The class are continuing with the Religion and Rituals unit. In this unit about religious rituals, the class are learning about what rituals are and how they differ to routines. They think about the non-religious rituals they do every day or at special times and then learn about some important rituals in religions. The class will explore the rituals associated with prayer for Muslims, worship for Hindus and Holy Communion for Christian.

  

Class Book Review Journal
We are bringing back the class book review book! Our class will have one shared journal, and children will take turns to complete their review, one week per child. There are examples inside for inspiration, but we encourage creativity! Illustrations, diagrams, or unique layouts are all welcome.

 

I hope you have a great week!
