Jewish people celebrate Sukkot which is just like the Christian Harvest Festival.

Bronze Age Traders - Tuesday 26th September 2017
As part of our topic Tribal Tales, the children took part in a role-play experience to find out how people in The Bronze Age traded their food and possessions with other tribes. It was a very loud lesson as they first had to choose a tribe leader before they could trade their goods!
No Outsiders in Year 3 was about celebrating how, although we look different, we are still similar on the inside.

The children learnt about Zakah, the third pillar of Islam, and chose which charity they would give to. They had lots of interesting reasons why they would give to those charities.

PSHE - 11th September 2017
Today we were thinking about how to be safe near roads. The children had many ideas about how to do this:
Eshal - Cars shouldn't park on the pavement.
Nawal - Look for the green man before you cross the road.
Iqra - Wait for the cars to stop before you cross the road.
Saliq - You should hold an adult's hand to cross the road.
Muzamel - Never cross on your own. Stay on the path.
Amirah - If a car is coming, look both ways before you cross the road.
Aqsa - Let the cars go and then you can cross.
Iqra - You shouldn't cross the road between parked cars.
Laibah - Use a zebra crossing to cross the road safely.
Marta V. - Wait for the cars to stop before crossing at a zebra crossing.
PSHE - What do we know about safety?
