Celebration of Eid The children today learnt about Eid. How it is celebrated and what happens before and on this special day. We had children from Year 6 that came down to nursery to talk about Ramadan and how they fasted for 30 days and did not eat in the day time. After this time the children talked about Eid and how they celebrated with family and friends, they went to the Mosque and received gifts. We then sat together to enjoy some food.

Reception- RE - The Wise and Foolish Builders
Yesterday in R.E we looked at the story of the wise and foolish builders. After reading the story together we decided to create this scenario ourselves. The children built two lego houses, one of them stood on a solid foundation and the other stood on the sand. We used lots of water to mimic a flood, one house stood strong and the other fell down! The moral of the story being, if we listen to the words of God we will be wise and stand strong just like the builder who built his house on the rocks.
