjoyed their workshop with visitor Imran. They were very curious and had some fantastic questions that they were keen to ask to further their knowledge about Islam. We focused on what is like to be a Muslim in Britain today. Can you remember the name of any famous British Muslims year 6? Please bring in facts about a famous Muslim to share in class.

The children had a great time in forest school. We talked about different types of birds, what they eat and what they sound like. Then we made two different types of bird feeders, played the sparrow hawk game and enjoyed making soup in the mud kitchen. Well done everyone! 

Imran, a Muslim visitor taught Year 3 stories of Muhammad, we learnt Muhammad had so much sadness in his life as lots of his family had died. 

However, later in his life he had a calling from Allah. Muhammad went to live in the wilderness to receive messages from God. 

Did you know Imran loved Muhammad more than anyone else? A good Muslim does and Imran has even been to Mecca.

Today, Year 2 were visited by a special visitor 'Imran' who came to talk to us about his faith, Islam. Imran was very impressed with the children's knowledge of the Islamic faith. Well done everybody!

Today, Imran came into class to teach Year 4 about the Prophet Mohammad. It was fascinating to find out about the life of the Prophet. The children were amazed to find out how the Prophet lived through so many tragedies in his life. The calling from Allah was strong and Mohammad went into the wilderness to receive messages from God through Angel Gabriel, writing these down in the Quran. The children were very respectful and listened intently to Imran when he was explaining. They also asked some very good questions too.

What an amazing opportunity we had today as Joseph's dad came and shared his childhood stories from Scotland. We revelled in his stories about The Loch Ness Monster and the Goddess Beira. The children loved the taste of Scotland as he'd brought in Iron Bru and homemade shortbread.  A massive thank you for coming and talking to the class, it really brought the Scottish myths and legends to life and gave them meaning. 

Today, we started our new Svience topic 'Aniamals including Humnas. We worked in small groups to describe how animals change as they grow. We matched offspring's to their adults and learnt the names of baby animals. .
