• Gung hey fat choi! (Happy Chinese New Year!)

  Fri 31 Jan 2025

  Yesterday we all enjoyed a visit from four Chinese friends who came to talk to us about Chinese New Year. We enjoyed a whole school assembly where we found out how the festival is celebrated and how it originated. We enjoyed watch the story of the animal race and thinking about what animal year we were born in! You can watch the story on the cebeebies website. 

  After the whole school assembly, our four friends held a workshop with Year 4 who enjoyed learning how to write 'Good luck' in Chinese and made dragons and snakes. 

  2025 is the year of the snake.

• Sikhism Visitor

  Thu 16 Jan 2025

  We had a great visit from Jaswinder Singh yesterday. He is a Sikh and came into school to tell us a little bit about his religion. He played a couple of musical instruments for us and told us about meditation. The children all listened so well to him and asked some brilliant questions at the end.
