International Day

For International Day 2022, each class chose a different country to focus on. We were also lucky enough to have teachers and students from Chauncy School join us, sharing their language skills with us through a range of engaging activities. Over the course of the day, students moved between classes, allowing them to learn about a number of different countries and cultures in a day. We also discussed actions that we can take to create a sense of community and be positive global citizens! Have a look below to see what we got up to...

Asian Heritage week 

Across the school each year group chose an Asian country to explore in depth. This included studies on cultural traditions and also religious beliefs. The children really enjoyed a wide variety of activities including exploring food, clothing, traditions and languages. 

Multi-Faith Week 

In November, we held a Multi-Faith week, as a celebration of the diverse and multi-cultural world we live in. 

We all had a wonderful week learning about a number of religions and cultures through story, drama, dance, roleplay and art.  

This included: 

- A year 6 visit to Queen's Park in Bedford, for a tour of a mosque, church and gurdwara. 

- Year 5 visiting St Mary's Church and the Church of the Twelve Apostles (Greek Orthodox Church) to compare and contrast the features of - the church and how the Eucharist/Holy Communion is carried out. 

- A visit for Years 1-4 from Bhaktivedanta Manor to teach them about the traditions of Hare Krishna. 

- A Hindu dance session for Foundation Stage. 

- A focus on faith stories in English lessons and assemblies for the week. 

- A collaborative piece of artwork created by each year group, showcasing their studies of their contrasting religion. 

- Cross-phase carousel to explore a number of different faiths.
